Looks like Susie Wiles is next. Trump has the same problem with female employees that he has with wives: Poor hires, based on looks and sycophancy, even worse supervision. Wives last longer because they have contracts. Mistresses fall into the employee category.

Without the methodology we can't trust any poll. But Trump's approval numbers are about the same as Herbert Hoover's in his failed attempt to defeat FDR at the height of the Depression. Conclusion? About 1/3 of this country will not recognize their economic self-interest. Focus on the other 2/3.

Rather than a bridge to the future it promised to be, the Biden administration served as a refueling station for an even more nihilistic, authoritarian, and destructive Trump administration. Democrats need to have learned the lesson by 2028.

Essential @ahjohnson.bsky.social here; I totally forgot how all the media lost their shit when Trump raided John Bolton which stands in severe contrast to their silence regarding Ilhan Omar theintercept.com/2026/10/15/i...

Trump Is Targeting Ilhan Omar. Where’s the Elite Media Outrage?

Unlike the raid on John Bolton, which was roundly condemned by corporate media, NYT, Washington Post, and WSJ are silent on Trump’s overstep with Omar.

Perhaps not if the smarts are based on critical understanding of how consciousness is shaped and ideological clarity about how that supports and undercuts the kind of world we want.

Really sorry you face this. I think it's invisible because the misogyny reflects and emerges from tacit cultural assumptions. Their attitudes are shaped by uncritical acceptance of aspects of popular culture. They think they're cool, radical, when in fact they repeat deeply-ingrained biases.

The rejection is ideological, for sure. Perhaps not science per se but science that acknowledges systemic racism, how youth of color are demonized and dehumanized. Recall Hillary Clinton's "super-predator" comment? The apology rang very false, very quickly: www.businessinsider.com/hillary-clin...

businessinsider.com

Hillary Clinton dismisses the 'defund the police' movement, says accountability must go along with policing

"The most important thing is to win the next election. The alternative is so frightening that whatever does not help you win should not be a priority," she said.

State Dept recruits new diplomats, but plans to keep shrinking its workforce next year - Federal News Network

"Diplomat" is not the same as "Ambassador." Diplomats were forced out while Trump has given Ambassadors the green light to loot as long as they don't step on his corrupt toes. federalnewsnetwork.com/hiring-reten...

A laid-office Foreign Service officer said “it is quite a slap in the face” for the State Department to recruit without rescinding RIFs.

As the economy and war drag them down, and their base loses heart, they've run out of excuses, slurs, and slanders so have to recycle their McCarthyite gay-bashing, which they used unsuccessfully six months ago.

To be completely objective, the grift in being named an ambassador by a completely corrupt president is that you too have the right to enrich yourself by any means available except those already being used by those with more power.

Totally on-target. The fact that we shouldn't trust polls that don't provide their methodology (and then critique it to make sure it's valid and reliable), isn't a concern to the pundit-consultant propagandists for the Democratic "center," who look only for evidence that confirms their perspective.

Repression in France’s overseas territories gets little attention. But protests are also happening and kids are detained. In Guadeloupe, 21 schools were blocked on the 6th of October. In Le Moule, gendarmes were choking, kicking and pinning a teenager to the ground during his arrest.

For my ENG speaking followers Unprecedented High School blockades began in the outskirts of Paris in Créteil on the 21st of Sept. National mobilisations followed on the 29th of September, the 1st and the 6th of October. The movement is ongoing and has spread both in scope and scale. #tippingpoint

The "science" of reading is bogus, measured by standardized tests themselves based on instruction and curriculum that those most affected have no opportunities to shape.

When the newspaper that decides what's "fit to print" cherrypicks education "experts" (without revealing criteria) on how to improve schools, and their opinions coincide with news articles devoid of analysis of big money's role in ed policy, consider the recommendations propaganda.
