Honestly, the incompetence is mind numbing.

This is simply despicable. But alas, not surprising from this incompetent administration.

I loathe this cosplaying asshat. Also, WWII pilots would like a word.

I hope that Ellen Weinberg-Hughes sat her sons down and told them what fucking tools they looked like in that locker room. I also hope that she convinces them NOT to attend the SOTU. US Men's Hockey is an embarrassment to this country. Congratulations to the US Women's Team and to Team Canada.

Damn that pesky 4th amendment anyway....

The 4th amendment is just a suggestion Kevin. Haven’t you heard?

Connecting the dots....

“Agents are at my door right now”

In addition to Don Lemon the Trump regime also Arrested Georgia Fort👇🏽 for covering the church protest (where an ICE field director is a pastor)

I'm with you Manisha. I am so angry with the Dems right now, especially Schumer. He needs to resign already.

This is what letting RFK jr go wild on health looks like

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Essentially, the syllabus for my Civil Rights Movement in America course this semester is "stay tuned," "lets see what BS happens this week," "we'll address the lies coming from the administration today," coupled with lots of deep breathing and meditation.

To those saying the DHS statement about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis completely contradicts what the video shows, I invite you to remember that January 6th was also caught on video and broadcast live across the nation—and we all know how that worked out.

Friends, I hope you’ll share this widely. The @jcblibrary.bsky.social is hiring 2 3-yr research associates for collaborative work on religions and freedoms in the early Americas. Info is here and I’m happy to take questions offline: brown.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/staff-...

Let’s recap. Trump demands for months the people in the house turn over the loot. They refuse. He kidnaps the head of the household. He announces his plan to rob the household. 1/2

Same. Sigh.
Happy New Year friend.

Fun and exhausting

I was also hired in 2007. We had two hires after me and merged 2 from Geography. We have had 4 retirements. No new lines. The powers that be will slowly allow our department to die. And they don’t care because history schmistory.

Wow.
Just wow.
I’m out.

Might as well have shown up in white robes. This is disgusting.

There has been no debate here among constitutional scholars, historians, political scientists, anyone with a pulse really.

Any telling you that this very straightforward point, one that has been universally accepted for a century and a half, is now an "abstruse" issue is just a liar and a hack.

We are entering very dark times in the academy if we allow this to continue.
