It wasn’t Alex Cora’s fault the Red Sox roster stinks, and he shouldn’t have been fired over it - The Boston Globe
Cora wasn't the problem with this team. It's the roster. It's the 26 guys John Henry and Craig Breslow gave Cora.

Remember all this nonsense about the supposed inferiority of “third world” immigration? They really believed that and applied their theory to international relations and it failed. Racism makes you stupid.
One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

They started a war of choice for absolutely no reason, with no real strategy and no real preparation, and the end result will be a global situation that is, in every single way, worse than what it was when they started.
Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social · 4mo agoAmazing. But it seems that the US is *assuming* that Iran will emerge from the war vastly stronger. able to either dictate or seriously contest sovereignty over the strait, exact tolls, etc.
The only responsibility I feel right now, along with many others in Germany, is to keep bookmarking moments like this, so that people here don't turn around and tell the rest of the world "we had no idea what was happening". They know. Everyone knows. At best - at best - they don't want to see it.

Is this extremely predictable, extremely predicted outcome unplanned, though? Or have capital and its assistant, the state, been relentlessly shaving down the mediating layer between public funds and private profit, "education," for decades?

Jack Smith thought Trump intended to exploit national security secrets for profit. Trump's second administration is suddenly a machine of trading on national security secrets. These are two scandals—but really just one. And the great powers re-evaluating America's role in the world are watching.
Expose ALL Of Trump's War Profiteering
It can serve as a downpayment to the world on our commitment to restore accountable democracy to America.

This is utterly extraordinary. If Hegseth et al got this wrong, think what else is happening with the drug boat strikes and much more. The U.S. Said It Helped Bomb a Drug Camp. It Was a Dairy Farm. Gets worse as you read it. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/w...

Awful: Stephen Miller is privately urging Texas lawmakers to restrict funding for the public education of undocumented kids. This has long been a right-wing dream: They want to get SCOTUS to reverse Plyler v Doe and further chip away at 14th Amendment. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2081...
The thing is, I think these are all fundamentally correct & completely reconcilable political economies of the contemporary.
demolishing one of the very top largest U.S. exports attacking higher education is economic sabotage, exhibit 174
Sarah Darer Littman@sarahdarerlittman.com · 5mo ago"Now, after months of delays, we have U.S. Department of State data on visa issuances during the critical summer months of May to August 2025. The actual decline in new foreign students: 36 percent. Only once have incoming overseas enrollments contracted as much or more — during the Covid pandemic."
Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.
I am old enough to remember the vitriol directed at random humanities scholars' work complaining about the totalizing tendencies of capitalism to corrupt, colonize, or co-opt everything. I also lived long enough to read long term coverage of the literal attempt to privatize thinking in the newspaper

That is the logic of anti-dei reactionary colorblindness. Acknowledging discrimination against a particular group is inherently discriminatory. bsky.app/profile/bren...
Brendan Nyhan@brendannyhan.bsky.social · 5mo agoAccording to DOGE flunky, a documentary about the experiences of Jewish women's slave labor during the Holocaust is "inherently discriminatory." Come ON.
maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

The constitution's design does not grant the president a kinglike ability to take the country to war by himself, lest he do so for self-serving reasons. That is the entire purpose of dividing that authority between POTUS and Congress. Guess what just happened? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
