May all colleges and universities be supported by their cities, towns, and alumni. While not all schools are private and well-funded, all provide opportunities for greater knowledge and greater potential for economic success.

Thank you, Harvard University, for standing up for democracy by refusing Trump’s bid to take you over.

Courts holding the line are fantastic! Bernie Sanders and AOC doing meetings with people is phenomenal! Now could other powerful figures like the Clintons, Bush, Obama, Harris, and others join with Sanders and AOC and get a huge movement going we could join?

And you go on saying whatever doom you want. You say you’re a lawyer. Awesome. Maybe you are God or a psychic too? Logic. It must be logic, which people, Nature, and unintended consequences manage to put the lie to.

Possibly true, but not absolutely. I’ll keep resisting, thanks.

We don’t need your pretended β€œfeelings.” We need you to be our President, which you are incapable of.

Are you sure it’s whim? Could be dementia. Could be a deliberate destabilization tactic.

I didn’t vote for him, but I still feel awful about what he is doing and want to express my thankfulness for Canada.

I think what it takes is massive, constant, peaceful protests.

I am part of the United States. I did not vote for Trump. Who are you to judge me as evil?

So Musk has access to all of our info: DOB, SS#, bank account #(s): will
my FEMA flood insurance payment be worth anything? When I pay my Fed taxes, into whose pocket will that go?

What do I owe to a shredded gov that is trying to destroy me?

I wish he’d demanded to know instead of floating opinions. But more than that, I wish he’d had the basic human decency to offer condolences to the families of those who died.

He never said stay silent, so he’s not wrong. What haters hate is when they have absolutely no effect on our lives. They crave attention. We can fight first by maintaining our essential humanity, second by going about our resistance without public display, and third by avoiding haters’ bait.

Merlin likes to bite paper. I bring in the weekly grocery ads; Merlin clips his own coupons.
