This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

The only silver lining of a potential JD Vance presidency is that he is so thoroughly uncharismatic and unlikable - even among R voters – that his war crimes would land him in jail in no time
This guy within a year or so will be in charge of America's 5,500 nuclear weapons and he wants everyone to know he likes killing people and does not care about international law.

A non-trivial faction of his base is isolationist. Hopefully they can form a coalition with another non-trivial faction of his base that’s anti-sexual predator.

Good on Florida Memorial. Makes me sad that #FIU rolled over ( #PawsUp) without a fight when Jeanette Nunez was appointed president last year.
#Florida Memorial University announced its new president, but about half of the college’s Board of Trustees said the vote to appoint him was done illegally.
