I love my University and it’s research. But what did this cost, what possible return, and what budgetary woes are we currently in?

Replying to @JamesFTierney @anthony_schutz
I worry you have confused "cynical" for "considered." I expect Trump will announce a nom (a conservative minority), to win minority votes, force dem senators to criticize a minority, and force Biden to announce who we would nom (dividing dems). Now _that_ is cynicism.

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble
