How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

“As Trump doubles down—and he will—his downward spiral will accelerate, which is why reporters cannot let him off the hook when he lies and obfuscates and tries to change the subject...every opponent must...speak out and refuse to let him control the narrative.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...
We Can't Let The Abuser-In-Chief Control the Narrative
We the people and fearless journalists must stand together. That includes confronting Trump's Epstein denials and the continuing lies of election fraud that he's shaping for the midterms.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Tenure Eliminated at Oklahoma Colleges
Regional and community colleges professors will no longer receive tenure; research university faculty are spared, with some exceptions.

Thank goodness.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Every administration, every faculty senate, every board of trustees who forced their institutions to bend the knee over this shit should immediately be fired.

Their presence dishonors the profession and the institutions they supposedly serve.
