It’s been a long time since I heard such a powerful voice. It sounds like defiance, devotion and love. #LetitiaJames

"I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story. That I owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that, in no other country on earth, is my story even possible." -Obama, 2004 DNC National Convention speech.

Does no one remember when Bill O'Reilly challenged Obama like Vance challenged Joy Reid? "Why do you feel it’s necessary to fundamentally transform the nation that has afforded you so much opportunity?” Where is your thank you, sir? www.salon.com/2014/02/03/f...

Ailes and O’Reilly channel the white backlash in a country trying to become a multiracial democracy. That’s scary

I know this is not my usual fare, but Chris is not a usual friend.

I’ve known him for 30+ years. And I can’t move mountains, but I can at least try to give this big wish a little push.

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

Her comments will add to growing concern that Trump is plotting a way to use his power over the military and federal law enforcement to rig next year’s vote.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

A separate but complicating factor is malignant narcissism compounded by an intellect that teeters between moron and imbecile on the Goddard scale.

Why is this horrible for Universities?

Just about everyone who isn't a citizen or green card holder already who's hired for a tenure track faculty position is hired through an H1B and then, after 3-5 years, applies for a green card.

This is literally "No more foreign professors can be hired"

Gergely Orosz @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com · 24d

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.

One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.
