hindsight is 20/20 but maybe selecting university presidents on their willingness to debase themselves for private donor money is related to the current difficulties in defending academia from fascism

Just spitballing here, but maybe in the land of the free we shouldn't have a pedophilic ruling elite class, police who kidnap people off the street, and concentration camps?

Hey folks!
Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

Sometimes book dealing presents something of personal interest, like this lovely "A Boy, A Dog, and A Frog" collection by Mercer Mayer.

Trump never had a whole lotta love for journalists, but since they started singing an immigrant song, he’s wanted to deport them over the hills and far away to Kashmir or D’yer Maker. Better than Kristi Noem, who wants to shoot them like a black dog.

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:
1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens
2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar
3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

To say aloud that the vice president is friends with Nazis and to point out that his Holocaust tweet is crafted so as not to offend them is to sound crazy to everyone who doesn’t know both are stone cold facts. Frustrating thing.
Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

Just a reminder that both Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost have been attacked this week.
No outrage by right-wing media or even corporate media.
Now imagine if this were done to Republicans.
The entire system is rigged in favor of conservatives, folks. The double standards are just wild.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:
So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

The co-founder of Latinas for Trump is now condemning Trump’s ICE raids:
“I’m afraid of someone stopping my son.”
“This is not what we voted for.”

Unfortunately Democrats only know how to give cops more money, technology, and staffing. They only have one button to press and they’re making a very concerned face as they press it

they've been targeting increasingly smaller cities and still failing every time, which is a phenomenal sign
they went to LA and failed
they went to Chicago and failed
they went to Portland and failed
they went to Minneapolis and failed

Schumer and Jeffries are collaborators of the Republicans. They work together to push fascism as token resistance. Primary and replace.
Only if @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social had this kind of instinct (or Nancy Pelosi had operated with the same sense of urgency after J6 - instead of wasting an entire weekend to move).
