Stay strong. Try to remember this is not the will of the majority of us. I’d even say it’s not specifically the will of all Trump voters.

I first heard about the university black list on NPR:

I know. I mean they link to it in this article, but if it talked about Trump’s purported reasoning for doing it, I missed it.

So you’re saying that climate change is both inconvenient and true? If only there was some sort of prominent public figure who made that his or her flagship statement on the issue.

Stay safe. At the risk of drawing comparisons to the right’s perceived war on Christmas and all that bullshit, I’m worried there is a real coordinated war on academia and critical thinking right now.

For a minute I was wondering what he was trying to mask this as, but then I remembered that this is him and that the republicans don’t have to make up bullshit reasons to do stuff like this anymore.

He’s being open minded in the same way that Mike Flynn Jr is being open minded about Pizzagate being real until it’s proven false.

Fuck. I think I heard about it in NPR before I heard it anywhere else, but I missed them going that deep into it. Thanks for sharing.

When it’s reported, even here, it’s just sort of thrown out there. It seems like someone should be pressing his team for a clear reason.

Everybody knows the good guys lost.

I’ve seen a few reports and heard some on NPR about this list he is compiling of people who have worked on climate change under the Obama administration.

Bien sur.

I read The Plague during the election and one of Camus’ lines has been stuck in my head through it all. “Stupid has a knack for getting its way.”

I like Van Jones a lot. I don’t know that CNN would have been watchable during the rise of Trump without him, but I have thought for a while now that he is a bit naive.

Yeah sobriety went out the window several Tuesdays ago.

I’m a classically trained Kinja commentor. All those lessons sure are paying off now!

Trump and Romney: the will they won’t they bromance of the Holiday Season.

I hear that. Gotta stay vigilant. This is just too asinine to ignore entirely, even if the real focus is on the larger corruption.
