Some want to tell <you> who you are. “You’re a Marxist!” Some want to tell you who <they> are. “I use they/them now.” And they just don’t seem to agree on anything.

I hope this does not happen. US requests Grenada to install radar equipment at Maurice Bishop Airport www.caribbeannationalweekly.com/news/us-requ...

Is this still true?

its weird that the president brags about inflicting pain on american citizens and cities right?

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

They should all be out there shouting: You damn right we shut this government down. Let’s call it “a complete and total shutdown until we figure out what’s going on.”

POTUS called Comey “a dirty cop.” Aren’t those the kind of people Trump pardons?

timeline cleanse, sorta...

Brought to you by a better democracy. This is brilliant.

American politics seems to be about who is the loudest rather than the most thoughtful, when the opposite should be the case.

"Political violence" = violence. No special category. It's all bad, horrific, regrettable.

Speak softly and carry a big stick? More like, lie loudly and act a big dick.

Good on ‘em

Adam is right, of course. There were many courses of action better than this one. Dead men tell no stories, and all that—we forfeit any possibility of cooperation when we just carpet bomb MFers as in Battleship.

Every (D) senator should talk and act like it is their last term.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

"pay" themselves, "pat" themselves...same difference.

"No way to prevent this", etc.

Once more for those in the back... Pagliacci is not the clown's name.

Likely a long shot, but might any #earlymodern musicologists be able to identify these bars? There are numerous settings by Campion, Morley, Gautier in this Scottish ms, so I wondered if it was recognisable as any of theirs, or indeed someone else’s. As a lit historian, it’s beyond me, sadly.

A lovely 🧵

Oklahoma’s culture warrior superintendent accused schools of “pushing pornography” for containing decidedly non-pornographic books like The Kite Runner. Now, he’s under investigation after allegedly playing a pornographic video on a TV in his office. https://trib.al/bzhf9cV

The only thing with a chance of defending higher ed is a network of organized faculty and staff. We're the ones who actually believe in our mission. Most admin and trustees don't. Those who do are welcome, but they are rare. It's only us. And a lot of us are already active. So if you're not, join!

Americans: •Cancel student debt! •Cancel medical debt! •Make insulin free! Most of Developed World: •What is student debt? •What is medical debt? •Insulin is already free! What GOP calls “socialism”—even conservative parties in most developed nations call a “human right.”

There’s another verb that starts with P that you *should* do to nazis.
