bigger deal in this story abt Trumps absurd drama with Netanyahu is how he’s still so needy for Putins support and grateful for it
2/ the most important thing we shld expect from foreign leaders is to respect the results of our elections. Trump is angry at foreign leaders who put their relationship with the American republic over jim. another example of why he is a clear and presff etc by danger
3/ there is every reason to think he’s currently plotting with countries like Saudi to drive Biden from power
4/‘clear and present danger’ obviously above, not the autocorrect jibberish

Trump Coup Plot Now Includes Kanye’s Weirdo Publicist, tried to force Georgia election worker to confess to rigging election with threats of jail or violence. Told her "Harrison Ford" could help her but only if she confessed. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump-c…
2/ Trevian Kutti became West's "Director of Operations" in 2018. That was just after she quit as R Kelly's chief publicist when he was being hit with a series of new sex trafficking/rape accusations.
3/ Here's Trevian's bio at the "Women's Global Initiative". Her firm "Trevian Worldwide" doesn't appear to have a website. She appears to still be Kanye's "Director of Operations". womensglobalinitiative.com/team/trevian-k…

This whole thing is obviously bonkers. But I'm intrigued by that final clause "which does not include the worldwide context". Context is always critical of course. But the aim seems to be don't talk about slavery without noting that slavery also existed in lots of other places!
2/ As far as it goes, that's important point. The US didn't invent slavery. It was part of a multiple century transatlantic system which began with the Portuguese and Spanish and reached its height under British hegemony and its most horrific versions in the sugar ...
3/ islands under British and French control. You can never extract Britain's North America colonies from this Atlantic context. But you can also see that these laws are designed to create a kind of statutory footing for classroom whataboutism. But what about the slavers in ...

I had not considered this dimension of overturning Roe. Eric (who's very knowledgable about these issues) says Wisconsin never repealed its pre-Roe abortion statute. I think that means that statute becomes operative again if Roe is overturned. So maybe abortion will be ...
2/ illegal the day Roe is overturned, probably next summer. Now in practice, that doesn't mean the state will start enforcing the law immediately. And perhaps there's some reason a law doesn't revive in the way I'm describing. But I don't think there is. More importantly ...
3/ I can't imagine this is the only state where this is the case. Wisconsin has a Democratic governor for now. And obviously the state government could change the law on a dime. But the GOP is close to having a super majority in the state legislature because of gerrymandering.

This may be affecting or maudlin or simply trivia. Maybe all three. Watching the new Beatles doc I'm reminded of Two of Us, for me one of the band's most affecting songs. I'd always assumed it was Paul's song written about John Lennon, the breakdown of their friendship and ...
2/ the Beatles as a band. I've since learned that a lot of Beatles experts interpret it the same way. I have no idea if this is actually true or whether McCartney had any particular idea in mind when he wrote it. But there is that one lyric: ...
3/ "You and I have memories / Longer than the road that stretches out ahead". When I was younger it never really occurred to me that this is a very odd thing for a 26 year old to say in much of any context, whether it's about Lennon or anyone else.

The only thing that seems clear from the new variant news - and most of it remains uncertain, tbd - is that we need to be investing massively in vaccine production capacity. Having most of the world unvaxed creates too big a breeding ground for new variants. And that’s setting…
2/ aside entirely the ethical and moral issues involved, which are vast. We need more vaccines produced more quickly. We also need them for ongoing vaccination campaigns. The odds of this new variant dramatically changing vaccine protection seem low. But over time …
3/ it seems basically certain that viral evolution will chip away at vaccine immunity. Updated vaccines can be produced for new variants. That part isn’t that complicated, especially with the mRNA vaccines. But producing 100s of millions and billions of doses and distributing …

Earlier this month, Darrell Brooks, the suspect in the Waukesha crowd killings, was arrested for intentionally running over a women in a gas station parking lot after a fight. He posted bail and was released from Milwaukee County Jail on Nov 16th.
2/ The county DA now says the $1,000 bail was "inappropriately low." In the previous two years Brooks had been charged a total of three times with recklessly endangering the safety of others, including the gas station attack. jsonline.com/story/news/cri…
3/ And for clarity: Yes, you're reading that right. Brooks got out on bail a week ago for intentionally running over someone else.
