So I'm doing this great new podcast w/@democracyprof.bsky.social. He's a brilliant and ethical Constitutional scholar; I'm there for balance. Please listen, subscribe and review.

It's very good, even though he refuses to let us call it "Barely Legal."

Milwaukee-area woman deported to Laos though she's never been there, doesn't speak the language As Donald Trump pushes the mass deportation of immigrants, Yang believes she is one of the first Hmong Americans to be deported to Laos recently.

South Milwaukee woman deported to Laos is stranded with few options.

The babies have such an easy life.

And sadly so many of those farmers voted for him- coming from someone who lives in the CV!

I'm not sure how many Fulbright Scholars this applies to. But some subset of them were just informed that their next monthly stipend check will only cover 1 week. "partial stipend equivalent". Yeah, obviously not a big populist issue. But still. Destruction for its own sake.

Omg! Same! Although George hasn't been too bad🤷🏻‍♀️

Looking beautiful Time Square. 🇺🇦

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

This is horrifying to watch, for the world, our family and the Ukrainians. I have never wanted to leave America as much as I do now.

Zelenskyy is a hero! Slava Ukraine!

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

Flirting with Nazism is Nazism.

Pete (If I may call you Pete), IMO, you need to be doing daily Democratic counter-press conferences.

Maybe invite AP to be there and to ask the first question. ;)

So.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.

I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator.

He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

He is not my king!

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

Infuriating!

Today at 11 Am @johnfugelsang.bsky.social and I record the second episode of The Oath and the Office. In the replies here let us know what you’d like to hear discussed.

We listened to the first episode!

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Zelenskyy: "I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine. Never."

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”
