He is no leader.

I’ve had this article open on my laptop since the day the latest C&RL newsletter hit my inbox. Surely, I thought, I am misunderstanding. Am I misunderstanding, I asked my wife. Bluesky now confirms I was not. Thesis: I should be able to discriminate against “the other” with impunity.

Thanks, Chronicle. More headlines like this, please.

If this isn't a constitutional crisis, please tell me why not? Trump is ignoring the Supreme court, he's ignoring court orders. Provide RECENT proof of life of Mr Garcia.

The lesson to draw from the fact that our current circumstance has been decades in the making is that we today are making the circumstances in which citizens of the future will live. Let’s actually fix some stuff instead of letting Trump and crew fuck it up worse.

My wife and I dug out our official marriage certificate — from literally 40 years ago — to show the folks who issue Real IDs that her adoption of my last name — literally 40 years ago — was legally done. Assume no good will from anybody. Believe me, Trump would love to take away my wife’s vote.

It’s like if Jafar from Aladdin bought his wardrobe at Bass Pro Shops.

Appreciate your energy, but asking us to be shocked by this assertion is pointless. Impeach him. Today. Yesterday.

Your faint headlines are deadly to education. Better: “Tracking Trump’s Violent Assaults on Education” and “The autocratic Trump regime uses classic tools of despotism to undermine and discredit the nation’s colleges.” Not kidding, Chronicle editors. Step up.

Rand could have spoken up when it mattered. Fuck him.

Rand Paul has had multiple opportunities to help get rid of Trump. Yet here we are.

Came here to say exactly this ⬆️. The very sight of Rand Paul makes me feel like I’m getting hives.

Same for the row of maiden grasses I unadvisedly installed along the entire north wall of my house 20 years ago. They raise gorgeous wavy plumes each summer, but the mat of roots the grasses have put down may push the house right off its slab.

Thanks! Did not know this. Ours grows like mad, and I do prune it, but I need to pay better attention to when and where.

Correct! This is not a media briefing. It’s taxpayer-subsidized advertising for despotism.

(1) This isn’t legal, so there I fixed it for them. (2) Trump and crew’s definition of legal is “whatever we can get away with.” Legality is always open ended for them. Always.

Precisely. This is what autocrats do.

Delusions of grandeur; belittling and hurling insults; expecting special treatment and recognition. Trump’s tweet displays classic juvenile tendencies inherent in Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He’s psychotic.
