Anyone else looking forward to Kate McKinnon playing Bishop Budde on SNL at some point? She quotes Bible, fakeTrump responds "we're changing that part.." over and over. The skit practically writes itself.

Thought: I'm fine with federal employees "ducking their heads" right now to keep their jobs. As long as they're willing to pop back up when it matters. It helps no one for people of conscious to be removed from the administration in an early purge or mass exodus.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

I've been thinking about it. I think the mistake we made as a society is that since the 50s, we've taught WWII history from the point we entered the war. In reality, the real lesson in there is the history of how Hitler came to power and the German people didn't see it coming.

1/2 Stats: 165M workers supporting 330M US population. 8M working illegal immigrants. That's 5% of our entire workforce, at the lowest wages.

Raw unvarnished truth here.

2/2 Because it's going to get reeeeaaal interesting to see what happens when Elon gets his feelings hurt, and Trump find out what is like to get on the wrong side of a petty billionaire who bought his own social media platform just to get his feelings heard.

1/2 So here's what I'm thinking.. Can Trump really get along with someone whose ego is as big as his own?

New to Bluesky, obvs.. but let's get this party started.
