Trump did not campaign on illegally firing a quarter of the federal workforce, making the richest man in the world his grand vizier, or allying with Putin. Regular people should not have expected this, and they are right to be angry. Nobody has any business shaming them for it.

So far in the last 24 hours, Russia's gotten: - a sympathetic ear/voice installed as DNI - the release of a crime boss - Hegseth ceding Crimea to them - Trump offering a WH visit - The US acting as middleman rather than Ukraine ally

With the NIH cuts, there’s no longer any excuse for any professor, in any discipline, to not address the moment in their classes. You don’t even have to be “political” if that’s how you roll; this changes everything. You need only observe reality. 1/
