the president raped children and his entire political party continues to actively cover it up
even if we can't throw him in jail for it he should resign in disgrace and so should all of them

Elise Stefanik is scrubbing photos of herself accepting awards from the vile Young Republicans caught in the Politico group chat. She supported every single one of them in New York State.

The WSJ rejected my comment urging Trump and Bondi not to be such wimps but to emulate the rock quarry at Mauthausen for criminal prisoners.

Biden Spared 37 Killers From Execution. Trump Ordered Up a Lifetime of Torment.
Even America’s harshest federal prison, where inmates spend 23 hours a day in solitary confinement, was too good, one official said. “I’ve got no problem with gruel.”

One of the biggest honors that has come my way in my career was being able to give the Margaret MacMillan Lecture at Trinity College, University of Toronto, on Wednesday night. I am grateful to Prof. MacMillan and everyone I met at Trinity, including the wonderful students.

I have made repeated calls to the offices of GOP New York Representatives Lawler and Stefanik, asking for their response to Trump wanting to use American soldiers to combat Americans who disagree with him. No response so far. Silence means support.

How many historians does it take to get the slide projector working? Jonathan Huener, Alan Steinweis, and I try to figure it out. I was giving at talk at the Miller Center, @uvmvermont.bsky.social. Had a fabulous time there.

Pres. Welsh knew LGBTQ studies were important and knew it was wrong to fire the instructor but caved and did it anyway. Great moments in groveling. Let Texas A&M know what you think of this fascism!
Update: The President of Texas A&M, the largest public university in the US, removed the Dean of the College and Chair of the English Dept just hours after coming under right-wing political pressure because a student recorded herself interrupting a lecture’s class that included topics on gender.

I observe a kind of anniversary today. 45 years ago a 14 year old version of me went to the public library and checked this out, because I had become a fan of John Coltrane, and read somewhere that he had recorded with some trumpet player . . .
