Political theorist and activist. I'm a pragmatic radical who believes that supporting steps in the right direction is better than demanding huge leaps all at once. I mostly write about cooperatives and employee ownership. Also: dog and cat person.
Something that seems to have gotten lost is that just days before the attack on Iran, Netanyahu's government was in danger of collapsing.
The war isn't about Iran's nuclear program, it's about saving his job and avoiding trial for corruption.

Another of Musk's SpaceX Starships "experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly" and crashed. What a perfect metaphor for the federal government.

Literally attempting to erase history. This is what fascists do.
Erasing History? An elementary school in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, has librarians scrubbing for books that contain references to slavery, the civil rights movement, and anything else related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Quick question: Should we refer to it as the Trusk Administration, or the Mump Administration?
A question to ask any federal employee, esp. ICE or Border Patrol: "If POTUS gives you an order and a court rules it unconstitutional, and the President says to ignore the ruling, what do you do?" If they say, "Obey POTUS," remind them that they swear an oath to the Constitution, not the President.

The Trump administration's move to cap indirect cost allocations for grants to universities should be no surprise. Intellectuals are one of the first targets of any tyrant. Also, I'm sure the goal is to undermine higher education and to privatize research, especially biomedical research.

We may be slightly comforted by the fact that, thus far, Trump seems more interested in rewarding people who were loyal to him than actual governing. And we know that there is an inverse relationship between loyalty to Trump and competence.
