For my fellow Business majors out there. Businesses thrive on stability and predictability and market innovations. 📈

Chaos and uncertainty is bad for business. 📉

But also Business majors are known to skip ethics for profit. Hopefully you learned gov’t is a service, not for profit. 🙄

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week.

Don’t let him.

Trump's handling of this situation should be treated as one of the biggest scandals in presidential history. There is blood on his hands.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

The same people having a temper tantrum over DEI just confirmed the least qualified Secretary of Defense in US history because Trump liked him on TV.

Andy Ogles just introduced a constitutional amendment to allow Donald Trump a third term.

I think someone will have some thoughts about that.

As a parent of an autistic child, yeah, they mess up a LOT. They say and do awkward, hurtful, and rude things all the time. But you know what? They feel EXTREME remorse at learning they’ve hurt someone by their actions.

Donald Trump is trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico to distract you from the fact that he can’t lower egg prices, pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists, and rolled back policies that reduced prescription drug costs.

Don’t let him.

These insurrectionists are free and gleeful about buying guns. We’ve already seen how these people try to make their own justice right here in Tempe.
I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

Chatting with a colleague, we were reminded that turnout was only ~63%. Less than half of those voted for Trump. That is NOT a majority and there is no mandate!

Continue building coalitions with those harmed by an oligarchy and hit them where it hurts: their bottom line.

And I still hear Dems insist it’s not about the messaging. While trying to have wonkish policy conversation to win elections. 🙄
Remember, despite everything, the Democratic party still absolutely refuses to build its own culture or social media ecosystem. Because they wouldn’t be able to control the messaging. So we will keep losing. Thank you, our intellectual and strategical betters! (as determined by them!)

Trump set the TikTok ban in motion

Congress passed legislation

Biden signs legislation

SCOTUS upholds ban

Biden says his administration wouldn’t enforce the law, leaving room for TikTok to stay open

TikTok shuts down anyway

Trump tweets

TikTok pretends Trump saved it 🙄

What if we built a nationwide coalition of progressive businesses to support pro-democracy initiatives? Fight capitalism with a conscience. Where are we all shopping now because it’s HARD to keep up when you’re a busy working mom!

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment
