I am going to encourage my sons to do this.

"We will blow you out of existence," threatens man who claims he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

This is not a new insight, but it's very important to keep in mind when attempting to find coherence in Trump's and RFK Jr.'s statements.

Both Trump and RFK Jr. fundamentally believe that some people are more "fit," and thus deserve life and health more, than others. Their opposition to fundamental scientific evidence about the safety and efficacy of Tylenol and vaccines cannot be understood apart from this worldview.

Spotted on the DC Metro today! @propublica.org

Doesn’t matter if you teach it all as history.

I get the joke here, but please don't do this. The difference between us and MAGA conservatives is that we don't just make up stuff to fit our narrative. We must care about the truth, precisely because MAGA conservatives do not.

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

I’m going to shout it from the rooftops. Colbert should run for Senate in SC. He and his wife have deep roots. He’d crush Graham.

The thing about complying is that you get 0 credit for it. Your just as like to survive as a quite resister. So maybe don’t comply?

Trans comrades: they could not crush American Islam, Civil Rights, the American Indian Movement, and they will not crush you. You have countless allies and we are with you ready for anything. Their campaign of genocide will fail, and they will face justice in this life and the next for it.

Okay, a bit of a timeline cleanse. I just got around to reading @michaelianblack.bsky.social's A BETTER MAN: A (Mostly Serious) Letter to My Son. I enjoyed it. It was thoughtful and informed and honest. Worth the read.

Trans rights are human rights. Human rights are not negociable.

Just completely incapable of thinking or caring about anyone but himself.

*sigh*

the word “sloppycat” just popped into my head for people who try to ape actual specific human work using slop generators please feel free to use it

First they came for Bill Clinton, and I said, yes, that man is a sex pest, get him

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

One of my saltier opinions about higher ed is that people really shouldn't adjunct for any reason.

I am truly honored to be named a finalist for the National History Teacher of the Year with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History! 📚✨ Grateful for the chance to represent my students, community, and the power of history in shaping the future. #LocalHistoryMatters #HTOY

Underappreciated aspect of studying history is that it helps you see the long-term effects of decisions people make when they prioritize short-term preservation over genuine justice.

This is funny as shit and I admit I have the maturity of a 12 year-old

"Don’t get fancy. Stay composed, find holes, and respond to your matchup’s movements. Oh, and just know she’ll probably want you to take your helmet off.” theonion.com/andy-reid-ge...

For parents out there raising sons: raising them to be kind, caring souls, not broken, pathetic, violent thugs, is a radical act of resistance.

Americans should trust the people who lied that Roe v. Wade was "settled law."

supreme irony that the party of lincoln is now the party of taney

Sadly, no, not every single American has read these in school, and many could not tell you what both, or either, of them actually says.

Bouie ends the “real or a show?” debate by explaining that it’s both at once. It’s real, a show, and their vision for the future, one that isn’t in place though possibly could be if it keeps going. Don’t fall for the show and take the reality seriously, resisting the vision. All simultaneously.

A paragraph from this MIT study, which I read with my own two eyes, and you should, too.

You turned university into a conveyor belt to coding jobs by killing everything else it did and then you automated coding and it's the university's fault your kids learned to code, do I have that right

Try to imagine being so detested by millions upon millions of people that they look forward to your death with more yearning than any holiday.

one of the great conservative moves over the past decade has been to make themselves so unpleasant that their own family members are forced to cut them off, and then use that fact to argue that *liberals* are too uncivil

Same. Joni Ernst is an awful person and no one loves her.

I assume they mean "even more compromised than the Secretary of Defense."

Donald Trump and his fucking anti-trans misogynist shitweasels at the Department of Education have designated Arlington Public Schools "high-risk" because of its policies protecting trans students and is freezing millions of dollars that APS relies on. Fuck Donald Trump and the Dept. of Ed.

Ruin a book by adding Tom Clancy's to the title All Quiet on Tom Clancy's Western Front

The mantra for this era is "fuck you, make me."

"There was a free black man...who, for asking a gentleman that he worked for for the money he had earned, was put into gaol; and afterwards...was sent from Georgia, with false accusations, of an intention to set the gentleman's house on fire, and run away with his slaves."-Olaudah Equiano

It’s official. September 6th. From all across this nation. We march in D.C. Join us.

I've gone so far as to encourage students to take hand-written notes by letting them use them on their in-person, hand-written essay Midterm and Final. Hand-written notes, only. Nothing typed.

i'm actually a big believer in drafting by hand. i think it helps you think in a different way then typing on a screen

Always read @moiradonegan.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
