Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."
This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Wonβt
I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.
Much like with Iraq in 2003, objecting to this new war in the Middle East will likely get framed by those perpetrating it in terms of βyouβre defending a murderous regime that only a few weeks ago was murdering protestorsβ. And firstly - fuck the Iranian regime for murdering innocent people.
This week my students were asking about the distinction between anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism. The conversation happened in the context of reading Gandhiβs Satyagraha in South Africa. They were amazed that Gandhi could see the Boer as an iconic figure of colonial suffering and resistance 1/
Watching a good friend of mine who is Iranian go from anti-Trump to pro-Trump in a 24 hour period over Iran is sad, misguided, and dumb. The optics president will use the moral justification of "the hour of freedom is at hand" to cloak his true intentions. It's right out of the imperialist playbook.
Trump said he could end the Ukraine war in 24 hours. He had no plan.
Trump said he could deliver better and cheaper healthcare. He had no plan.
Trump said he he would rebuild US infrastructure. He had no plan.
Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and see what happens.
Lol no he just naturally looks like that
7 years ago, a trip to a Kansas Petco for food for my other two cats turned into a small disheveled cat leaping into my arms from his cage and getting adopted that day. Happy 8th birthday to Jack!

Proposed solution for tufted puffin declines: more monitoring and marine protected areas.
Itβs like putting a non-smoking section in a casino.
Drawing a boundary doesnβt change the air.
Local protection matters, but it canβt offset warming oceans and shifting food webs.
Some exciting news: I'm going to be interviewed next week by the Journal of West African History about my background and my work, including my forthcoming article that'll be out later this year.
It was such a gorgeous day today that one of my colleagues and I decided to catch the school's softball game today and they absolutely dominated Barstow College. Great afternoon
A legally blind, 65 yr-old woman: has unintentionally lost 28 pounds because she can't afford food under Trump. "The end is coming near. Under Joe Biden I received $80 SNAP per month & was able to put away $100 per month for food. Trump took that away from me." #sheshed
This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

3) still deciding. Just got home from a book fair in Pasadena so I'm a bit behind on meal planning.

$500 billion a year is enough to guarantee a basic income via a negative income tax with a 50% phaseout rate for all Americans, ending poverty and significantly reducing inequality and insecurity.

This. All of this. Years ago when I was living in the Midwest, I was amazed by the number of vacant warehouses and buildings. I said to my then partner at the time this exact same thing of what should be done with those structures and it is always a matter of will not resources.

The first quarter of the semester has been a tad stressful so I took a much needed day trip to Santa Monica to unwind. Definitely feel a bit more recharged now
This is the most incredible #SuperBowl halftime show that I have ever seen. Bad Bunnyβs celebration of Latin American culture is just the statement of defiance against the Trump administration and xenophobia that this country needed. Thank you.
Can't wait to hear how this is deeply un-American
