Look forward to future ethics dissertations / rabbinical-Jesuitical analyses, on relative moral weight:
- Those who devised/rationalized a cruel policy (Trump, Sessions, Miller, Nielsen, Sanders, etc); vs
- Those who *knew* they could stop it, and didn’t bother. (GOP Sen/House)

On Highway 99 between Merced and Fresno, a palm tree and cedar tree stand in the center median. Researchers think they were planted around the 1920s as a monument to the midline of California — the palm for the south, and the cedar the north.

2/2 And I realize that, in current context, this line from Carter’s 1977 human rights speech deserves particular emphasis.

Back in 1977 (when I was much younger than S Miller is now), I helped prepare presidential speech on why abiding awareness of human rights should be indispensable basis of US foreign policy.
Today US withdrew from UN Human Rights commission.

2/2 And to be clear, I’m talking about “first-hand experience” as a WH aide getting interviewed — and how, if a recorder is running and a session is on the record, you *have* to assume that the recording will eventually come out.

This is my practice as well.
It’s arguably diff when you’re interviewing a WH aide, in the WH, on the record.
Speaking from first-hand experience, that aide might rightly expect that anything said while on the record would be used. (I assumed so.) But NYT choice understandable twitter.com/harrymccracken…

Re-upping: a really interesting story from @BBCNews, and not at all the standard “we went to a diner in the Rustbelt and asked people with MAGA hats if they still liked Trump” account you’ve read a million times.

Wow. I went out with some of these crews, off Cebu, back in the 1980s, wrote about it then, and had thought this devastating practice was stopped long ago. Arrgh. twitter.com/photojournalis…

Misconceptions about Hawai’i lava flows are impacting tourism (and not just on the Big Island). Here’s an interesting graphic intended to help counteract that. pic.twitter.com/9W0VXwpu2k

Language historically associated with de-humanization, from the head of govt, actually deserves note — in the context (which I and others have fully engaged in) of policy outrages that need to be opposed and reversed.

2/2 Of the 125,000+ words in ‘Our Towns,’ exactly two are “infest.” One refers to roaches that ate up a school’s garden; another, to an invasive plant now choking the surface of Caddo Lake, TX-LA.
Applying it to people is an undeniable tell, like “shiftless.”
