Like Oklahoma today protected Trump's spiritual advisor Robert Morris by only giving him 6 mo. of 10 year sentence for pedophilia & his church says the child was consenting. Bullsh1t. Children don't consent to abuse.
Republicans do not protect children-at all.

Universities, which are defined by academic independence yet depend on government support, are extremely vulnerable to government bullying. Harvard’s decision suggests that some, at least, have a limit to how far they’re willing to be pushed.
Why Harvard Decided to Challenge Donald Trump
Universities are accustomed to acquiescing to the government, but Trump made Harvard an offer it couldn’t not refuse.

I am saddened and deeply disturbed to learn about the arson attack on @governor.pa.gov's residence in Harrisburg.

I am praying for him and for his family's safety, and I am grateful to the law enforcement and first responders who acted quickly to bring them to safety.

I’ve taught 20 yrs of students Constitutional rights like due process & equal protection. Now, I’d be lying to them to say these laws, literally written into our Constitution, are followed. These basic rights prohibit shipping people off with no due process. All Americans should be outraged.

White Supremacist are obsessed with [white] birthrates because they believe The Great Replacement Theory (a fear that black/brown/Muslim people will produce more babies that will replace white Christians).

Tucker Carlson believes this, Elon Musk believes it, and so did Adolf Hitler.

Pathetically needy Donald has replaced President Obama's portrait with a tacky fan-produced painting of the time Trump faked taking a bullet to the ear.

Not only does this show how thirsty Donald is, it also shows how inept his administration is. The new pic doesn't line up with the molding.

“We must win elections. The American people deserve tough, smart, ferocious advocates who can’t get played by Donald Trump. They must see around corners, and feel when a predator and his gang are surrounding them intuitively.”

Republicans know their agenda is unpopular with the American people.

It would decimate health care and Social Security for so many people.

And they're doing all of this to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.

Can you keep calling a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" unscheduled when it happens every time?

And why was Elon allowed to make a new launch before an investigation of the last failed launch? Oh, that's right, Elon is in charge of investigating himself now. And firing anyone who says otherwise.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
