Should @profgalloway.com run for president? This is a ticket that might actually shake things up — with @karaswisher.bsky.social as VP, of course.

Has Musk apologized yet for his Hitler-loving AI?
I can’t see it if he has.
Have Republican and Democratic Party leaders alike demanded an apology from him and an investigation into how it happened?
Or is antisemitism just a cudgel used to attack supporters of Palestinians?

Some of the most prestigious universities in the country have formed a private collective to counter the Trump administration’s attacks on research funding and academic independence.
The group’s aim is to avoid the fate of some top law firms, where one deal led to others following suit.

Lawyers who fail to stand up for other lawyers who are being targeted by the Trumpers are being very bad lawyers, in addition to being cowards. The Trump Regime is attacking the rule of law; and without the rule of law, there will not be much of a need for lawyers.
