@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "We're trying to play by one set of rules. And these folks on the other side play by a completely different set of rules. So much so that the president United States called Greg Abbott and told him, in essence, find 5 additional seats so he can rig the election next year."

They also laugh about having to shoot some immigrants eventually, and the $30,000 bonus money they get for being ICE agents making it ok to smell people’s urine when they piss their pants after being tased.

A President of the United States is not supposed to be this involved in our daily lives.

Most Presidents run the Government,
F47 wants to run everything else

The American people are driven by fairness and decency Everyone who has a heart and conscience needs to rail against indecency if we are to retain any semblance of our American ideals.

Everyone who has a heart and conscience needs to do so if we are to somehow retain any semblance of our decent and humane society as we navigate through the hellscape Trump created and expanded.

Just heard Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for Dan Quayle, say he thinks ICE should be defunded and that the entire DHS should probably be disbanded, which puts him to the left of maybe the majority of elected Democrats. Truly wild times we’re living in.

Are you familiar with Amos Oz’s concept of the Order of the Teaspoon?

I also recommend @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s address on the anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride. She talks about how little things done by we little people can have oversized impact. We just need to stay ready to ride.

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

Indiana University To Discontinue More Than 100 Academic Programs Indiana University-Bloomington is ending 116 academic programs in a restructuring that comes after Indiana passed a law requiring a review of low-enrollment programs.

The GOP war on higher ed continues apace. Gutting public uni systems that state residents have long relied on as drivers of cultural advancement and social mobility.

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.

And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.

Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill
