Honest question in the outsourcing / third-party servicing space: If a company has contracts with 10 different schools to market and recruit for nearly identical online degree programs, is there reason to worry about the company's impact or interference with competition between the programs?

Whether it's Joe Biden condemning the killing of Charlie Kirk in 2025 or Charlie Kirk calling for the killing of Joe Biden in 2024, both men have issued strong words about the other's killing.

a question I often find myself asking these days: "are these the moves of a movement that feels that it's winning or one desperately afraid that it's about to lose everything?"

So, what HBCU did Utah resident Tyler Robinson attend?

look i don't want to know what a g r o y p e r or whatever is, but i would like journalists writing for mainstream media to do their goddamn jobs and not shit themselves trying to get out the gate with the article equivalent of a "FIRST" comment

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

Not so gentle reminder that “transgender ideology” isn’t a thing - it’s a way of negating the existence of trans people

BRAZIL SUPREME COURT PANEL SENTENCES FORMER PRESIDENT JAIR BOLSONARO TO 27 YEARS AND 3 MONTHS IN PRISON IN COUP PLOT TRIAL

WTF is "transgender" ideology? That they should be allowed to exist?

doing a planned flyover downtown while the victims of Epstein do a presser is a choice

To gauge how it’s “working,” one would have to be clear on what the actual work is, which is not helping to educate children but rather to imbed these systems in a way that they cannot be removed, establish them as a source of truth, and destabilize labor.

It frankly boggles my mind that we have invented a computer that cannot do math.

www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202... “Basically by signing that policy,” he said, “they are signing death warrants.”

What’s happening is a lot of people who thought a little fascism just meant clearing out some undesirables and making the trains run on time are realizing that actually yes they too will be effected and it’s making them slightly nervous.

And here's the result of the wreckless chase through I St, medical and fire needed to respond

Now at the corner of K & 6th NE, massive ICE presence and arrest. Neighbors out in protest. (Reposted for correction.)

What it's really like: unmarked cars just chased two mopeds down residential I St NE, going the wrong way (it's a single lane, one-way). Blowing thru every stop sign and going dangerously fast past kids riding scooters and people walking dogs. The feds are in fact making the neighborhood less safe

I took PragerU's Oklahoma Teacher Certification Exam so you don't have to. Question highlights in this thread:

kind of fun to imagine the rest of the world flying their flags at 1.5 mast in reverse mourning though

I will never understand how American elites managed to convince themselves that uncivil debate — not fascism, not impunity and not widespread indifference to facts — is the defining problem of our time. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/o...

I saw this immediately after I closed a tab with the authoritarian threat index. The The U.S. remains at a dangerous 3.3/5 on their academic, expert, non partisan scale. Just do that you know.

It’s not one bad opinion writer… it’s the WHOLE EDITORIAL BOARD

this is a nice example of @ryanenos.bsky.social's point that when discussing Trump's authoritarian moves, we should start by discussing the *action* and ignore or refuse to take seriously the bullshit justification offered for it

Jesus. Pam Bondi just purported to replace the DC police chief and revoke guidance from earlier today that instructed police to continue to comply with DC’s sanctuary laws — laws duly passed by our city council, elected by our voters. Even more radical than we’d feared.

Whatever happens in the courts, this is a worrying moment for residents of the nation's capitol. A politicized law enforcement apparatus is seizing control over local police and demanding that the will of the voters be tossed aside.

The biggest concern I have about this is most other courts have (correctly) interpreted that faculty classroom speech is protected which means this will move its way to scotus. Hooray.

Using taxpayer money in 2025 to promote fascism, set to a soundtrack in a Black musical genre that sought to give voice to the experience of racist police violence in the 1970s and 80s is [chefs kiss] bsky.app/profile/reic...

Cringey a** criminal waste of public funds

Also shows why florid doomerism and immediately folding to regime demands are both effectively a form of collaborationism.

Incredible promotional name for a new sub just dropped: The Deep State.

Not all heroes write briefs.

"is there language teaching that we can do via ChatGPT" is the last thing you hear before you die

If only there were a federal office devoted to enforcement or even protecting people from such fraud to begin with! www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

my moment has arrived

Every federal law enforcement agency involved needs its budget zeroed and all employee benefits revoked. They obviously don't have real work to do. If they did, they'd be complaining, individually or through their unions, about being tasked to harass minorities on the street. But they aren't.

[Every day of Trump's presidencies] NPR REPORTER: Today, President Trump introduced a "bone tax," where every registered Democrat has to donate at least three bones to the newly founded National Bone Bank. Can he do this? LEGAL SCHOLAR: *chuckling mildly* Well it's certainly an unusual idea,

Eerily quiet to the point of creepy ghost town vibes on my PM dog walk through Trinidad tonight

The way John Brown caught hold of this man's whole soul

NEW — I’ve learned members of the DC National Guard were told they were being activated via a mass text message sent with no warning this evening, less than 24 hours before they were expected to show up. Here is the full text of the message, shared with me by a DCNG source:

Does the plain view doctrine allow Federal agents to roam neighborhoods shining flashlights into vehicles while pressing their faces to windows? That is what Secret Service and FBI agents are doing tonight in NE DC with support from MPD.

FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating: *foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets *foreign and domestic terrorist threats *crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others) Do you feel safer?

This was twenty-one months ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 15,070 kids since.

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

pure gestapo shit man

Now THIS is what a person with a PhD sounds like

An even bigger deal: it appears that all federal grant announcements are frozen until a new review process is developed.
