Meme of a person standing before the pearly gates and an angel says: "Says here you went to church your whole life and loudly proclaimed yourself a Christian, but worshiped rich people, hated the downtrodden, and cheered for cruelty. Like what the fuck, man?"

He's not making it through the gates.

Unmasking Academe’s Gilded Boys’ Club The Epstein files reveal an elite, chummy, and venal scholarly network.

The Epstein files are spilling secrets about a venal corner of academe that tolerated the sex offender's β€œsleazy, predatory world." https://chroni.cl/4b7amJb

DOJ hides Trump-related Epstein files. And, what to know for the State of the Union An NPR investigation found that the DOJ withheld some Epstein files related to abuse allegations against Trump. And, what you need to know ahead of the president's State of the Union address tonight.

Jeffrey Epstein helped fuel the campus culture wars The academics in the Epstein files aren’t all criminals, but they shared beliefs about whose work matters.

The worst figures on campus arguing that campuses had become overrun with wokeness were all best buddies with Epstein. Quelle surprise.

How presidents have changed the White House β€” and how Trump's ballroom is different President Trump is demolishing the East Wing to make room for a ballroom. His administration says he's continuing a presidential legacy of White House renovations, but this is the biggest in decades.

Trump Has Completely Demolished The White House East Wing The two-story structure of drawing rooms and offices, including a walkway to the White House itself, has been turned into rubble.

The entire East Wing of the White House has now been demolished. No transparency. No public comment period. No congressional review. Just gone in a matter of days…like our democracy.

The Texas Historical Commission Removed Books on Racism and Slavery From Plantation Gift Shops An agency spokesperson claimed that the move had nothing to do with politics. Internal emails show otherwise.

THE MAINE THING Why do Democrats seem intent on picking yet another old, run-of-the-Mills candidate when they can have something better?

πŸ“ŒAs a one-time resident of Maine, vet, longtime liberal and lover of America, I am flabbergasted the tone-deaf leaders in the Democratic Party have done it again by choosing a 78-year-old to run against Susan Collins next year β€”especially when we deserve so much better.

The case for Graham Platner.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves β€” how to find the answers on their own.

@npr.org Nice segment on the harms being experienced by soybean farmers due to trump tariffs. The reporter failed to ask the Q why taxpayers should bailout farmers again who voted for this govt after seeing the damage done in 2018 by trump policies?

Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America?

Why not acknowledge and confront it?

Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files?

Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer?

These problems won't go away.

The administration’s attack on the National Museum of African American History and Culture is an attack on truth itself. Erasing Black history is how oppression survives.

Exaggerating crime to β€œsave” a city is a classic fascist play.

Mussolini did it.
Hitler did it.
Pinochet did it.

Now Trump’s doing it in D.C. β€” and the people who actually live there aren’t buying it.
