Can a nation organized and governed such as ours endure? A whole world looks to see what we will do. We cannot fail their trust. We cannot fail to try.

When I was a kid the Berlin Wall was up. I just assumed that it would be there forever. When I was born it had been up 16 years. It would just always be there, right? And then the year I turned 12 my Mom and I watched it come down and Germany became whole again.
Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

RFK talks about autistic and Arabic people the exact same way. He assumes they are not capable of ordinary or extraordinary achievements because of who they are. He considers them sub-human because they are not like him. This makes it plain that his is a white supremacist eugenicist project.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

One of the problems with Jurassic Park (the movie) is it’s too much of a thin resetting of Westworld (the movie) rather than leaning more in to Jurassic Park (the book). Ironically, one of the improvements that Westworld (the series) makes is it also pulls inspiration from Jurassic Park (the book).
I remember watching "Westworld" a year or so after seeing "Jurassic Park" and thinking, "Wow. Crichton really ripped this off. Then seeing at the end that Michael Crichton was also responsible for "Westworld."

Today in Mississippi, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Scott Colom showed up to meet and talk with Trump supporters who were in line for the president's rally with incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. Read more about the race: www.mississippifreepress.org/meet-the-can...
First, he’s breaking the damn law campaigning. Second, he’s a revolting gutter racist.

i like that the big divide on this post is whether people read it, correctly, as "*run explicitly* on banning online gambling" or whether they ignored the modifying verb and adverb and read it as "i don't think anyone should ban online gambling"
i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Something that stood out to me when speaking to young Black women in Greensboro who went to vote: They are fully aware of what their ancestors and grandparents did to win them the right to vote and they don't take that for granted. #NCPol #NCSen thepoliticalspectrum.substack.com/p/theyre-att...

Happy National Pumpkin Day, Illinois. Did you know that our state is the nation’s #1 producer of pumpkins? Last year, we grew 535 million pounds of pumpkins — more than the next four top states combined!

From last year -- a link to the story I wrote for Vanity Fair when I first began going to Broadview ICE, plus links to a couple threads BV threads from last year. I did a lot more threads w/photos & video, but I can't find them just now. bsky.app/profile/mory...
🔥 As you may have seen, in recent days, I've been going to the Broadview ICE facility near where I live. For @vanityfair.com I wrote about those protests & the hell that the Chicago area is being put through thanks to ICE/DHS. I hope you'll read this & share it. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Wild chain of events: An artist on FB asked who the subject of a painting was--she'd painted from a photo. A friend alerted me. I was able to tell Shannon Burch that her painting of a woman protesting at Broadview ICE... was me. Honored, to say the least. Abolish ICE www.instagram.com/p/De48EQUGYSF/
