Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Great (and short) thread.
so, this weekend the great Dr. Demento did his final show. I could write a lot about the importance of his show to me & my friends when we were 12 and 13. there's more to it than "he played funny stuff" and "his show is where @alyankovic.bsky.social got his start." 1/3

I'm not old enough to remember, but I've heard many people say that the revelation of Nixon's "enemies list" was a real turning point in his popularity. Now we have Trump expanding his enemies list every day.

Senator Jon Ossoff isn’t mincing words: the Trump administration is totally riddled with corruption. His speech is a reminder that democracy dies when leaders put profit over the people!

Trump is so embarrassing. I think we'll survive as a country, but we'll never live down electing him twice.

The iceberg, known as A23a, has been on a journey following the current into warmer waters for months. Now, it has begun the predicted and natural process of breaking apart, and eventually melting.

All praise to the Crimson, but it's alarming that the NYT trusted a leak from the administration.
Important details from this story:
1) Yet another news-break by student journalists (this time @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social) www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
2) Harvard saying "see you in court," not "let's make a deal."
3) Per Garber, WH/MAGA leaked news of a "deal." NYT then ran with it.
