Why does the first day back from work post vacation always make me feel like I need to go back on vacation?

Andrea Morehouse @akmorehouse.bsky.social · Jul 18

If it were just about the money CBS would have looked for ways to cut costs (shorten run time, raise the temperature in the theater, etc.) not cancel a #1 show in it’s time slot (not to mention all the views the monologue gets on YouTube) www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/u...

Is it just me, or does violence at protests always seem to escalate when police (or police like forces) show up? Media and politicians tell us they are going to de-escalate the situation, but they always seem to escalate the violence and destruction. (Note: this observation is US specific)

Trump told reporters at the White House that the protesters in Los Angeles “are insurrectionists.” That’s false. January 6 was an insurrection, this is a protest. But by using that language, he may be laying the groundwork to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act.

The attacks this executive branch is making on educational institutions is all part of their mission to make the American public dumb drones! I support university research and the diverse views and opinions international scholars bring to our campuses. Education was one of our greatest exports!

At the 2025 Cannes Film Festival opening, Robert De Niro used his honorary Palme d’Or acceptance speech to sharply criticize Donald Trump, labeling him ‘America’s philistine president’ and an enemy of the arts.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

America, you f**ked up!

She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy.

Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

We had a way to stop this, but too many people “didn’t want that lady in office” and our collective actions have consequences.

Wait, Columbia University has another President? What the heck is going on over there? I break it down. (Spoiler: the Trustees have gone rogue.) youtu.be/j-Sn8FT6JP8

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

Remember the noise Trump and his crew made about Clinton’s emails in 2016? Funny they don’t have the same outrage about this signal chat… which definitely had classified information.

Tammy Duckworth @duckworth.senate.gov · Mar 25

Protocol is clear. Every single official on that Signal chain needs to hand over their mobile devices.

Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, Marco Rubio—all of them.

This is a matter of national security and the rule of law.

If it were anyone else, Republicans would call for this too.

Andrea Morehouse @akmorehouse.bsky.social · Mar 27

Absolutely ashamed and disgusted to see this happening again and again. These events are going to drive international students and academics out of the U.S… and it’s going to be the U.S. that suffers. Beyond that, what crime have they committed? Free speech?

Katherine Franke @katherinefranke.bsky.social · Mar 26

I can't overstate how terrified the members of our academic communities are now. The video of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts student, being surrounded by MASKED ICE officers, cuffed, and hauled away shakes me to my core. And then I passed ICE vehicles parked near our campus this morning ...

The real threat to national security are those running the county. Imagine if instead of Goldberg they included a foreign national, or someone who didn’t mind inferring with their plans?

Pete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · Mar 24

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

“There is a shortage of American doctors working in Dr. Alawieh’s area of specialty” so let’s deport her, prevent her from teaching others who want to work in area of specialty, and make patient care worse. The US doesn’t make sense anymore.

The ALB balloon and other balloons impacted are in the heart of regions with a lot of outdoor activities. Without knowledge gained from these balloons hikers, boaters, hunters, & fisherman are going to go into places like the ADKs not knowing a storm will be there later in the day. This is dangerous
