Universities work largely because people on average, give more than they receive. They commit unpaid service to the institution, the wider communities in which they reside and the academic communities in which they work and study. Making everything transactional breaks this and society is weakened.

No U.S. paper will ever run a headline like this, even though it is a completely accurate statement that informs the reader.

Stephen Miller, reactionary ideologue and white supremacist, promoted head of Trump administration

The pedophile fixer unsurprisingly misunderstands his job description.

AG Todd Blanche: "You have Garcia minutes after Stephen Miller was promoted to chief of staff telling him to 'lawyer up.' Well I'll tell you what. Stephen Miller has a lawyer. It's me."

If some of these people had the courage and integrity to say these things BEFORE they lost, maybe they would have fared better. But they didn’t. Bye.

you’re laughing? they just made it harder to identify divorced sex pests on the road and you’re laughing

You can tell AI is a very real industry by the way it implodes unless a sympathetic political party has totally unchecked power

Lmao at the thought of Trump having shame

It’s been reported that Trump is considering resigning rather than facing potential impeachment proceedings.

Wrong. He said it would be over after a week of bombing. Said the people would rise up, there would be regime change, a pro-US Iranian govt would take power, and we would make tons of money from Iran’s oil just like Venezuela. That’s EXACTLY what he said was going to happen. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Lara Trump on Iran: "I think you had to give President Trump a lot of credit. He knew this was a political loser for him and he did it anyway."

Remember that the DOGE guys literally just showed up at federal buildings with zero authority or authorization and started demanding shit. It's not good for society or our government to let that kind of thing pass without consequence.

Becca@sciencelizard.bsky.social · 6d ago

I think we can go for retribution against DOGE. It's most important to pass laws so that never happens again. It's also important that the personal lives of actual people who did that are at least as disrupted as every civil servant who lost their job based on some spiteful child's idea of the lulz

it's not that Dems and leftists need to be assholes, or dirtbags. It's that we have to end the bogus and self-defeating worship of civility. Uncivil people don't deserve civility. When someone advocates for politics of bigotry, cruelty and murder the proper response is to fuck them up.

From @frederickmelo.bsky.social:

2024-2026 will be remembered as one of the stupidest national hysterias of all time a supposedly generational "vibe shift" completely disintegrated upon contact with Actual Republican Governance

has the New York Times announced the roster of new progressive columnists they're bringing on board, the restructuring and creation of new verticals, and other dramatic steps they're taking to reflect the Real America they didn't properly understand or nah?

Impeaching Hegseth would be cool and all but I’d prefer we stick him on a fishing boat in the Caribbean and blow that shit up. Then take no questions and move on with our lives.

Vance is absolutely gonna try to pretend like he wasn’t the part of this administration, and a cheerleader for everything it did.

This Vance post. The Trump era is over.

Has anyone bothered to check in on TexAgs yet and see how it’s going over there?

Sen. Warnock was just asked on CNN if Dems will focus on costs *or* corruption, and he responded "We can walk & chew gum at the same time." Hell yes, that is the message.

Haven’t been this hyper-focused on Mississippi since:

Very apolitical Kirk Herbstreit is using some poor dog as a knee pillow to soothe himself to sleep tonight

Maybe Americans expected more from their government than bombing an elementary school then refusing to take responsibility for it or even acknowledge it.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most people will see in a lifetime, only to lose a Senate race in Texas by double digits. This is a reminder that we must overturn Citizens United. But it's also a reminder that organized people can still defeat organized money.

This is going so well that I’m in Ohio eating the cats and the dogs

The manosphere, tech dorks, and comedians whose use of the r word was central to their routine that all fled to Texas are going to wake up in Woke 2.0 HQ tomorrow morning.
