there’s no amount of water carrying you can do for fascists to stop them from turning on you if you aren’t part of the core master race. MAGA’s not going to give Jonathan Greenblatt or Bari Weiss a pass when the time comes.

So just to recap, the Transportation Secretary is scared shitless of public transport. The Education Secretary is being sued for enabling child sex abuse. The Health Secretary is bringing back measles. And the Defense Secretary is texting classified war plans to the editor in chief of the Atlantic
That would be Secretary of Education Linda McMahon who's being sued for aiding and abetting systemic child molestation, just to be clear
Amended complaint has been filed in the ring boys sexual abuse lawsuit against WWE, TKO, Vince McMahon, and Linda McMahon. Three new plaintiffs have joined the original five, one of which accuses Pat Patterson of also participating in the abuse.

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien."
Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway.
This is Fascism.

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

Democrats won't like hearing this, but the response to the kidnapping and deportation of immigrants and pro-Palestinian activists has been very muted by many Democratic leaders until this week.
Why? Because they saw the polls & listened to consultants and thought it was bad politics to oppose it.

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

I absolutely think the key factor leading to this horror show has been total US failure to meaningfully prosecute white collar crime
Perhaps the biggest failing over the past 3 decades was the refusal to agressively prosecute white collar financial crime. Musk should be in jail for stock fraud is just the biggest example.

zionism is a repudiation of jewish values, in particular the belief that if we love our fellow as ourselves, and care for the widow, the orphan, the stranger, and the oppressed, that we will be blessed and worthy of redemption in this world and the next. zionism ultimately says love and trust no one
I want to say this from the heart:
Our issue is not with Judaism or Jewish people.
It’s with Zionism — a political ideology of oppression, not faith.
To my Jewish supporters who stood by me, donated, and showed compassion:
Thank you.
Your kindness means the world to me.
May God protect you all.❤️🩹❤️❤️❤️🫂

I think the correct thing is for state governments to pass legislation to seize federal employment taxes to make up the promised shortfall and put them directly to their own coffers.
