He's the leader of the free world. Not Trump or the United States. Trump failed his exam long ago.

I am a staunch free speech supporter. But after ten years of freaking out about woke students deplatforming right-wing speakers, I don't have the energy to pivot to criticizing a fascist president for launching an all-out attack on free expression at universities.

See, if you agree to take the bribe somewhere other than on White House grounds, it’s not a bribe.

No one signed up for this No one signed up for cutting science research, killing public education, deporting students, waging war on law firms & colleges, rounding up immigrants in the midst of their citizenship proceedings, suspending habeas corpus NO ONE SIGNED UP FOR THIS NOT EVEN THE CRAZIES

All NSF GRFPs to students choosing to attend Harvard in the Fall were just terminated

I so wish I could disagree with this, but it’s not possible. There is no going back. And unless we want to continue to live under an authoritarian kleptocracy, we’d better figure out how to fight on the terms the times require.

This man is a miserable piece of shit, and everyone who works to further his authoritarian purposes is a miserable piece of shit.

Since the NBA and WNBA are now here I want to use the brief time when I have more followers than they do to present this post by former NBA shooting guard Vernon Maxwell as my first and last act as the home for Bluesky basketball coverage

@jvl.bsky.social gets it right here. America’s election of Trump was an historically unprecedented act of national seppuku (but with none of the honor or dignity), and the world — long contemptuous of our arrogant immaturity — sees an opportunity to move on without us. It is, and it should.

This isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.
