As Trump’s classified docs prosecution goes forward, now w no pretense of trial before the election, Judge appears poised to permit him to use pub hearings in the case to sound his campaign themes. 1/…

@GottaLaff reading this makes me feel hopeless. Trump has us teetering on the edge of facism. A majority of SCOTUS is corrupt. This judge should have been removed months ago. Even the antics of the defendents attorneys in the would never be tolerated as they have. Trump should be in jail for continuing to violate the gag order...😭

ICEBREAKER #genchat Do you have instances of chain migration in your family line? @genchat

kwheaton,
@kwheaton@sfba.social avatar

@genchat @genchat yes, chain migration! It led to thousands of descendants in the US who claimed they were related but there wasn't much proof. All surnamed MOSER and later MOSIER They came from small villages in Bavaria on 2 ships a couple of years apart in the early 1700's. I recount part of the story here. It is the classic 3 brothers story but there were 6 brothers and a sister! And these pre-date immigration records. https://wheatonwood.com/2024/01/05/the-three-brothers-story-retold-johan-martin-moser/

The Students Have Never Been the Enemy

Student protest movements have historically functioned as an indispensable corrective for America and the West. That is the legacy of 1968 we should be talking about.

@tzimmer_history i traveled to Berkeley daily during the height of the demonstrations. Even during People's Park one could avoid any confrontation by avoiding a several block area. The press covered the most sensational, but it was far from the whole story. Later in life I had the opportunity to take a small (12 person) seminar at SSU from Mario Savio. It was called "Science and Poetry". He was kind and soft spoken but also passionate. There are so many layers to student movement that are ignored. The current crack downs are the of .
