The Commander of ICE-CPB troops in Chicago, Gregory Bovino appeared in federal court today, on the order of federal judge Sara Ellis. Bovino is personally alleged to have violated the court’s order banning certain uses of tear gas and other riot control tactics. The hearing was extraordinary. 1/ #LawFedi

How long will you suffer the #CognitiveDissonance of pretending otherwise?

The reverse Robin Hood: take from the poor to give to the rich.

Stephen King knows horror better than anyone.

With new COVID-19 variants looming and renewed attacks on vaccines, masks, and other basic preventative measures, I just want to mention that:

- I still routinely mask up in crowded or poorly ventilated spaces. I mask on planes and trains. I teach with my mask on.

- I test any time I'm feeling under the weather.

- I plan to get the updated vaccine.

I'd *prefer* not to do any of this, but at worst, it's in the "mild inconvenience" category, and far preferable to long-term disability.

Paul Krugman, writing from the Netherlands:
“People here don’t seem to be gripped by the political anxiety that has infested America since Trump took power again. Yesterday was Liberation Day, which in the Netherlands means the day the Nazis were driven out — by the Canadian army! — rather than the day they hiked tariffs. We watched the ceremony with Dutch friends, and it was beautiful and moving. It is nice to be in a country where everyone agrees that the Nazis were bad.” #Europe

Auschwitz Memorial Apr 30

30 April 1945 | As Soviet forces neared his command bunker in Berlin Adolf Hitler shot himself.

Hitler's Thousand Year Reich lasted twelve years, four months & eight days.

We need to commemorate all the victims & remember where ideologies of hatred may lead humanity to.
