Public radio is vital for Colorado communities, providing essential news, emergency alerts, and local stories that connect us all. The recent federal cuts threaten to silence many of our beloved radio stations, especially in rural communities.
I have admired @presjimryan for his leadership and appreciated his support during my time at @UVA . His forced resignation sickens me. I have a hard time comprehending how this decision benefits the University of Virginia or the people that it is designed to serve.
UVA is the envy of American public universities, Jim Ryan has been an incredible leader of UVA - Trump's interference in the operation of Virginia's universities and any cooperation by those sworn to protect them will not be tolerated by the Virginia Senate
Best definition of Trumpism I have read.
Yesterday, the neoconservative David Brooks wrote this in an OpEd in the NY Times,
"Trumpism… is primarily about the acquisition of power — power for its own sake. It is a multifront assault to make the earth a playground for ruthless men, so of course any institutions that might restrain power must be weakened or destroyed. Trumpism is about ego, appetite and acquisitiveness and is driven by a primal aversion to the higher elements of the human spirit — learning, compassion, scientific wonder, the pursuit of justice. …
What is happening now is not normal politics. We’re seeing an assault on the fundamental institutions of our civic life, things we should all swear loyalty to — Democrat, independent or Republican.
It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power. …
I’m really not a movement guy. I don’t naturally march in demonstrations or attend rallies that I’m not covering as a journalist. But this is what America needs right now."
Newly confirmed @Interior Secretary Doug Burgum ordered a 15-day internal review of oil, gas and mining on public lands, including national monuments. NPCA's review of the order identified key monuments at risk of losing federal protections. https://t.co/uCroOUkhJ8
"Winter Solstice... The lengthening days following this pivotal point signify the gradual resurgence of warmth and vitality, breathing life back into the dormant landscapes."
