GOP Speaker Mike Johnson promised to swear in Rep-elect @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social Grijalva “as soon as she wants.” Now he’s holding her seat hostage until Dems reopen the government — disenfranchising 813,000 people from Tucson to Yuma.
The GOP has gone full lawless. #DemocracyUnderThreat

It appears that my employer, Dartmouth, one of the Trump 9, has said no to the compact. All the better given that our president is cited within it. But she’s saying no. Count the small victories when they come.

Office of the President
Dear Dartmouth community,

As many of you know, Dartmouth was one of nine universities asked by the White House to give feedback by Oct. 20 on a draft of its “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.”

I am deeply committed to Dartmouth’s academic mission and values and will always defend our fierce independence.

You have often heard me say that higher education is not perfect and that we can do better. At the same time, we will never compromise our academic freedom and our ability to govern ourselves.

Best,
Sian Leah Beilock
President

Passive aggressive level 100 this is how we roll in the PNW 🤣 Protesters in Portland are going ice fishing with donuts as bait on fishing polls, holding dance offs in front of ICE barricades in goofy costumes and just being incredibly annoying to ICE there's no violence from protesters whatsoever.

Not a very long path from "Why wouldn't you want the regime to deploy federal troops in your city when it reduces carjackings?" to "Why would you be opposed to the erection of internment camps for deviants when it reduces crime?"

And a good chunk of mainstream media will just follow along.
