Holy shit. Trump lied to cadets at West Point saying he had to leave abruptly and couldn’t shake their hands because he had to deal with China and Russia. The motherfucker went golfing.

Fascism must continually expand its definition of 'the other.' Initially, specific groups are scapegoated, but over time, the regime narrows the boundaries of acceptable identity and behavior. Even those once aligned with the regime can easily find themselves branded as enemies.

The actual is not what we are, but rather what we become, what we are in the process of becoming—that is the Other, our becoming-other.

Dr. Hayden is a consummate professional, career librarian, and public servant. I cannot think of anyone in the Trump administration who is fit to address the Librarian of Congress in this way:

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

The more they lie, obfuscate and deny the glaringly obvious facts, the more I suspect they’re trying to protect the signal chats we haven’t seen yet.

The Trump administration sent federal agents to search dorm rooms at Columbia University last night. The move, which is clearly designed to intimidate colleges by creating a chilling atmosphere, comes just days after Trump canceled $400 million in government grants and contracts for the university.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law: “It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...
nhpr.org
NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.
