YES! Exactly this.

From Zelenskyy's letter to Putin, published tonight. A remarkable document. "Whatever you may say about NATO, geopolitics, or the Russian language, this war is your personal choice — a war without a real cause. That is how history will remember it. Those years could have been very different."

If my math is right, the crime rate for pardoned insurrectionists is roughly three times higher than that of immigrants.

Half of surveyed Texas Tech faculty changed course content on their own after the chancellor's memos restricting teaching on race, gender, and sexuality. More than half say they're now looking for other jobs as a result of the memos. #HigherEd @chronicle.com www.chronicle.com/article/half...

Who shapes the way history is taught in schools? AHA director of teaching and learning Brendan Gillis spoke with the Houston Chronicle about proposed changes to Texas social studies standards being pushed by groups outside the state. “What we're seeing in Texas is not homegrown history.” 🗃️

In a statement to @benmullin.bsky.social, Scott Pelley disputes what Bari Weiss said in this morning's editorial meeting, claiming he was never offered "a way back" as she claimed. "These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is antithetical to everything we stand for..."

So this is happening!

BIG NEWS out of New Jersey. Rebecca Bennett just WON the NJ-07 Democratic Primary. VoteVets invested a total of $1 million into the race, creating an incredible ad that featured her Navy co-pilot Jeff Lindbom. THIS is how we win: strong candidates, sharp messages, and authentic messengers.

Big yikes at "S.J.S.U.’s A.I. Everywhere strategy."

Hegseth is a neo-Confederate, Christian nationalist, misogynist, anti-LGBTQIA+ bigot. So yeah, he doesn't want people of color or women or anyone not like him in the higher ranks, or the military. This is just racism, y'all, he's not that deep. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

Mullin pauses being a cruel AH to Delaney Hall detainees who don't want to eat worms ("this isn't Holiday Inn") long enough to be a vengeful AH who is "shockingly naive or dumb." His stupid plan to hurt blue cities via their airports leaves 🤡's track record of hiring cruel, incompetent ppl intact.

Sometimes you just gotta burn shit down, literally or figuratively, every day that‘s more clear

Florida has become the first state to file a lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging ChatGPT could harm users.

I find it moving that Lynch's legacy in the queer community is now forever tied to the phrase "fix your hearts or die". It has become a rallying cry. It is bigger than him. It is bigger than Twin Peaks. It is beautiful.

Horrific. Disgusting.

I love this! It's what our federal government should be doing to commemorate the semiquincentennial...🫤 ... but they don't have the foggiest idea about what that word means or the event's importance: an opportunity to express pride but to work towards a better future for ALL Americans, and the 🌎

Love the solidarity and I had no idea about the history here "in a testament to an enduring relationship forged during the miners’ strikes of the 1980s, this year’s [Durham Pride] has returned bigger than ever, thanks to funding from trade unions."

It is "unionize or die" time in American higher ed. Yes, that means you and your special work. I don't care if you're "not political," because our enemies are very political.

Kevin McCarthy went on Bill Maher to cry that investigators checked his phone records after January 6. Katy Tur shuts him down: They didn't get the information in your conversations. It was just the calls that were made between you and the White House.
