Trump is escalating his war against American higher education and against the rest of the world. We will be the worse for this.

Why? Because ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-i-told-the-ed-school-graduates
Trump’s Biggest “Fuck You” Yet to Higher Education and the Rest of the World
He and his regime are mounting an assault on the American mind. Why? Because ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner last night said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations.

Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets.

It's all out in the open.

Clearly, they’re right.

This is highly concerning

Pam Bondi is not the President’s personal lawyer and DOJ is not a cudgel to target whoever the President doesn’t like.

This is a democracy and We The People will not let this President trample over our constitution.

I’m not afraid of Donald Trump and you shouldn’t be either.
Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

It's very reasonable for normal, upstanding Americans to make clear that they won't stand for unAmerican trash like JD Vance. Everyone has their limits.
🚨 BREAKING: After torpedoing yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky, JD Vance fled to Vermont for vacation—only to be met by hundreds of furious protesters.

Couldn’t have happened to a better guy!

This is excellent.
