the way to beat the hedonic treadmill is to simply live beyond your means when you have little money, and then don't adjust when your income increases. grad school is good for this.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

This argument would not be any different if the victim were a US citizen: sorry we "accidentally" disappeared a citizen, but he's a foreign policy matter now. That is exactly the goal. They think they found an infinite gulag glitch that works on anyone, even citizens.

Rümeysa's legal team is coordinating a fundraiser for her and her family to help them deal with this crisis, including medical costs since ICE has kept Rümeysa from accessing all her medications. Please donate if you're able:

There’s a very good chance we’re headed for a recession. But there’s also a chance we narrowly avoid one, and I think it’s vitally important that we fan the flames of a vibecession in that case. We need the media’s negativity bias to work for us.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Literally just kidnapping people off the street. Should we start roaming gangs to beat the shit out of plains clothed cops or something?

This kills me because it was Republicans who spiked the Hunter Biden story! They wanted to spring it in October to repeat the 2016 surprise, so they held it. When it finally dropped press said no thanks we’ll get to it later. Not gonna dance on strings again. It could have been aired out in time!

Just found out NIH has officially canceled our grant, a longitudinal study of Alzheimer's disease in Black Americans. I cannot even put into words how angry I am. The truth is they are canceling it because it has Black in the title. That's it, there is no other reason to do this.

it's not the anti-war activists or muslim-americans who lost interest in the war after it no longer served as an issue to hurt democrats, it's the mainstream press.

Everyone involved in this atrocity down to the individual ICE agents is a criminal and must face justice.

Americans are in denial about the implications here because they wish it wasn't happening. But this is the behavior of a dictator. It's the sort of thing that warrants secession or revolution. The Republic is over the second federal funding is withheld pending a governor's personal apology.

It hasn't been lost on me that anti-war activists are still protesting the Gaza War just as actively since Trump's election but the mainstream media has stopped giving their protests attention now that it hurts Trump instead of Biden.

trump's argument is that he can order masked men who won't identify themselves to kidnap your children while you sleep and then sell them to die in slavery in a south american despot's concentration camp, and no person on earth can tell him not to

Please boycott my country and tell US airlines that you won’t waste money on a ticket to nowhere. Make the airlines lobby the administration to end this fascist madness. They will scream loudly when their lucrative international revenue dries up.

My dear friend’s niece, who in October developed sepsis when a Georgia hospital refused her a D&C after a miscarriage, will be taken off life support tomorrow. I don’t know the names of the countless others who have suffered and will suffered because of anti-abortion laws. But her name was Haley.

NEW: I emailed the band. “We broke up with him first. We quit Twitter in 2022 when he was only half a Nazi. Then someone else took our handle, pretending to be our official account, so we filed a legal complaint to put a stop to that—which is why @dropkickmurphys shows as suspended."

Every American skipping over this violation of the law, and assuming this happens to 'people who deserve it/are dodgy somehow,' should realize that there is jack-all stopping them from doing the same thing to you next, if you shrug off the rule of law for people on visas.

There are not. But the administration’s general strategy appears to be to confuse the public by asserting that even the clearest black-letter law is hotly contested so long as they can scrounge up some hack willing to pretend up is down.

Schumer is failing to condemn Cuomo, failing to condemn Adams, failing to condemn the unconstitutional arrest of a green card holder, and failing to condemn the defunding of university research — just days after he fucked the House and his party over to vote for Trump’s budget. Just unforgivable.
