Like I said a few times before, it was NEVER about campus protests or anti-semitism. It was always about seizing control of higher education through govt blackmail and coercion.

"This is what we were voting for!" From a friend in academia: >>I was with a public health professor from [major university] last weekend and he said that NIH is now euthanizing whole cohorts of animals from animal studies because there is nobody around to feed them<< Great work.

Trump gave Ed Martin a top DOJ role after GOP senators blocked his nomination for D.C. U.S. attorney. Experts say he’s using his new position to target political opponents and cast doubt on future elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Good to hear AI will help me reduce my carbon footprint, as I've been running my microwave for 19 hours a day for the last three years and have yet to receive a single video of a dog speaking Spanish.

This reminds me of the way the KKK got people who were culturally Catholic to join in the 1920s—the idea is that raising the salience of a certain characteristic turns it into a "which side are you on?" challenge. So voting for Trump as a minority is a way of saying you're one of the good ones

The monster state continues its assault on the rule of laew as the world watches. Targeting hospitals and medical facilities are crimes of war. We need to document, take names and hold the perpetrators responsible. Canada must move to full boycott and cut off all trade with Israel.

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

So a TV reporter pens a Trash-Biden book, the media lavishes maximum attention on the author & now we learn incidents he describes are either not true or grossly distorted. We see clearly who Jake Tapper is, and he’s not one of the good guys.

Conservatives' view of "masculinity" is so profoundly weird, vain, and self-serving. Every time they talk about manliness, it's at best a list of easy-to-do performative nonsense like this, or more usually a litany of hostile and immature traits. What a pathetic way to define yourself.

A new Florida law sharply limits citizen-led ballot initiatives, threatening fines and criminal charges for petition organizers. Advocates say it’s an effort to silence voters after progressive wins at the ballot box. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/gop...

Trump promised to end the war in 24 hours, has threatened Russia with additional sanctions 4 times in 4 months, has done nothing, Russia continues to bomb civilians indiscriminately, Trump refuses to condemn Putin for any of it, and only has harsh words for Zelensky and Biden.

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.
