It's not even a morality issue---it's an equity issue. In essence, about half the student body has to manage the prospect that approaching the professor for help, professional advice, guidance, or feedback is going to go sideways. Women in his classes are not getting the same class.

I know that at this point it's a subplot in the Epstein files drama, but I feel compelled to point out, once again, that Larry Summers HAS NO BUSINESS teaching students at ANY university ever again! My latest cries into the abyss, in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Maybe you can join us calling your Representative in Congress and ask if there is any chance they'll draft articles of impeachment?

It's just so ridiculous. How are you going to solve any problems if you keep phrasing it as a massive accomplishment that you got one step closer to making illegal something that should have never been legal in the first place?

If I have to hear these members of congress one more time go on about the stock trading ban they somehow managed to not pass for years despite massive and overwhelming support, my head is going to explode.

The stakes are too high to wait: we need to impeach Trump now. I’ll be speaking at the Remove the Regime rally in Washington, DC this Saturday. I hope to see you there! @flareusa.bsky.social @removalcoalition.bsky.social

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

I would like to share something. A year ago, Trump won and I was furious and scared so I sent a text to a few of local women I knew and asked them to join me at a meeting and invite like-minded women they knew. A few showed up, then a few more. We became a group called The Salon and we meet monthly

The US needs to be removed from any and all negotiations involving Ukraine. Under Trump it is a proxy of Russia. World leaders, especially Europeans, need to regain independence of their national defence.

BREAKING: The FBI trainee that was fired for displaying a Pride Flag is SUING the government, saying his removal was illegal www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...

🚨BREAKING: Federal prosecutors admitted Wednesday that the grand jury handling the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey never reviewed or voted on the final indictment used to charge him — a virtually unprecedented revelation that could topple the entire case.

It helps a lot that James Comey isn't sitting in pretrial lockup and can help plan his defense with his lawyers. Too many people never get the point where the jury feels like an option.

"Trump II administration figures often speak the language of merit in order to contrast it to 'DEI' or 'affirmative action,' but in practice they only hire incompetent clowns—so long as they are also loyal clowns." - @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com

mainstream consensus, 2025 January 1-September 9: Democrats must move right because of 2024 September 10-September 30: Democrats must move right to honor Charlie Kirk October 1-November 4: Democrats must move right to distance themselves from Mamdani November 5-Present: Democrats must move right

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble. A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments. We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

C'mon guys. Gaslighting is not gonna make Democrats any more popular.

JFC! Can you at least pretend that you stand for something? Anything? (other than focusgrouped talking points)

That *REALLY* isn't the point. Christ sake man, we have to set the fucking bar somewhere and if "notorious sex trafficker directing your actions during a hearing " isn't the floor, what the hell is?

Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.” Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

trump can literally call for the execution of reporters because the press corps will just bow their heads and say "yes mr trump, whatever you say mr trump, yes its the gulf of america and department of war mr trump, now can i please get a scoop for my book sir?" theyre useless

Epstein isn't the only sex trafficker with alleged ties to Trump www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

How Republicans became shameless hypocrites www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Folks are (very rightly) calling out the hypocrisy of allowing the Department of War to post videos of them literally killing people and threatening to kill more. I would also like to point out that this outright lie that endangers the lives of trans people & advocates has remained up for 2 months.

So known sex traffickers are allowed to disappear women in unmarked vans because they sign up for ICE, do I have that right? WTF !?

Once a popular dessert (or breakfast) across the country, Indian Pudding is rarely seen outside of New England today but it deserves a comeback. youtu.be/RMSV5PVOA7Y?...

we have got to destroy ICE and salt the earth I will not vote for any federal candidate who doesn’t vow to abolish ICE I will not vote for any state or local candidate who doesn’t agree to fight ICE

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Epstein survivor: "Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government still belongs to the American people or to those who prey on them."

America can't be fascist because I'm not doing anything about it

They hate Mamdani so much that they're revealing they liked NYC better when it was Zionist spies using the city as a pedophilia playground and that that was part of the appeal for them.

epstein emails released and everyone coming out as a pedophile to defend donald trump

I've seen a fair amount of "if you take a nuanced approach/give them the benefit of the doubt/provide lots and lots of context" in defense of both the New York Times and the national Democratic Party and I guess my question is, what have either done in the last decade to earn that?

somehow, there's always room for fascists

Quiet, piggy.

We're at the next stag of the authors' lawsuit against Anthropic. Check the link below to see which of your books they raided and then click through to file a claim. Four of mine were in there.

It turns out that the folks at Anthropic used two of my books to train their Large Language Models. I've gone and submitted my claim via the class action settlement. If you're an author whose work has been stolen, you should too

Elon is so done with politics that he's throwing a DOGE reunion party at a swanky hotel in Austin this weekend and dumping millions into GOP PACs. Now imagine what happens if he's a trillionaire. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/u...

Courts already said Elon can pay people to vote so I dunno how you put that toothpaste back in the tube except to bankrupt them all. Drive them into poverty with taxation. Force them to retreat to the wood and become one more of the land. Make this motherfucker whittle something.

When Texas tried to steal 5 seats, I said to watch the litigation my law firm had filed because we had a good chance of winning in court. Today a federal court BLOCKED THE MAP.

"Deutsche Autos galten lange als der Inbegriff von Spitzentechnologie und waren weltweit gefragt. Bei der Emobilität sind sie inzwischen Nachzügler. Die hiesigen Autobosse hielten zu lange am Verbrenner fest, weil sie immer noch höhere Gewinne einfahren." Scheitern mit Ansage.

if you're wondering why we don't see as much gaza despite the steady trickle of reports that israel continued strikes throughout the "ceasefire," it's because they deliberately killed most of the journalists in palestine
