Is this the “civility” they’re looking for?

Yes

My dad first signed up for Twitter to follow live sports and he’s a freak about U of I. One day he said to me “Twitter is abuzz about Illini golf,” and I was like dude you only follow Illini sports accounts. And that’s how every reporter feels Charlie Kirk was the most important person in the world.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

I’m rooting for Sinner because it still makes me laugh when I remember how Pope Leo is a tennis fan and was really excited to meet one of his fave pro players whose name happens to be Sinner.

It's worse than ever in L.A. and it feels like the rest of America doesn't care. It will never not feel like insult upon grevious injury

Truth.

A tale of two vibes.

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

First it was troops in L.A., sent to provoke and assault peaceful protesters under the banner of “immigration enforcement.” Now it’s troops in our capital to disappear the homeless. See the pattern? Sooner or later, the monster comes for us all.

We have reached the point in the space-time continuum when South Park, Teen Vogue, and Anonymous are keeping me sane.

Speaking as a 56-year-old man I think you’re going to have problems swelling the ranks of ICE with 59-year-old men. Like I can probably leap out of a panel van in a Nazi suit to chase brown people in a Home Depot parking lot ONCE before my knees are going to give out and I’m on medical leave

Heh

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

“Because of the Trump administration’s resolution agreement w Brown University, aspiring students will be judged solely on their merits, not their race or sex,” Linda McMahon, the secretary of education, said when the Brown deal was announced, echoing similar comments she had made about Columbia.

You're so close

I’ve always believed that the political destiny of great nations has often turned on weak men’s reaction to the equivalent of “Jenny laughed when I asked her to the Spring Formal”

The 90s were a garbage decade for women and I will die on this hill.

These sweeping cuts, the most severe in UCLA’s history, threaten critical medical and scientific work, escalating President Trump’s crackdown on elite universities.

The massive list of suspended UCLA grants came out today: 300 NSF and 500 NIH grants. I am miraculously not on the list, but this is devastating. Science will be lost, progress will be frozen, people will lose jobs, and careers in science and medicine are being destroyed. This is not ok.

Me three months ago:

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to? HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Yes please

It really is shocking how slowly the disbarment wheels turn. See also John Eastman, which took way too long.

Faculty who wrote to defend their president and object to a DOJ investigation of their university...are now being investigated by the DOJ. The most banal defense of free speech and academic freedom will trigger the full wrath of the US government now. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/u...

Tennessee, man.

Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.
