one of the great, pernicious myths perpetrated about higher ed—which media, higher ed administrators, politicians, and a number of faculty are complicit in spreading—is that humanities departments close due to some combination of cratering student demand and unjustifiable cost. It’s not true

This Hanukkah sucks so far 🥺

We are stronger together. Because the people who hate Jews also hate Black people. And the people who hate Black people also hate Jews. It is the same hatred.

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly: - DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems - Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.

So basically what they're doing is delaying (indefinitely?) implementation of a couple of rules from the Biden administration that were going to make it easier for dual-eligible people to maintain the Medicaid (and MSP) coverage we are eligible for. Source: www.kff.org/medicaid/iss...

“As someone born and raised in Cecil County, she recalls watching the Ku Klux Klan walk in the North East Christmas parade as a child in the early 1990s.” The early 1990s??

The gop will do this, but then also act like a poor kid on foodstamps buying a candy bar is the free loading that's ruining this country Smh

Inspired by an exchange here yesterday, I wrote up a short piece at CAMPAIGN TRAILS about an infamous Lee Atwater quotation that just about everyone gets wrong.

I love "be normal" and "be less judgmental" right next to each other.

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.

“Save the smokestack” lmao look at that fake petition rendering of what the area actually looks like NIMBYism for polluting infrastructure Fairfield County is incredible

Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower, But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief, So Dawn goes down to Day. Nothing gold can stay. -Robert Frost

It’s weird that news organizations like the BBC are covering this as if it’s a real thing with a real process behind it—and not clearly some nakedly invented “participation trophy” by a corrupt organization to curry favor with a corrupt and easily manipulated man-child. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

This one in particular resonates with me because I love pomegranates!! That’s a very low wage for the work.

“It has been heartbreaking to see legacy Jewish institutions stoke the flames of Islamophobia… motivated by perverse logic that they can only secure safety of Jewish Americans at the expense of our Muslim brothers & sisters, as if dignity were a zero-sum game.” www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2025...

The windchill here is -4 degrees and I’m waiting for the bus. As I blink through the ice shards blowing into my eyeballs at 30 mph, I think about how glad I am they took the bus shelter down. At least the unhoused will have cause to reflect on how little they contributed to the economy.

You know who else shot a bunch of people and then went back and shot them again

once again, "the supreme court will act as a bunch of partisan republican hacks" is the single most accurate heuristic for predicting its behavior, putting any coherent legal theory to shame because fuck you, that's why

Never believe the fuckers who say "why bother, they already won"

Not only did my husband bring home flowers, he put the flower food into the water when he got home. That’s good home training 😍 #Newlywedlife

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

Jeff Jacoby's been a shanda my whole life - the Republican, conservative, racist, NIMBY Jewish Globe columnist. And yet somehow, ICE went too far for him.

NYT: Is the President tired? Ms. Leavitt: Would a weary President be able to deliver a racist rant like that one?

Judge Howell's decision begins by clarifying a piece of constant misinformation coming out of the Trump admin: "[V]iewing all immigrants potentially subject to removal as criminals is, as a legal matter, plain wrong."

The vengeful corpse of Joan Didion just rose from eternal slumber to slap this writer in the face.

Shoutout to my fellow 12-steppers and others in recovery as we enter the dark heart of the Holiday Triangle and its advent calendar of triggers. You're not alone, you're worth the trouble, one day at a time.

In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of food stamps are employed, half of them full-time. Nearly 2,500 work for Amazon and another 2,300 work for Walmart. Uber, DoorDash and Tempus Unlimited each have more than 1,400 workers who rely on SNAP www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

Reminder that the Trump regime still hasn't told us if border czar Tom Homan kept the $50,000 he took in an undercover bribery sting that was shut down by Trump's DOJ. They haven't even told us if Homan paid taxes on the $50,000 in taxpayer money he shouldn't have taken in the first place.
