Yesterday's piece from @jamellebouie.net is the only high-profile piece I've seen that specifically discusses the watchlist, its effect on academics, and its effect on public attitudes toward academia as a whole. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/o...

Randy Fine. The ultimate ghoul.

This post is unhinged. It’s time to talk about a wellness check and the 25th Amendment. If the former president posted this about Trump, the right would show up to the White House with pitchforks demanding it.

There's always a tweet.

"In the 24 hours after Harvard President Alan M. Garber ’76 announced that he would not comply with the White House, the University received more than 3,800 online donations totaling more than $1 million" www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Call your rep, call your senators. No matter the party.

We are at the stage in the post-truth world where plans to bomb another country are no longer "classified."

Go Tim.

Shameful. The crooks are in charge.

@nytimes.com @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @nbcnews.com @wsj.com @cnn.com How about news coverage of this illegal action.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

An amazing and surprising talk by conservative David Brooks youtube.com/watch?v=QSa5...

This is treason. Trump and Hegseth are committing treason. therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

Sooooo…

Canadian artists are boycotting the important @sxsw.com musical festival in Texas.This is an unprecedented show of force by Canadian artists. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Canada was going to be taught a lesson. Greg consider this a teaching moment: your state is an enemy of democracy and arts.

(First post didn’t take) Flood the [email protected] email with YOUR list of 5 accomplishments! Here are mine: 1. Word and thanked a certain governor of Maine for standing up to the petty and vindictive FOTUS. 2. Donated to people and org furiously trying to save our country.

Pt 2 3. Share Sen Whitehouse’s speech about how this admin is shutting down our intelligence community and opening the door wider to Russia 4. Laughed at the ketamine idiot waving a chainsaw to his cronies. 5. Applauded J Carville on Hannity/Fox call out the hypocrisy. We should flood the mailbox!

Here’s a fun Sunday action: write to [email protected] and report YOUR 5 accomplishments of the week. Here’s mine: 1. Wrote to thank the governor of Maine for standing up to the petty, petulant FOTUS. 2. Gave donations to a number of IRC’s and politicians trying to save our country

Trump schedule this week: Sunday - attend car race. Monday - golf. Tuesday - golf. Wednesday- golf.

This is fascism.

When Trump took office, the NLRB had 24 separate investigations into Musk’s corporations for violating workers’ rights. But presto...Trump fired three officials at that agency, effectively stalling the board's ability to rule on cases. See how this works?

Increasingly, America’s rich and powerful—like Trump and Musk—use defamation suits not to win but to inflict ruinous expense and suffering on the defendants and solicit attention, support, and fundraising for themselves. This is a grave threat to free speech. @kenwhite.bsky.social

This is like a bank robber getting to fire the cops and disable the alarms just before he strolls into the bank lobby.

The best thing I have seen so far: “If you immediately started calling the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America" because someone told you it was it's new name, YOU ARE VERY CAPABLE OF RESPECTING TRANS PEOPLE'S NAMES & PRONOUNS.”

Without the VPN ....

Can they get any more stupid? Or self serving?

Commentary: With its focus almost entirely beyond our shores, USAID has no obvious constituency to defend it here at home. But make no mistake. This is an illegal assault on an independent agency, and it will hurt American national security.

Last night I downloaded my social security info (verification letter, earnings history),emailed my bank requesting immediate response how they are protecting my data from the largest data leak in history. Will freeze my credit cards.Today there’s a rally at Federal Courthouse.Daily action, people.

This is important because the banking Lobby is huge and if they believe that enough of us are going to start pulling money out of banks because of Doge , they're going to start putting pressure on the Republican Party.

Keep calling. Every day. And show up to any and all demonstrations.

@barackobama1961.bsky.social How about being more outspoken and agressive about how the republicans are assaulting our democracy. Stand up, man, and make some noise!!!!!

Joe Kent, the guy Trump is nominating to lead his counterterrorism division, employed Proud Boys and Patriot Front members, met with Nick Fuentes and sat down with a neo-Nazi YouTuber for an interview.

Trump used the last four years to turn the GOP into an anti-democratic war machine. And he is not done wreaking havoc. That is the stark reality we face. If we truly care about the future of free and fair elections, we must take the threat Trump poses to our elections literally and seriously.

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?

BREAKING: 2 federal employee unions, AFGE & SEIU, file suit seeking to block DOGE access to Treasury Department payment database. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You don’t need to share your own phone number on Signal with me to reach me—you can create a username, which you can delete anytime. More info here:

Shouldn’t an industrious attorney be gathering current and former federal employees to file a class action lawsuit against Treasury Secretary Bessent and DOGE Head Elon Musk for facilitating a data breach in which all of their personal information was compromised? Seems like a slam dunk.

Incredible. Thank You!
