He could have done a LOT to stop it if he hadn't put his millions, his minions, and his X mouthpiece behind the most hate-filled authoritarian politician the country has ever seen. A little late now.

I'm not a Bernie-or-bust partisan but this year he's provided such a tireless voice in defense of democracy. IMO the strongest counter to the volatility of the moment would be to replace 99% of responses with this simple, matter of fact message distilled from years of experience.

I don't know if it's true, but my gut tells me a bitter and joyless population can't sustain life, even its own. Necrosis spreads on the inside. And cancer kills the host.

If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you

Tweet from Stuart Stevens:

When Democrats take the House, they must understand they are not a governing party.
They are a dissident movement.
Act like it.
First day:
- cut off all funding of Exec. Branch
-vote to nationalize Starlink and SpaceX
-defund ICE
That's the first day.
On the second, get more aggressive.
There is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos.

This past week, the 79-year-old president announced he’s ended six wars (some that have been going on for centuries), asserted that windmills drive whales insane, called for Beyoncé to be prosecuted, claimed Obama committed treason and complained a convicted pedophile “stole” teenage girls from him.

Exactly!! You cannot defend climate denial without twisting yourself into logical knots. All that's required is using the most basic evidence, (from 25 years ago even), physical laws and logic. The whole thing can be demonstrated in one class session.

In first grade! I found a kids book at Goodwill on logical reasoning that could be used for ages 6-100.

Regarding ongoing discussion of training students to evaluate sources of information -- it's heartening to see much serious attention by @eliothiggins.bsky.social and others. But I'm stumped why academics in particular are still so stumped by this!

Raz Rasmussen @lulabeast.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

English comp is another opportunity. When I taught that as a grad student (35 years ago yikes) I expanded a slim section on logical reasoning into a core focus that we practiced and used to evaluate arguments throughout the course. Why is this treated like such a mystery by educators??

Raz Rasmussen @lulabeast.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

And it's MOST easily accomplished in subject matter classes where an expert (the prof) can explain why certain sources and institutions are trusted, how to track down original sources, and give very soecific examples.

I was teaching this to intro oceanography students 15 years ago with the part of my course that covered climate change. It could be incorporated into virtually any class, from primary school age through college. Very easy to do & probably the most valuable thing they will learn!

100 years ago, they came for UNC-Chapel Hill. They accused it of teaching evolution, non-heroic US history, and anti-racism. They threatened its budget. Pres. Harry Chase fought back and won. He told voters that if they wanted a “real university,” there could be no ideological control.
