Republicans call Democrats communists the way toddlers call every vegetable broccoli.

just emailed both my fall classes to tell them not to use my institution's price-gouging and unreliable bookstore. Encouraged them to use bookstore.org, which donates a portion of proceedings to independent bookstores. My small resistance for 10 am.

I'm sure the "prayer" helped: chicken-shit. Maybe it was the "reflection" that did it......
Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · 11h agoAnother GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.
The BBC hate us so much that they only had me on Question Time 38 times and have had Zia Yusuf on 8 times in less than two years, despite the fact that nobody even voted for him. Now that's what I call bias.
States with the lowest literacy rates shouldn’t be banning books, they should be reading them

Donald Trump has used up almost all of the United States’ long-range missiles to increase all of the United States’ gas prices. He’s smart that way.
Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
Amazing what "prayer and reflection" can achieve! Personally, prefer just "reflection". It works better.

Trump does it every time :screws the worker and gives a hand-out to the rich. When will America learn.
