In what world is it the purview of the President/Executive branch “to force conservative cultural changes on academia‘? And why end the paragraph without noting that there is no legal justification whatsoever for Trump and his minions to “force cultural change” on institutions of higher education.
Inside the White House, some of Mr. Trump’s top lieutenants have expressed frustration about a perceive slowdown in the adminstration’s attempts to force conservative cultural changes on academia.

Here's my problem with guys like Ari Emmanuel: It's not like he's talking with a childhood friend who would like to vote for a "responsible" conservative. He's talking to an egregious liar and grifter Trump. So, Ari: Go away and shut up. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

To be entirely clear, this is not a comment on Swedish politics or the left there, I have no expertise in it My point is about the wider coverage of the far right and the hype it creates, totally skewing our reading of the world around us

This is an excellent thread that lays out how and why things have been going south since the election of Reagan. Shame on the Democrats for falling on their faces back in the 1980's and not fighting harder to stop this back then.

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

Very true. FWIW, I now bag my own groceries because there's never a bagger and I don't want stand and watch the checker do it. Here in CO, some people use the "Montana Loop" to avoid the DMV which, to me, is weird because it's so much better than where I came from.

I am a scientist – and the answer is climate change. Yes, there is nuance. Yes, it could take a long time to identify the precise mechanisms. But there is no question why ice and snow-related disasters are on the rise. Our planet is warming at an unprecedented rate, and humans are responsible.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Enough with true crime stories. Let's go with a Mad Men(esque) serial focused on 1970's (and '80's) Johnson Publishing! As a #magazine professional I would watch the hell out of that! (So long as they keep it real). From @ninametz.bsky.social buttondown.com/NinaWatchesE...
