The US military has many types of institutions within it. In addition to the armed services, it also has a media and educational wing. Hegseth's assault on all these institutions shows how authoritarians operate. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/which-stor...

My coauthor Barrett Tylor, who is not on here, was interviewed by The New Yorker about the partisan takeover of Texas Tech and our "postliberal university" concept is used to explain what's going on in US higher education! www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

During Donald rump's second term, state legislatures across the country hav deemed "woke ideology." More than half of American college students, in twenty- three states, are currently attending a school that has been forced to ban certain topics from the classroom, eliminate academic departments, or drastically weaken tenure protections for professors. Barrett Taylor, a scholar of higher education at the University of North Texas, described such measures as the first phase of a wider
movement to establish what he calls the "post-liberal university." The second phase involves installing political appointees to run universities. In 2022, only three per cent of college presidents came from the public sector. But in Florida a quarter of state schools are now led by former Republican politicians, and many other states, including Ohio, Virginia, and Texas, have increasingly turned to conservative lawmakers to run public colleges and universities in the past two years. As a former trustee at a Florida public college put it, "We are now over the walls and ready to
transform higher education from within."

A billionaire dictator who'll lose everything if the opposition replaces him on Jan. 20, 2029 is stockpiling killer drones and high-powered rifles on towering monuments and ballroom roofs I'm sure it's nothing to worry about

When my ship comes in, I will buy a fancy espresso machine and put it on a skinny little table right here next to my desk under the Clash poster and that is all I ask of the universe, plus world peace, &c.

Why would reporters agree not to record? This wasn't a private scene. He was trotted out to the Senate specifically as proof-of-life for the press. Agreeing is disgraceful. The Secret Service detained me for refusing to erase video of them near the UN. So what? Be a professional. Take your lumps!

DHS has always been a weapon to be pointed at anyone the government considers the public enemy. Because of its broad authority and lack of oversight, DHS is a tool the authoritarians and fascists use to advance their agenda, making us all less safe!
