After Declining to Give Trump a Sword for King Charles, a Museum Leader Is Out

Very Trump-era story.
1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum.
2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property!
3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property.
4. The person who did the right thing was fired.

100% true.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

Can Taylor please say “Release the Epstein files!” on the New Heights podcast?

Missouri’s attorney general is on a mission to make the workforce more white and male • Missouri Independent Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is on a crusade to make the workforce and higher education less diverse.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Sorry. This is very raw. But what’s happening in LA right now is absolutely horrific.

We absolutely must not forget what this administration did to Senator Padilla, because it tells us what they are willing to do to us.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

real bummer finding out that literally everything was on the honor system this whole time

Doechii Calls Out Trump’s “Ruthless Attacks” Amid L.A. Protests in BET Speech: “What Type of Government Is That?” "I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us," the "Alter Ego" rapper said Monday...

The #BETAwards are happening tonight a few miles from the L.A. protests. Doechii used her acceptance speech to say "I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us"

The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

Glad to see at least a handful of men there

Done! ✅

In the three years since Ron DeSantis set out to rid Florida’s universities of woke ideology, my campus changed significantly. Professors suddenly worried about what they could say and teach. Some started avoiding terms like “racism.” One student recently told me that when someone used “intersectional” in class, the instructor told her not to use that word.

One colleague told me that he stopped assigning an article about lynching and white evangelicalism for fear that those terms could raise red flags. Another said she was censoring her language not just in class and on campus but also on personal social media. Several professors have been subjected to efforts at entrapment. Last year a man posing as a student tried to encourage Muslim faculty members to criticize Mr. DeSantis and Israel. A similar incident happened to me. In October 2024 my department chair called me into his office to tell me that someone claiming to be a student in my Religion and Science class had complained that I spent 20 minutes talking about specific candidates, including who I was voting for and why. I was stunned. That never happened in that class or any other; it is antithetical to the way I teach. Fortunately

Brutal account of what it’s like to teach at the University of Florida right now in the NYT—extraordinary climate of fear. People afraid to say intersectional and talk about lynchings. Fake students trying to entrap Muslim faculty or just making things up altogether. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/07/o...

We should be grateful to the Lord to now be blessed with having an American on the world stage who embodies good and not evil.

Yes, let’s just ask Americans to wear a mask in public for a few months to keep old and immunocompromised people alive and see what happens

Is this bad? I'm no international shipping expert, but this sounds bad.

DAV statement on the proposal to rename Veterans Day: No.

When confronted by Trump, so many people and organizations look to polling for guidance, get paralyzed, talk in circles or just fold like a cheap suit. Disabled American Veterans, on the other hand, has taken the right approach. This is how you respond.

Reposting.

It’s already a win for Hegseth that the conversation is around if he should resign and not if he should be jailed.
