Here we go. Not remotely surprised. Harvard, MIT, U of Vermont, Notre Dame, and Emory too. More will follow. Terrible news for those of us finishing our PhDs and looking for academic jobs. #AcademicSky #EduSky

Credit where credit is due these MAGA fellas upheld their end of the bargain after losing the bet. We miss the days where we all got along before this divisive, selfish con man came along 💔 #trumpsucks youtu.be/Tl4ggwyWEMI

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Older dem woman here, still canvassing and fighting. In 2004 I led my local Move On group while battling severe morning sickness so I can handle this with a touch of arthritis and hot flashes. Put me in, Coach

A reminder that Newsom is a desperate narcissist, constantly starved for attention. He should not be considered for one second as a viable 2028 candidate. P.S. You wouldn’t be able to find porn held in any 9-year old’s school library, anywhere in the US. Kirk’s claim is a lie, not a “fair point.”

Missouri has been running the pilot for Project 2025 for a couple of decades. With a GOP Supermajority, over 30% of our schools are on a four-day week. We fund vouchers for private religious schools. Our starting teachers are 50th in the nation for pay and they pay for their own supplies.

1/ The nascent Tesla boycott movement got me thinking back to the 80s anti-apartheid movement. How it took off and literally changed the world. If the South African apartheid regime could be brought down, perhaps one South African oligarch could be? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
