I confess to having a like/dislike relationship with Les Mis (because invariably start my French Revolution class thinking that 1789 is "about" Les Mis, etc.). BUT I TAKE IT ALL BACK. I will now say on the record that I love it and I love even more whoever planned this and made it happen. 🇫🇷🎶🗃️

I've been reading a lot of history for similar reasons: "I think about how impossible it must have felt to imagine that their influence would ever ebb. And I think about people...who, despite it feeling impossible, and despite paying incredible personal cost, kept fighting anyway. And they won."

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

Here's what Project 2025 says about accreditation of colleges & universities. What are our plans for that moment when federal financial aid becomes contingent on a college anywhere in the US being accredited by the Florida or Texas Department of Education and not by SACS or another accreditor?

I'm starting to think we need to be talking to local and state officials about having emergency foreclosure and eviction moratoriums ready to go. If (when) they move on the FDIC, I think we are looking at mass bankruptcy and a big residential property land grab by the oligarchs.
