So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

This is huge, especially making this decision without a permanent exec director. But, the finances are the finances. Hopefully, everyone realizes that assocs are what we make them. My beloved SLA is working on a merger to avoid dissolution. It's a painful time in libraries for many reasons.

Except they aren't girls. These are grown men. Let's stop feminizing overly emotional men who can't keep it together. The women are doing just fine.

DEAN: Did your department have any worry about the president growing his own business while on the job? LUTNICK: My trip to the Middle East was extraordinary. It was amazing. DEAN: I'm sure. I'm asking you, did the question of conflict of interest come up? LUTNICK: No DEAN: It is grotesque

The Klan and ICE agents both were masks—and they do so for the same reason. Neither wants to be identified so they can’t be held accountable for their crimes. My article on why ICE agents should be barred from wearing masks deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/ice-agents...

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

Medicaid is NOT just for poor people. It is for EVERYBODY. Every residency program in America is funded by Medicaid. Hospitals are NONPROFITS. They receive funding from Medicaid & Medicare. If you live in a small town, you’re fucked especially because guess what upholds rural healthcare? Medicaid.

Trump has nothing on his public schedule again today..... maybe after the report that he's taking classified intelligence briefings only about once a week and all the bullshit back and forth with tariffs, Susie Wiles decided to take the senile grandpa off the board. Who's working the autopen now?

This feels like the downstream effect of several different things: the way we taught reading to Gen Z, the way fun reading is rarely a thing in school anymore, them growing up with devices as the default, young adults not learning how to parent from older community members, etc.

I'm really tired of the narrative that Trump voters were somehow bamboozled by the media. If that's the case, how did 48 percent of the voting public manage to get accurate info about Trump's policies?
