I have literally zero reach in the world, but after watching the @channel5bluesky.bsky.social interview, I feel like a ton of people owe Hunter Biden an apology. And I think we are all owed an explanation from some of them.

Multiple layers of anger.
1) as UPenn alumna (more glad I transferred to non capitulating Brown)
2) a university w/ a med school making up “biology-based” definitions
3) sports (which I admit can be complicated!) is just the wedge for UPenn and trans people.
The bullies will now demand more.

BREAKING
The University of Pennsylvania has come to an agreement with the Trump administration on what the Department of Education said was its Title IX violations.
This will include stripping trans athlete Lia Thomas of her records, titles, and recognitions.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.
I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture.
The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention.

The Democrats need to set up a shadow cabinet that refutes the administration in real time. Literally follows cabinet members around, does parallel press conferences, meets parallel groups of people etc.
THIS PREDICTION IS A SURE THING:
Donald Trump is going to try to take credit for the Infrastructure Bill that Biden and Democrats fought to pass into law.

If we had cleaned up the lead pipe situation 30 years ago, Trump would be polling at 10% right now.
FOREVER, the environmental community has been saying we should replace lead pipes in drinking water systems. The Biden-Harris Admin got it done. $15 billion for lead pipe replacement, & an additional $11.7 B for water infrastructure & lead pipe replacement. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

when movies get deleted for tax reasons, they should legally become public domain. people should be allowed to upload it anywhere they want. that's the tradeoff you make if you wanna delete your own movie released this year for a few extra bucks, and i think it's fair
