"No one is fighting Trump except Newsom."
MILLIONS of people across the country, elected and not, are fighting Trump EVERY DAY, from feeding people to providing free healthcare to pro bono litigation to organizing.
What you mean is YOU aren't fighting Trump.
Posting isn't fighting.
Until today, I don't think I've seen "I asked ChatGPT" on this site used earnestly. It's so unexpected. It's like someone saying "A horse walks into a bar" and then telling a true story about a horse who killed 2 people when it somehow got into a bar and started freaking out and kicking everyone.
In 2016, Trump declared he “loved the poorly educated.” Since returning to office, his attacks on higher education have escalated into an all-out assault on universities, free thought, and dissent.
@mattpolprof.bsky.social explains, a 🧵1/9
Trump’s escalating attacks on higher education represent a centuries-long drive to kill the Socratic spirit.
My job as a professor is not to create a serviceable worker. My job is to help foster thoughtful citizens or community members.
If that sounds fanciful it’s bc corporate interests have spent decades framing how we talk about education so they don’t take the heat for immiserating labor conditions.
Do not accept the premise that education is to blame for abysmal jobs outcomes.
“The fantasy economy's framing of economic inequality… focuses exclusively on education…deflects attention away from decades of public policies and changing business practices that have…contributed to stagnating wages”
'Eureka!'
I had a lightbulb moment and captured the street's reflection in a garden ornament.
Happy Monday my friends!

NEW: I spoke to SJ Joslin, a park ranger and wildlife biologist who was fired by Yosemite National Park last week for helping to raise a transgender pride flag on the park's iconic El Capitan rock face.
The ex-ranger said they plan to fight the decision, citing an executive order issued by President Trump that protects Americans’ free speech rights.
Or false imprisonment.
The problem is, like with immigration, instead of saying “actually, that’s not a problem”
Democrats agree with the fascist framing and then propose half measure solutions, leading people to just vote for the reactionary party
They help produce these crime and immigration narratives they lose on
Here's the thing: If you believe that Republicans can always win on crime by simply declaring there to be a crime emergency in a major city, irrespective of any actual policing or criminal justice policies being pursued by the city government, then you are just saying that Democrats can't win.
WOW. @marcelias.bsky.social goes off on the failures of legacy media: "We have an absolute collapse and failure by the institutions that have promised us that democracy would not die in darkness, that in fact, they stand for the proposition that democracy will die in plain sight of daylight."
Way too many Liberals think making and sharing AI memes is "resistance".
It's not resistance. It's compliance. Every time you use AI for some entertainment bullshit you're lining the pockets of the oligarchs who support Trump. You are passively supporting Trump with your AI slop.
Do the work.
