Ultimately, the death of US manufacturing is about this attitude. It's easy to say "buy american or stfu" because virtue signaling is free. But it's hard to actually sustain a business because many Americans simply don't want to pay what it costs to produce things ethically in this country

My dude is cutting quite the figure.

Not only is this explanation great, I also know 5,271,009 people whose lives would be changed for the better by taking it on board.

Remember the woman who claimed this about the cartoon girl and her dog in a boat during the North Carolina floods? Well, it turns out she’s not alone.

Being in DC for a few days and it’s so hard to keep moving forward like everything is normal. It’s so much aside to ignore everything when you’re 1500 miles away from the center.

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

Argentina gets $20 billion, Qatar gets an airbase in Iowa, while our soldiers are being fed by food banks. Orgs like Army Emergency Relief are stepping in amidst Trump’s shutdown, and you can make a donation at any of the links in this thread:

Listen, I’m just an average Joe college media professor, but if you’re going to get four secretaries of state to discuss a big issue like this, don’t you need more lead time and promotion than like 24 hours?

Is it illegal to to use the justice department to harass people? In four years, can we charge Lindsey Halligan with something?

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

"where's the left media?" "where's fact-checked reporting?" lately @teenvogue.com has run profiles: of Assata Shakur's revolutionary history; a 23-year-old Palestinian journalist; what's happening in Chicago's ICE protests; and organizing supporting LGBTQ+ youth 📍 www.teenvogue.com/news-politics

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown. Please go to my website for more information: www.sanders.senate.gov/resources-fo...

Republicans will say he’s just joking. Media will say it’s just Trump. But if it was any other President, we’d taking him seriously, and we should here too.

Can a journalist please ask him what the alternative is? Just letting since immigrants die on the front steps of the hospital? Legal status aside, that’s morally repugnant and someone should make him own it.

Hey! I grew up in a coal mining town, so I know how this story ends. And I don’t think people are gonna like it!

But, was that message poll tested?

MYTH: “The President stood in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shot [somebody].” FACT: It was East 57th Street, the President was on the sidewalk, and there were multiple targets.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

(taps mic) Bari Weiss is practicing politics the right way

Texas voters need to start contacting our electeds.

Linked to this yesterday, but I am re-upping today because this is the best piece of practical research I have seen lately. It deals with what's gone wrong in political coverage.

Part of the reason Trump et al. are unlikely to pay for these obviously crimes is because the press corps personally likes them. So, if the next president comes in and tries to hold people accountable, there will be a collective gasp from the press about the fall of democracy.

I’m glad someone is keeping it classy.

Where are the first amendment warriors now?

“But framing science as a debate to be won makes it easy to paint established scientists as opponents who must be overcome. And one of the easiest ways to win the debate is to suggest scientists are either self-satisfied elites who won’t consider new ideas or … “ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/o...

Did I miss where George Floyd was as a podcaster and “provocateur” before his death? Like, how is an ordinary guy “controversial” before his death?

A lot of tech bros who were upset about pronouns want to confer them on their computers now that they’re dating

All across the country, as faculty rights and freedoms are under attack, @aaup.org is really stepping into the breach. If you teach in higher ed and aren't a member, please consider joining.

am i the only person who cares about housing prices? is this like a niche political interest or something?

“A surprise”

Tell me with a straight face he's wrong here

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

This cannot be fucking real! Let’s get new leadership. #loserparty

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

I hate to be this way but unless some people in government grow a flipping backbone we have like 3-plus more years of this. At absolute minimum, we have 15 more months.

Literally was having this discussion with my class today about CEOs. (But we were talking about Marxist definitions.)

About to be the family that owns TikTok.

It’s results-ism and a general belief that you can’t ever fix the structural system. Screw what the majority (or near majority wants) if the country is gerrymandered to hell and the electoral college stands in the way.

Reading @gqmagazine.bsky.social’s masculinity issue really underscores why Pete Buttigieg was, is and always will be full of shit.

We must not let celebration temper our vigilance. 🔗 dallasobserver.com/opinion/jimmy-kimmel-is-back-but-dont-get-complacent-40600533/ 

Curious what specific work(s) point 2 is talking about? 👀

This is true, but if you primarily see colleges as diploma mills, expertise doesn’t matter because college is just a series of hoops to jump through.

🤷🏿‍♂️

WHAT?!?!? 49!?

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

The 3 victims were ICE detainees not ICE agents.

Scroll through this timeline. You have: Ken Paxton, JD Vance and Kristi Noem all posting about this as a target on ICE/police while the actual story is that a sniper shot 3 individuals that were detained by ICE and then killed himself.
