The idiots are in control of the asylum.

The fragility of local folks called out for their bad, hurtful politics. The jazz music you play came from slavery. Full stop. Your hypocrisy is stunning.
Without the contributions of Joe Oliver, Duke Ellington, and Louis Armstrong - you’d be a much less informed player.
Just gross. Be better.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Today in Jazz Methods we discussed jazz in the Civil Rights Era. Listened to Strange Fruit, Fables of Faubus, and Mississippi Goddam.
Felt good to share that music with my students in this climate.
I think a whole lot of “people” in the Trump administration should have been in the room.

And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.
