I plan for the military for a living. This is unacceptable. We have crossed a bright moral line.

We are shocked at the level of rancor in America, say the very same voters who elected a man whose entire political success is based on dividing us into into bitterly opposed camps. We are a profoundly lost (and dumb) nation.

This. 👇🏼 It’s possible to condemn the crime but not grieve the victim. His rhetoric got him murdered (unless it was a political hit) and quite possibly influenced previous right wing mass shooters. Sounds like I’m blaming the victim here. Geez. I think I am. No guns, Charlie, and you’d be here.
The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.
And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.
I refuse to sanitize him.

💯 M Gessen, my go-to on authoritarianism, had a brilliant response to this when asked about Trump's clain that some people feel more secure. They saud: 1 do not engage his lies 2. Who cares? This is not how we make good policy
“Stephen Miller unleashed a long, crazed, angry, shrill rant. It was classic authoritarian agitprop, best seen as an expression of weakness. Poll after poll has shown that the public is rebelling. Maybe that’s why Miller is panicking. The question is: Why won’t Democrats act like it?”
Toxic feedback loop has kicked in: Trump's propagandists tell credulous reporters that occupying cities is good politics for him. Media echoes this as self-evidently true. That reinforces Dem instincts not to engage.

If troops are in the streets beating citizens, this isn’t normal.
We must hit them where it hurts—in the wallet.
Start a nationwide work stoppage. Stop showing up, stop paying taxes, stop compliance.
If business-as-usual continues, we are complicit.
This is our power—use it.

So, yeah, this Lindsey Graham post about Trump becoming the next pope is real.

I was excited to hear that President Trump is open to the idea of being the next Pope. This would truly be a dark horse candidate, but I would ask the papal conclave and Catholic faithful to keep an open mind about this possibility!
The first Pope-U.S. President combination has many upsides.
Watching for white smoke.... Trump MMXXVIII!

So sad. My alma mater now capitulates. Michigan has so often been on the right side of history.
New story from me: Imani* was in class when she discovered a scholarship program she relied on had been shut down.
“I don’t come from wealth ... Ending the program puts a burden on individuals who don't have it like most of the wealthy people here at the University of Michigan"
“I don’t come from wealth ... Ending the program puts a burden on individuals who don't have it like most of the wealthy people here at the University of Michigan"
A scholarship program helped boost diversity at U of M. Trump’s DEI crackdown just killed it.
The University of Michigan Alumni Association has ended the LEAD Scholars program, a merit-based scholarship that worked to improve enrollment for minority students.
