Last night, Kenosha killer Kyle Rittenhouse said he would vote for Ron Paul for president, angering the MAGA faithful who have covered his legal bills over the years. After half a day of bullying, he recanted and backed Trump again.

Rebecca Solnit's op-ed is required reading. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why is the pundit class so desperate to push Biden out of the race? | Rebecca Solnitwww.theguardian.com Yes, Biden had a bad debate – but so did Trump. The media is once again repeating the mistakes of 2016

You get a block! And your alt gets a block!

Expect to see a ton of these single-digit follower/following accounts trying to gum up the works from here to November. Block and move on. Don't engage.

IHE discusses House Rs' new McCarthyism but bothsides it by comparing it to Ds' investigations of predatory for-profit colleges. Maybe the real story should be that current accusations of "antisemitism" & predatory for-profit scams both divert public $ from higher ed and hurt vulnerable students.

House Republicans Threaten Colleges’ Federal Funding With New Investigations Six House committees will probe 10 colleges’ responses to antisemitism. Is it a serious effort or a politicized “fishing expedition”? #HigherEd #EDUSky #AcademicSky bit.ly/3X9lv5I
