Question for those advocating that colleges be “neutral” on political topics: Do you believe Columbia University should not take a stance on whether the United States should revoke its students visas or green cards based on the administration’s hostility towards their speech? Cc: thefire.org

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About

American libs seem to think Canada is running for fucking president 🙄 Yes, how will Canada win ocer crucial swing voters if they don’t tighten up their messaging

Pulitzer Feeling Increasingly Out Of Place In Washington Post Office

Something about listening when people tell you who they are.

Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.

If you aren't sure if a poster is being sarcastic, DO: • Click on their profile and skim their other posts for more context • Ask "Are you being sarcastic?" DO NOT: • Immediately post an accusatory, outraged reply • Demand the poster refrain from employing a popular, well-worn mode of expression

An unvaccinated school-age child has died of measles in West Texas, the first known death from an outbreak of the disease that is spreading in the state and in neighboring New Mexico, officials said on Wednesday. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

When individuals and publications labor to construct the intellectual and moral justifications for genocide, I think they should be treated like people doing that.

Consequential day for litigation: - Judge in WA blocks Trump's indefinite suspension of the refugee program. - Judge in DC grants motion to enforce TRO, requires USAID to pay out anything required prior to Feb. 13 by tomorrow - Judge in DC converts a TRO blocking OMB funding freeze to a longer PI.

The "trolling" is also part of the point. It allows them to insist they're not doing what they're actually doing, until it's too late, and then they admit "of course that's what we're doing." Just like the "we're not doing Project 2025" -> election -> "of course we're doing Project 2025."

These IS5 buffs are getting out of hand #arknights

The thing about super rich people is that they famously don’t care about money, excellent point

All we’re asking is that you treat the Republicans at least as harshly as a staffer who got a coffee order wrong.

In addition to being civic degenerates these people are in every case infantile, sloppy and incompetent. Grand flourishes of performative cruelty followed by entitled pleas of "I don't know how to do this. Can you help?"

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

Hey @kenwhite.bsky.social – just to clarify, in the event of a crash like this, the correct thing to do is immediately go online to announce that the accident was 100% your fault and you're completely unharmed, right?

New type of U.S. Treasury default just dropped: the fascist clowns in charge accidentally/intentionally declaring some of the debt invalid. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Wired’s coverage these last two weeks has been exceptional. Truly the best kind of reporting. A worthy place for your subscription dollars.

Tired: Who Funds The Federalist Wired: Who Fondles At The Federalist

Trump’s people are going to waste a HUGE amount of time trying to suppress any visible sign of dissent because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity.

This is the 23 year old who currently has access to the entire Treasury payment system, by the way.

I love that these complete morons assumed we were sending palettes of cash to countries and not sending things like rice and wheat while paying American farmers for those goods

this appears to be based entirely on subscriptions for Politico Pro that many govt agencies pay for. but it doesn't matter, this is now fact for roughly half the country for eternity and will be used to do whatever they want.

"free speech," "antitrust reform," "reining in big tech," "state rights," etc etc etc etc (though honestly it was pretty obvious these were all hollow long before now)

NEW: Shortly after being sworn into office on Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi went from the Oval Office to the Justice Department to do President Donald Trump’s bidding. In a series of orders, Bondi made clear, sometimes explicitly, that the independence of the Justice Department is gone.

But her emails? Wrote about the absolute scandal that is the CIA passing names of ALL hires from the past two years in an unclassified email as demanded by the White House. It looks like they did so because they (again) misunderstood "diversity" www.techdirt.com/2025/02/06/b...

Appellate Court: Defendant wins, anti-SLAPP should have been granted. Plaintiff: Wait I don’t like your logic or basis please rehear AC: You know what? You’re right. Here’s the same result on even clearer and stronger grounds. Plaintiff: . . . . Me:
