Utilizing the power of the federal government to get a university president to quit because he did things you didn't like is a massive L for democracy and education but surely Joe Biden’s ability to properly acknowledge George Clooney was more important.

Oh, and Kamala Harris would *definitely* have done the same thing. No different!

Here’s some good news. Kamala Harris won his congressional district. This will be a great pickup opportunity for Democrats in the midterms.

Some people are mad at older people in the government but Robert Byrd, who died in office at 92, is now saving all your asses from beyond the grave.

Blaming Dems is how you give up and stop fighting. It might feel good for a minute, but quitting usually does. For a minute.
Sometimes you feel like you see the shark but nobody else saw it yet.

Yeah nobody is doing that, pal, except for telling the truth about Bernie who is not a Democrat and not in the party but spends all of his old fart breath complaining about it.

Nobody is Dem leadership is complaining about AOC or the guy who won their NYC primary.

@TonyStark@progressivecafe.social I dunno man, Dem leadership is deserving of any blame. They villainize the only people in the party fighting back, creating energy, and winning: Zohran Mamdani, AOC, and Bernie Sanders.

Triangle Toot Party!

Thanks, non-Kamala voters.

HBCUs Reel as Trump Cuts Black-Focused Grants: ‘This Is Our Existence’:

Trump's executive order is unconstitutional.

What the Court did do is allow Trump, or any other future president, to deny birthright citizenship to any group they shall choose. This is likely to happen. Think of the number of refugees in the US that will have citizenship stripped: Haitians, Cubans, Somalis, Sudanese, Ukrainians, Arabs, etc.

This gives Trump more autocratic power.

US supreme court limits judges’ power on nationwide injunctions in apparent win for Trump:

US supreme court limits federal judges’ power to block Trump orders

Ruling to limit nationwide injunctions could see president’s order to ban birthright citizenship partially implemented

The Guardian

Somehow on days like today when there are a number of terrible SCOTUS decisions raining down, I remember this happening.

And I still don’t think the population as a whole acknowledges this happened.
