They donāt listen to what Trump says because if they ever did, they would have to admit to what they are, and always were. Better to just pretend they canāt hear, forever.

I wonder how someone with so many advantages and so much privilege and such a comfortable seat at the table, still manages to feel oppressed, still imagines they are marginalized, still feels perpetually under siege by a world that has always favored them.

A court demanded restoration of >2,000 NIH grants Bhattacharya had terminated for arbitrary, capricious & discriminatory reasons, so he said he just won't renew them this year. If you sub "fair & decent" in for the term "DEI" that he objects to, it's clear he's neither.

Question: But the presidentās statements that he believed the election was rife with fraudāthose are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

The story was always already about an impoverished unmarried couple facing a pitiless bureaucracy, having a baby in a barn, and then having to hide from a tyrant. The baby grew up to say that the poor were blessed and the neighbor is he who shows mercy. You canāt hide from the politics of all that.
