Republicans often talk like people who will never have to face re-election or in the least a fair and free election. Something we should all be talking about more.

Nope, liar. Mass deportation means everyone. You knew exactly what was meant by that.

HARVARD PROF David Armitage: “We’re being made an example of by Trump — authoritarians across the world go for the universities first, because they’re set up for freedom of thought and provide critical opposition.”

Universities are the enemy of illiberal regimes that need ignorant and stupid population to remain in power.

“…ability of one of the nation’s premier universities to attract the best and brightest students from all over the world. That capability, across all of academia, has long been one of the greatest sources of academic, economic and scientific strength in America.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

Here’s how Trump’s war on science is going. NSF funding is at the lowest level in decades. We’ll lose knowledge, generations of scientists, and US competitiveness. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

1/10 MAGA Republicans love to yell “Democrats run the worst states!” But let’s talk facts: The poorest, sickest, least educated states in America are GOP-led. They scream “freedom” while trapping people in poverty. Buckle up, we’re naming names.🧵 #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

The Republican Party is the single greatest threat to our national security and American democracy. Dems need to wake up and realize they are NOT co-workers. They are a criminal organization masquerading as a governing party.

wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/05/12/r... stories like this make me lose empathy for people who regret their Trump vote. This is evil, as evil as sending an innocent man to CECOT. No one from any foreign county should ever help us with our “national security” priorities. Our word is complete garbage.

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

India-Pakistan heating up; Israel bombing Yemen; further destroying Gaza and starving its people; Ukraine and Russia pounding each other; climate heating; measles outbreak; immigrants hiding; human rights activists abandoned; NATO fraying; weak govts; global economy teetering. Great 100 days, Trump.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Human rights issues are not cultural issues. Bodily autonomy, human rights; transgender identities, human rights; immigration rights, human rights; environmental justice, human rights; voting rights, human rights. A cultural issue: debating whether French or Italian food is better.

This, too, is realizing the leopard has eaten your face. Paul needs to sit down. He’s trying act like he’s a libertarian again, like he didn’t just support fascism for the better part of 10 years.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

In a new system of governance, the presidency should be abolished. It’s entirely unnecessary. Prove me wrong.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

What Schumer and Dems don’t understand and don’t have an appreciation for is media control. Control the media, control the majority of American minds. It’s a lesson right out of Orban’s playbook.
