I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better. kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/25/t...

if this is discrimination, I’m genuinely unsure what you’re supposed to do when a student responds to a prompt with some religious gibberish

These are the Fortune 500 companies that have active contracts with ICE www.yahoo.com/news/fortune...

Merchants of mass murder, selling weapons to enrich themselves. #weapons

We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work. “Son-in-law” is not a government job. Kushner does not represent us.

This poor graduate student (who was the course instructor), being harassed for doing their job.

That TA also wrote a great response explaining that the student didn’t follow the instructions, showed how the argument they did provide was basically contradictory, and even said the student is welcome to disagree with the readings. It wasn’t just “fuck you, bigot.” Maddening.

The first strike was also murder. You can’t just up and kill civilians on the high seas and then claim you were at war with them.

Trump just commuted the 7-year sentence of David Gentile, a private equity leader who helped defraud thousands of people out of some $1.6 billion, almost as soon as his prison stint began. "I lost my whole life savings," one person wrote, adding, "I am living from check to check."

Overt misogyny is the Trump fascist MAGA GOP cult brand. #BeAngryAmerica

Blowing up boats in the Caribbean isn't a war crime, it's murder. Hope that helps

Rural communities in Appalachia were on the verge of breaking ground on billions of dollars' worth of clean-energy projects when the grants were paused or terminated by DOGE. All over Appalachia people will be hit hard by cuts to Medicaid, veterans affairs, food aid, education & more.

The misogynist-in-chief has a long history of lashing out at women who dare challenge him. And now he's on a rage-filled downward spiral, taking much of his aggression out on female members of the media. In just a week he's called women piggy, a terrible person, ugly inside & out, and stupid. 🤬

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

We have both a Congress and a Supreme Court that is deeply skeptical of the administrative state, but unwilling to lift a finger to stop the weaponization of administrative systems to destroy the lives of immigrants.

At the end of the first Trump administration @pamherd.bsky.social and I wrote about the weaponization of burdens to target immigrants. It has gotten so much worse since then. academic.oup.com/ppmg/article...

If you are married to a US spouse, your temporary visa (usually for 3 months) will lapse before your case is processed. The government allowed you could stay in the US while awaiting case processing. Now the Trump admin is saying that is a visa overstay and arresting the spouses.

This was handed in for a PSYCH CLASS & when the prof said she didn't use empirical sources but rather submitted op-ed she whined about religious liberty + prof got suspended. I was a *Religious Studies* major; in my time she would have been rightly BBQ'd had she dared to hand in this absolute drek.

If you spend decades undermining a liberal arts education, you get college students who can't write a decent essay. But you also get adults who can't recognize a decent essay and sincerely think the issue is the beliefs and not that reading this is painful.

Love how this guy who constantly lies about everything, including basic numbers, is director of the National Economic Council and frontrunner for Fed Chairman. Lowest regular gas price by state is Oklahoma, $2.418. National average is $3.005. gasprices.aaa.com?state=US

Rather obvious, but absolutely no institution of education is going to survive if Turning Point is deciding their curriculum.

As a parent whose kids have to cross a road that cars turn onto to get to an expressway, I am ready to enlist as a foot soldier in your war on cars, Mr. Mayor.

We wanted to understand the legality of killing Venezuelan boaters without a trial or charges. So we talked to three unvaccinated Kid Rock fans at a Buc-ee’s in Amarillo.

Remember, They are just grifters, grifting the people of the United States. Don’t fall for the bs

In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Latin mass, biscuits and gravy at Bob Evans, and then down to the old marina to shoot a bunch of fishermen and claim they were running drugs. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

David Sacks’ role as President Donald Trump’s artificial intelligence and crypto czar could work out very well for his investments, according to a new report. However, Sacks fired back, calling the story a "nothing burger."

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

I took a minute to send a vitriolic e-mail to OU because I don't think anyone should make the calculation, "caving to the right gets us less shit."

Will Zohran's NYPD also intervene to prevent ICE watch direct actions?

A National Climate Service is the obvious answer here, but was always going to be a political hot potato. Seems further away than ever in the current administration bent on hollowing out the climate science expertise in the Federal government.

people are entitled to their religious freedom, but not to a passing grade in a university psychology course because you espouse poorly formulated Christian beliefs bsky.app/profile/kiss...

Absolute debasement of academic standards *student submits opinion in psych class *gets bad grade *instructor says she can make whatever arguments she wants but must draw on empirical sources *student & Turning Point says her religious freedom & first amendment rights violated *professor suspended

*laughs uncontrollably*

I'm sorry, I just want ONE DAMN TRAIN, damn the torpedoes. BUILD THE TRAIN. BUILD ONE HIGH SPEED TRAIN. We could be a real country. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Would the Supreme Court rule that taking a bribe for a pardon was an "official act" by the president and immune from prosecution? I'm serious. If Trump announced he was selling pardons for $1M a pop, could anyone do anything about it, short of impeachment? (Which carries no prison sentence.)

I can't imagine living my life with this little anxiety.

We have spent more than 1,000 years trying to separate the awesome prosecutorial powers of the state from the personal whims and vendettas of the head of state. Trump’s actions and ideology seek to reverse those gains. Here’s the history he’d like to reverse www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/the-oldest...

“One of those working most closely with Epstein, up to and including attempting to scrub his public image, was Bannon…Bannon, the man millions of MAGA fans trust to tell it like it is, stands revealed as one of the most cynical liars ever to mar this country.” www.thebulwark.com/p/steve-bann...

I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

How many of our national monuments and historical locations will we, the people, allow this pitiful excuse for a man to destroy before we say enough???? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

1/7. In the few years that my university tracked COVID-19 cases, we saw some of the biggest infection spikes after Thanksgiving break (see this article from 2021 for example). Seeing that data in those years made me think about the tradeoffs associated with having... www.npr.org/sections/cor...

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Kristi Noem is conclusive proof that the sort of person who would murder a dog in cold blood is *exactly* the sort of person you think they are

"Yes, we are invading blue cities."

Leopards, faces, etc.

this guy is betting on a future with accountability for today’s crimes, so we should too

A lot of people are pointing out that this guy is no prince among men and that JPMorgan Chase has done some stuff, and right—that’s what makes it so notable that this guy thinks there will be accountability for this stuff in the future. He believes this is the *strategic* choice. That’s revealing.
