This is about UK universities but the parallels to US universities are very clear. And in the US, our Land Grant university model breaks the ivory tower barriers down even more, through Cooperative Extension (funded by USDA) and USGS climate science centers.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

These are not law and order. There will come a time when these men will have to account for their actions. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #MomSky

oh yes by all means please throw more gasoline on the six-alarm fire that used to be our Constitution www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...

To justify Kilmar Abrego Garcia being illegally sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador, MAGA lunatics are lying about Jan 6 terrorists not having due process. Jan 6ers seditiously stormed the US Capitol and still had trials, lawyers, appeals and a criminal pardoned them.

@leximcmenamin.com: The US government is so hostile to immigrants + those sympathetic to Palestine that they’re deporting them + snatching them off campuses. But the real threat to college campuses are radicalized white men w/access to guns like the FSU shooter. www.teenvogue.com/story/fsu-sh...

🤣🤣🤣 YES!! This is how you get at them!

When I posted recently that “people” don’t feel sorry for Feds, you insisted I was wrong and people value us. I know that many of you on here do, but my personal experiences out in the “real world” are mixed. Please talk to people out there about why we matter. We serve you. Emphasis on serve.

Making America a pariah is bad for the economy? 🙄🙄🙄

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

Authoritarianism

To everyone who told me to “calm down” in 2016 - The sociopathic sexual predator business fraud felon you put back in the office he tried to steal just stood in the White House & said that he wants to send American citizens to concentration camps in El Salvador. So, fuck you.

Exactly. Trump and Miller want to make El Salvador their Generalgouvernement, and Bukele is stepping up to be their Hans Frank.

when it finally ends, we must have a Truth and Reconciliation process. Something that has been notably absent in our past

How does one man that leads a country wake up every today with 2 thoughts: “How can I burn the country AND make a profit at the same time”. ONly one man thinks this way every god damn day and you all know who he is

Today this is happening in our country, right now

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Correct.

"When the range of factors that can get a person arrested stretches from political speech to a paperwork error, we are in territory described by the Russian saying, “Give us a person and we’ll find the infraction.”

Every blanket is a weighted blanket if your cats are chonky enough

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

#fiscallyStupidDOGE #FiscallyStupidtRUMP #FiscallyStupidMorallyWrong For every $1 the government spends on family planning services, it SAVES $7 & that's NOT counting the cost to society of unwanted, unplanned pregnancies #MomSky #NoTaxationWithoutRepresentation jessica.substack.com/p/title-x-fu...

With these words, Democrats sue Trump & his admin for an EO requiring Americans to show proof of citizenship (which can be tough & expensive for some people) before they can register to vote. There is no evidence of significant fraud. This is an outright effort to suppress Democratic votes.

Why Elon Musk is so invested, literally, in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election Victory in this crucial swing state would be wind beneath Musk’s wings. Defeat would be seen as a humiliating setback.

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

🚨BREAKING: The Democratic Party is suing President Donald Trump over his sweeping executive order last week that attempted to wrest control of elections from the states. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If you think Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race doesn’t affect you just because you don’t live there—think again. If Musk pulls this off, it’s one step closer to him buying an election near you. Got friends, family, or even followers in Wisconsin? Tell them to get out and vote the right way. 📢

It’s infuriating to hear a silver-spooned billionaire whine about losing money from boycotts to his company after the havoc he’s wreaked on citizens who struggle to make ends meet. Crazy thing is poor MAGAs feel sorry for him. No sympathy for that devil. Honk honk. Thank you, protesters. #MomSky
