The demolished East Wing is a monument to this regime's destruction of our system of checks and balances, and the process of democratic governance.

It's not hyperbole to say that the United States doing this to its own citizens is Nazi-like.
"They disappeared her." This story from @timdickinson.bsky.social is so upsetting. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The absence of mourning is not equal to the presence of celebration, and it’s strange how many people have conflated the two over the last day.

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like.
And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.
