I disagree. They care about their view of history

Federal funding of University research is quickly drying up. One suggestion is to move to a GoFundMe model, so just like medical insurance in the US

I'm sad that there might be Americans who don't feel like this

Trump Administration Cancels $400 Million in Grants and Contracts to Columbia Univeristy (Gift Article) The White House blamed the university’s failure to protect Jewish students from harassment during protests last year over the war in Gaza.

As a member of the choir, while I know he's lying, it's helpful to know exactly what he's lying about. It does grow very tiring figuring out exactly why I shouldn't believe him

A few made-for-TV moments, like making a kid an honorary Secret Service member

Conspiracists are about to get a dose of reality Antivaxers, cranks and fantasists thrive in safe, stable societies but the days of consequence-free idiocy may be ending

@hcrichardson.bsky.social mentioned this column recently. Basically, people are too young to remember true fascism and diseases largely eliminated by immunizations. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Yes. The bar for successful satire has been raised immeasurably

CBS News poll β€” Trump has positive approval amid "energetic" opening weeks; seen as doing what he promised Trump's deportation plans are popular, but Americans say there's not enough focus on lowering prices.

I don't approve of virtually everything the new American regime has done and I can't tell if the other side likes or even understands what's happening.

Any good suggestions for learning what they're thinking or feeling? My silos are of little help

Excellent editorial summing it all up. Meanwhile, the Times is actively fanning the flames by reporting lots on every little thing Trump does and not bothering to separate the deeply illegal from the nearly crazy
