"Hace años, un estudiante le preguntó a la antropóloga Margaret Mead cuál consideraba ella que era el primer signo de civilización en una cultura. El estudiante esperaba que Mead hablara de anzuelos, ollas de barro o piedras de moler.
Pero no. Mead dijo que el primer signo de civilización en una cultura antigua era un fémur que se había roto y luego sanado. Mead explicó que en el reino animal, si te rompes una pierna, mueres. No puedes huir del peligro, ir al río a tomar algo o buscar comida. Eres carne de bestias que merodean. Ningún animal sobrevive a una pierna rota el tiempo suficiente para que el hueso sane.
Un fémur roto que se ha curado es evidencia de que alguien se ha tomado el tiempo para quedarse con el que se cayó, ha vendado la herida, le ha llevado a un lugar seguro y le ha ayudado a recuperarse. Mead dijo que ayudar a alguien más en las dificultades es el punto donde comienza la civilización". (Ira Byock)

More homes, more buses, more booze. Not the worst mayoral agenda.
Fritz Hahn@fritzhahn
DC's mayor has announced the DC Hospitality Amendment Act of 2026. If passed, it would allow: • BIDs to sell alcohol in DC-controlled public spaces, ie Franklin Park • Breweries to open brewpubs • Distillers to collaborate on spirits (1/x)

@FordJohnathan5 @objkshn This can’t be a surprise, can it? They’ve always wanted low turnout
English
🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Its appears Speaker Mike Johnson caught on hot mic that The Save Act would result in 12% to 18% voter turnout. Saying that would be huge for the Republican Party. The Save Act is a voter suppression bill. Not elections security.🚨

Tomorrow marks three weeks of the U.S.-Israel war with Iran >>>
Karoline Leavitt@PressSec
Since Day One of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump clearly outlined the U.S. Military’s objectives to end the threat of the Iranian terrorist regime. The President and the Pentagon predicted it would take approximately 4-6 weeks to achieve this mission. Tomorrow marks week 3 - and the U.S. Armed Forces are doing an exceptional job. Day by day, the Iranian Regime is being crippled, and their ability to threaten the United States and our allies is being significantly weakened. As always, President Trump is laser focused on one thing: total and complete VICTORY.

Only 84 senators showed up for today’s (failed) vote.

@bresreports @meredithllee Anybody writing anything comparing surveillance practice by Nixon, which the original FISA was a reaction to, with what Trump wants to do?
English
New: House GOP leaders have postponed a vote on reauthorizing FISA until mid-April, just before the program expires.
Republicans faced opposition on their own side & dwindling Democratic support.

@brendenmoore13 @reesetheone1 Great story! Also: be sure to check out Ella Fitzgerald’s cover of “Can’t But Me Love”

@Twolfrecovery The point of the SAVE Act is to never have universal healthcare. Having both will never be an option

Veteran homelessness has dropped 55% since 2010 thanks largely to Housing First. Now advocates warn a new federal policy could reverse that progress by pushing veterans into court-ordered guardianship or institutions.

@reesetheone1 Right. On another topic, Crystal Ball lists five Senate seats, now R, as “likely R” (but not “safe R”) in this year’s election (IA TX MT NE FL). Of those, where would a D win be least surprising?

Grits are nasty.
Corn clay.
Terrible breakfast food.

Operator, oh, let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Ah, you've been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime

@reesetheone1 Is that a real picture? I’d be shocked if she actually wanted to do it
English
She’s not crazy enough to do so.
If she was, I WOULD BE INSUFFERABLE ON THIS APP.
ULTIMATE CHICAGO BRAGGING RIGHTS if she ran and won.
