Our Pulitzer-winning "Friends of the Court" series began with this story that revealed how SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas had, for 20+ years, been treated to undisclosed luxury vacations by real estate titan and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow.

The guys who most complained about wearing masks during Covid now wear bigger ones to intimidate people and to hide their identities.
Effing cowards and hypocrites . Shame on all of these racist asswipes

New: We found that the Supreme Court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation of how they voted or the reasons why. https://t.co/bOHVbyqEtz

It's busier in Jackson Park these days now that the rest of the city is discovering it due to the Obama Center, but the birds in the Wooded Island lagoon seem unconcerned, I'm happy to say.

I'm playing serious catch-up with a bunch of this year's new jazz releases and I'm having a great fucking time. Here are 4 standouts so far:
• Sharada Shashidhar, A Foot On The Ground
• Micah Thomas, Lucid
• Phillip Golub, Partisan Ship
• DoYeon Kim, Wellspring

The Prairieland model is in motion: inflate anti-ICE protest into a terrorism narrative, then use the courts to punish people for being part of a movement.

“What she did…was to make me think why capitalism is not only efficient and practical, but also moral” - Alan Greenspan, speaking about his guru Ayn Rand in 1974.

It's worth understanding the role that this partnership played in unleashing the savageries of the modern market.

When Greenspan was still working in the corporate sector, Rand’s ideas about the “utopia of greed” infused him with a powerful sense of mission: apparently, making money wasn’t just good for him - it was good for society as a whole.

As for those who got trampled? Rand helped with that too: “Parasites who persistently avoid either purpose or reason perish as they should,” Greenspan wrote.

This mindset served him well as Fed Chair, where he supported shock therapy in Russia (72 million impoverished) and in East Asia after the 1997 economic crisis (24 million pushed into unemployment). Not to mention attacks on welfare and trade unions in the U.S....

JD Vance, with his tight concentric circles of "love," is just the latest manifestation of this worldview.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

With today's passing of Alan Greenspan, the one thing you are obligated to do is watch this C-Span clip of Greenspan being utterly destroyed by Bernie Sanders, at a time when every other lawmaker was praising Greenspan as a hero as he created conditions for the financial crisis.

Chicago’s Haymarket Police Monument has been attacked and blown up so many times it was moved, rebuilt, then placed under 24 hour surveillance. Fascinating piece about the battle over Haymarket monuments, and what it says about the importance of public art https://t.co/wTZ00bKUJg
