Wow, Andy Beshear fires back like a pro at Rand Paul and Kentucky Republicans upset at him just because he skipped a silly political event to watch his kid play baseball. #FightTheRight

Don’t forget the constant, rampant lying about the University of Wisconsin, its employees, its policies, & what actually happens on our campuses: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

We spent 100% more time being told Democrats shouldn't say "oligarchy" than having anyone in the National Conversation tell these people not to call human beings "vermin" or "illegals"

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:

Trump is persistently behaving as Putin's junior partner. What does Putin want? 1. Control of Ukraine! 2. Stop USAID medical & food support! 3. Stop fre media through Radio Free Europe & Radio Liberty! 4. End US democracy promotion! Etc. Trump is Putin's loyal servant.

Almost every year in the last dozen or so, I've visited the Columbia University to give a talk to a class on writing history for journalists. No longer. I have no desire to associate with collaborationist institutions. zeteo.com/p/emails-sho...

"The night of that lame duck protest in 2018 is seared on my memory because it was such an indictment of a broken democracy...that they used their power to take away responsibility from somebody who had just won an election that couldn't be rigged." On, Wisconsin! www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

Our country has some of the best backpacking in the world. I've crossed paths on trail with some good people visiting from abroad. Stories like this further demonstrate how deliberately cruel our current administration is. www.reddit.com/r/backpackin...

For how long will Americans & its previously acclaimed institutions allow Trump to destroy the US? What is their limit? 10% decline in GDP or 20%? Full dictatorship or only partial dictatorship? Don't you see what is happening is complete nonsense?
