History faculty at Columbia & Barnard decrying the harassment of @mark-bray.bsky.social: "This is the first case in recent memory of a historian who has fled the country after receiving death threats on account of the history that they teach."

He surrendered his integrity a long time ago. When did these halfwits decide their highest aspiration in life was to be one of the bad guy extras in a real-life version of Mr Smith Goes to Washington?

When did it become cool to be a sleazebag?

But sure, take the fluoride out of the water but not the lead. 🤡

Marching for democracy in downtown Louisville! Proud of our @repmcgarvey.bsky.social

The greed of the billionaires telling working people they don’t deserve healthcare or a living wage is hard for me to wrap my head around. We can have a system that lifts everyone. Isn’t that the American dream or is that gone?

Where do you stand on Fatal Attraction? Combining a bunny with sacrificial death brings a strong Easter vibe as well.

It’s almost like one side doesn’t know how to America.

The other side (I hope):

London

New York Times, Jan. 26, 1935.

Zero real Americans have a problem with Zelenskyy not wearing a suit. It's like watching a scene from Mean Girls.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

That’s my Gov!!♥️

Yesterday I explained neoliberalism to my students. They hadn't heard of it.

"Something's happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear. There's a man with a gun over there, tellin' me I've got to beware! It's time to stop, people, what's that sound, everybody look what's goin' down." Buffalo Springfield-1967
Old protest songs work until people write some new ones.

“To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead.”

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

It's a tragedy.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Kind of darkly funny that Trump privately is demanding that ICE arrest up to 1,500 immigrants each day, the same number of criminals he got released in one day simply because they carried out crimes on his behalf

You shouldn’t be able to sanction a country unless you can spell it correctly

I support trans rights, just pointing out the hypocrisy of the Jenner post.

Especially loud at Normandy

Saw that, but I’m still pretending it’s Bruce for the occasion lol

Again, the World Health Organization is the single most important global entity in preventing, tracking and controlling outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics and is especially important as climate change and deforestation allow pathogens to mutate, become more infectious and spread to new regions

Thank you!! Love some ELO

Don’t bring me down, Bruce

Trump can’t legally own a firearm, but he’s about to be given the nuclear launch codes.

Very normal country we have.
