It should come as no surprise that cis dudes are trying to tear down the WNBA at the same time as the Heritage Foundation is lobbying for the end of Title IX. Dudes are only okay with women having nice things as long as the women stay on the sideline and are seen as lesser.

In today's episode of Only Democrats Have Power or Agency we learn that the US could end the Iran War and lower the price of gas and cost of living if only Democrats wld just stay quiet about Trump's humiliating defeat in his war of choice.

I really don't think people get how badly Iran (w/China and Russia) could be preparing to fuck everything. Donald Trump has shot his wad, admitted it, and admitted he desperate. North Korea is sending another Army to Putin. Where do you think this is heading?

“For the first time in more than a decade, 2026 will see no women promoted to the US Navy’s admiral rank — even as women now account for one-quarter of all Navy officers, nearly one-third of the service’s midgrade ranks, and about 20 percent of the service overall.”

I remember watching this when it aired live in September, 1976, the Muppet Show's first season. I didn't know who Rita Moreno was, only that she was amazing. She won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program. Happy Sunday Funday! 🥵

Haverford College was founded as a Quaker school with a strong commitment to free speech. In May 1970, after Nixon's invasion of Cambodia and the shootings at Kent State and Jackson State, Haverford's president chartered buses so students and faculty could travel down to Washington to protest.

Haverford codifies antisemitism into campus policy, stipulating that fascism and genocide are intrinsic to Jewish nature.

Tweet thread from Barak Mendelsohn, self-described "College Professor. Author of "Jihadism Constrained" "The Al-Qaeda Franchise" and "Combating Jihadism". Proud Zionist, fighting antisemitism at Haverford College"

More details about the Haverford College antisemitism settlement:
1. Zionism is treated as an element of Jewish identity, not merely a political position. Total prohibition on discriminating against Zionists and Israelis, not just prohibition the traditional Jew hatred;  1/5

7. Establishment of antisemitism committee to advise and provide oversight. The college will not be able to manipulate its composition. It will provide annual report to the Board;
These are major achievements. And we will make sure the college keeps its commitments! 5/5

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.
