You should be mad about the FBI raiding John Bolton’s house not because you love John Bolton but because you’re opposed to Trump using the FBI to intimidate his critics

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

People who say the U.S. has never had gulags or programs are, once again, erasing Black people from American history.

The headline doesn't do the article justice. Trump's admin is arguing that anything like Black Student Associations, Black History Month events, programs to retain minorities, etc are illegal and worthy of defunding the school. www.insidehighered.com/news/diversi...

Recent PhDs! Here's an excellent postdoc opportunity in a super cool city with some pretty awesome colleagues. krieger.jhu.edu/chloe/2025/0...

Absolutely batshit you can watch on live TV a rotting whale eating, bear corpse vandalizing, brainworm eaten, anti-science sex pest who drove an ex wife to suicide & looks exactly like corrupted Leland Palmer from Twin Peaks & sounds like Megatron auditioning to be head of America’s healthcare.

We are a failed state…

The Air Force is stripping Tuskegee Airmen lessons from basic training curriculum because of our White supremacist government. Put that in a headline. www.expressnews.com/news/article...

Yes, the women in the military is an important issue. But let’s not gloss over why he is being nominated; because he is willing to use the military against Trump’s domestic enemies. He will do what Trump tells him to.
