Notes for my next lecture: the American experiment basically sucks.
And we're four months into the "Harvard is about to cave" narrative in MSM/NYT.
GOOD FOR PENN, BROWN, and MIT.
Five years ago all this stuff about Trump's serial abuse came up. Women who had been minors at the time told their stories. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...
California’s public universities are the best in the nation and a pipeline for research, talent, and tech that fuels the global economy.

From Silicon Valley to Silicon Beach, this is where ideas take flight.
Happy Birthday, California! 🥳
Today, we proudly celebrate 175 years of statehood.

California is where bold ideas become world-changing breakthroughs.
One in four U.S. Nobel Prizes in science has gone to a California institution, and California is home to more Nobel Prize winners than any country in the world.
An incredible night at Brooklyn College with Bernie Sanders. Thank you to everyone who packed the house and watched from home.
The fight against oligarchy is on the ballot this November - and together, we will win.
Yes. She and her and her ilk can go back to the cesspool from where they came from. Good bye and good riddance to her!
Donald Trump is attacking me because he is desperate to distract from his war on working people. We must and we will fight back.
I can’t imagine what it’s like to be in New York. Mamdani is what New Yorkers need, and what we need to supercharge the nation.
Vibes, not intel, evidence, or anything based on reality. It’s just Trump and Netanyahu on a personal agenda. So frightening.
Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia graduate and pro-Palestinian activist, was released on bail after more than 100 days of detention on Friday. He said if President Trump’s goal had been to suppress pro-Palestinian speech, he had “absolutely failed.” nyti.ms/3ZJ6ZCb
What a moron.
$1 million is a start. The organization can do A LOT more.

Today’s No Kings protest will likely be one of the largest in the nation’s history — and potentially the largest — according to one expert.

I was right … ooops you just missed me! 😮
For real, it was the largest protest I’ve seen in a long time. ✊🏼
Remarkable.
MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
Cannot stress enough that the protest in DTLA was completely nonviolent until the local police departments showed up
Been in contact with multiple indies currently on the ground who confirmed this. Cops pushed, then started firing riot munitions indiscriminately
Senator Padilla’s office sends me this video of his take-down and detention at Sec. Noem’s press conference in L.A.
WATCH: A combat veteran congressman ISN’T STAYING SILENT after Alex Padilla’s arrest by Kristi Noem. He TOOK THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE and forced everyone to confront the reality: a sitting Senator was removed in cuffs — and something must be done.
California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join.

"Mobilizing military forces into cities is going to be seen as an overreach, and it's going to be now met with peaceful, boisterous moms, dads, grandmas. kids and their dogs and families showing up, saying, 'we're not going to put up with this authoritarianism..."

Donald Trump is behaving like a tyrant, not a President.
By turning the military against American citizens, he is threatening the very core of our democracy.
I’m asking the court to immediately block these unlawful actions.
If you incite violence or destroy our communities, you are going to be held accountable.
That kind of criminal behavior will not be tolerated. Full stop.
The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up peacefully.
