If it is a Memorial Center, does that mean that...........

The velocity of my eye rolling right now. What is Liz Plank thinking here?

Yup: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/15/o...

lol what Mitt may be beginning to understand is that sailing on big yachts when people can't find afford eggs is bad optics. And the road from bad optics to violence is paved by history.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Gotta learn more about John! I have heard that he’s a Brown grad, might be housing insecure & staying in the Barris & Holley building, which might (sorta?) explain his confronting the guy in its bathroom for looking unfamiliar.

Enjoyed that Col. Perez of the Prov PD took a question in Spanish & answered it in Spanish. ASL interpreter was just like “he’s still speaking, not English.”

Glad the Brown shooter has been found dead. The Boston FBI agent speaking now did not mention the MIT killing, so that’s still an unknown.

The suspect in the Brown University shooting has been found dead in Salem, New Hampshire, according to two law enforcement officials. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/18/m...

fascism seeks to convince its victims they have been defeated in advance. stay aware of the state’s behavior, but remember it’s motivations.

The work of @altassdeans.bsky.social I suspect

Staring at this makes me more sad. My brother lives in the blue box, my kid visited friends in there, and I once went thru having persuaded my husband to walk w me from Gansett to McBride’s. Once.

For a more realistic take on discrimination in the workplace, might I suggest my once again relevant articles.

This post inspired me to find & follow @sandydarity.bsky.social, bc as he said on the bad place, reparations need to be federal. (Someday 🤞🏼)

lol Newsom out here applauding a man who facilitated the one of largest transfers of wealth to the 1%, demonized the marginalized, popularized the welfare queen trope, and ignored the AIDS epidemic. Ronald Reagan's definition of "good and decent people" excluded anyone who wasn't a WASP. FOH.

I did it! Looked away, did not faint, now recovering with cookies.

Another way to restart the world’s idea machine is to restore funding and grants to universities, researchers, and artists.

Self care 🚨 Go(ing) to bed!

The President Who Doesn’t Care if You Live or Die has issued another statement for the holiday season

1. Private equity profiteers everything, ruining it 2. People mad, want to burn everything down 3. Private equity funds Republican candidates blaming immigrants 4. Dems say we must not demonize their wealthy friends in private equity & they also hate immigrants 5. 2024 happens

My brother lives on Pitman!

The day it happens, nobody better be out here policing all the jokes and laughs we’re gonna get off. Understand?

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

In 1931 in Kiel, Germany, Rachel Posner, the wife of a rabbi, took this picture. On the back of the photograph she wrote: “‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says. ‘Judah lives forever,’ so the light answers.” The light will continue to answer the darkness. Happy Hanukkah.

I am a fainting chicken, but I signed up to donate on Tuesday.

reminder that when trump met with the parkland kids after their school was shot up he needed a staff-written cheat sheet to coach him on how to look like he possessed normal human empathy www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018...

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns. The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Neighbors, our community has suffered a terrible tragedy. My heart breaks for the students who lost their lives to senseless gun violence and their families - and all in our community affected.

I feel tremendous sadness. But not a lot of surprise.

Zoe Weissman - survivor of 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, FL Mia Tretta - survivor of 2019 Saugus High School shooting in Santa Clarita, CA Both are now students at Brown University in Providence, RI.

AS A PROFESSOR, I AM ASKING HOW ARE OUR STUDENTS SUPPOSED TO LEARN IN THESE CONDITIONS? HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO TO SCHOOL AND TAKE EXAMS KNOWING SOMEONE MIGHT JUST SHOW UP WITH AN EASY TO ACQUIRE AUTOMATIC WEAPON? HOW??????????

The goal of the Trump administration is an ethnic cleansing that is actively being enacted, and that promises to destroy the diversity & freedoms that were ever the strength of this imperfect nation. My latest in @theguardian.com. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Okay (she said to herself) Back To It.

Well Said (2+3), & reminds me of a fave meme.

Someone posted yesterday about doing everything except grading exams. I'm replying although I lost it: YUP. I just changed 4 printer ink cartridges, read administrative memos, and yesterday I even EXERCISED.

They like Trump and want to help him. They have pre-written "THE COMEBACK KID" narratives ready to break out of he crosses back over 40% approval for a couple polls, not to report a narrative but to try and change it

This is your annual reminder that if you are in the US and have FSA funds that you won't use, Menstrual products are covered by FSA funds and can be donated to food pantries and shelters.

IF I MAY BE SERIOUS: if Trump really wanted to reduce immigration, he’d try reducing wars and climate change—both of which increase migration and refugees. As you were.

Mary Oliver joins BlueSky

I allege that Garrett Michael Berna, a licensed mental health counselor out of West Brookfield MA & practicing in Newton MA (lic. #LMHC10304), is dead certainly a member of Patriot Front and the New England Active Club. He's likely been active with both organizations since April 2024, if not before.

Impressive Year In Review from economicprogressri.org. Somebody get them to join the movement from Xitter to BlueSky.

Remember Car Talk, where you call two guys with your car problems and get advice to fix it? Me and Max Miller are starting a show that's like a "Car Talk" for the messed up economy. First? SURVEILLANCE AT WORK. We got the best expert for it. Submit questions by next Thursday!

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Amazing to see that our new HR policy on discrimination and harassment concedes that "alienation, isolation" do in fact constitute a "poisoned work environment." Unclear how any work can now be done without the abolition of capitalism.

REALLY Walt?!

immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
