Margaret Susan (Peggy) Thompson

He was my senator back in the day!

My thoughts exactly.

It's a good read!

There were 8-10,000 in Syracuse. People came and went, but there were at least 8000 there as more were still arriving. Great energy, no problems, and hugely empowering. Joined by local officials including our state senator and member of Congress. Woo-hoo!

That’s four years more than the current Secretary of the Navy.

Noem would never have qualified for AP *anything*.

Welcome to my world. Just got a hapless grade appeal addressed to "Miss," and another addressed to "Margie" (a nickname I've never used). "Mrs." is also unwelcome, as I use my original surname. I tell those who use it: "'Mrs. Thompson' was my mother, and she also preferred 'Professor'."

This is clearly a violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause (Art. I, Section 9, Clause 8). In other words, it is *unconstitutional*!
"no Person holding any Office [shall] accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

'Cuse: We have an alum who was president.
'Nova: Hold my beer.

Thank you! I've been saying the same.

Still not sure what a conclave is? Syracuse University asked me to explain.

Thank you for posting! I'm sharing it and subscribing to Lowery's newsletter. What a fascinating read. Now I need to get out my "Gatsby"--which I used to teach in a Politics through Fiction class. Would that I could do it again.

One of the most fascinating essays I've read in awhile. SO glad I happened upon it!

So, should I play this at the start of my White Nationalism/Right Populism in Modern America Honors seminar on Thursday? #IYKYK

Three postcards ready to mail to POTUS today.

. @schumer.senate.gov needs to go. He's capitulating in a way unworthy of a Dem. party leader in a time of crisis. Enough! There are too many strong leadership possibilities (Murphy? Duckworth?); times are too dire!! I say this as a New Yorker and former @apsa.bsky.social Congressional Fellow!

Wałęsa condemns Trump treatment of Zelensky, likening it to communist interrogation

Polish Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Wałęsa and 38 other former political prisoners of Poland's communist regime have condemned Donald Trump's treatment of Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, which they said reminded them of communist interrogation techniques

We are nearing a precipice.

This is how fascism works.

Rhodes Scholar....

I’ve heard plenty of homilies about Dorothy. My parish has an annual dinner to honor her and give an award to social justice advocates.

When I saw their response, I was appalled. No words.

I believe that Sister Theresa Kane, RSM, is looking down with love, approval, and support upon Bishop Marianne Edgar Budde!

In my @syracuseu.bsky.social honors class (White Nationalism/Right Populism) today, we discussed both the inaugural and the first half of @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social's "Strongmen." Students remarked repeatedly on the parallels. SUCH a good discussion!

Thanks. I will watch. I also taught P25 in my honors seminar (on the Election) at Syracuse last fall -- it is so important to understand.
