Moron defense not working in court for all the conspiracists. — Amanda Marcotte at Salon
YAF and Scott Walker got a Michigan professor relieved of his teaching duties for saying mean things about their “free speech” “Berlin wall.” How about that. (Don Moynihan)
What a very interesting way of framing Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker explaining how Hitler called Jews vermin. How very interesting. — Fox News reprinted at MSN
There is so much thought in this, and so much history and ritual and morality and pain. Ezra Klein (yes him) interviews Rabbi Sharon Brous about the Jewish Left and the Jewish state and becoming brutal and the emotional sea change. It’s very very good. — Gift link New York Times
Twitter’s not putting ads next to pro-Hitler content on purpose, just by accident, and that makes everything better. (Media Matters)

And the UAW ratifies the auto contracts! I was talking to an uncle at a birthday party the other night who was pretty surprised it got voted through, pretty unhappy that as a person who’s been at Stellantis a long time he’s getting less of a raise than the noobs, and didn’t believe me when I said that at a minimum he’d be getting a 25 percent raise plus a $5000 (just this year) ratification bonus. I feel like everybody’s never happy? — Gift link Washington Post

Today’s hed gif source is “The 4th Man.” More info here: https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/the-fourth-man
I live in the same part of Louisiana that Fenton is in, a lot of small towns here profit from fines. There's a town that's between the town where I live and the city where I work that will pull people over for going 2 miles over the speed limit. You can always tell who lives here and who's just visiting, because residents know to obey the posted speed limit to the millimeter. (BTW I am not defending this practice, I think it sucks and is not a sustainable way to power a town.)
