This is how it’s done.

This is some 1984-level BS www.ed.gov/media/docume...

I was asked today if I would continue volunteering as an officer of elections this year. As long as we have elections, I will…

She is so not wrong on this.

One of the only people speaking truth right now

Mediocre white guys, in a nutshell

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

It is our responsibility as #educators and #teachers to uphold and enact this! #edusky #iteachwl #langchat #dei #lgbtq #protectourkids #protectourstudents #socialjustice

Everything will be tuberculosis, with RFK, Jr in charge of the country’s health

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

How much fun was this - with engaging characters, hilarious scenarios, and fast pacing. app.thestorygraph.com/books/b3134d...

If I die in a plane crash, trust me, I want you to make it political.

in every space possible

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Are you f— Nope, that tracks. Vance meets with leader of far-right German party, exports MAGA message

my love language is every time i see a bookstore i must go in.

Pace yourselves, people. It’s going to be a marathon.

Me: I should eat less to lose weight Also me: food is the only thing that will cure my woes

This is just a matter of course in Canadian politics frankly it is WILD to me that the democrats seemingly have absolutely no organization or structure to their caucus. How do they expect to be heard in the media when they don't have any spokespeople or core message or party discipline at all?

You think our government can’t be more disgraceful and then…

Since the 90s governments have pushed universities to run more like big business. This led to high executive pay, dissatisfied 'customers', mutinous staff, disbanding socially useful but 'unprofitable' divisions, and lavish spending on white elephant prestige projects. So, in fairness, it worked.

It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico for 425 years. Thanks Britannica!

CNN: Do you think that calling Elon Musk "a dick" is effective messaging? Rep. Robert Garcia: "Well, he is a dick." I approve this message. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

No matter the season, it's always the perfect time to curl up with a good book! 🍂❄️🌸☀️ #BookwormLife #booksky

This whole thread - but also, and despite my own deep cynicism, I have still been surprised by all the powerful institutions complying in advance. My uni is striking all mentions of diversity. The last 18mos has shown admins are generally unwilling to stand for academic freedom with their faculty.

And women are the weaker sex? Sure.. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Some great books here. And the T-shirt is 🔥

Charges for what, exactly?

So like… remember when the conversation was about #AlternativeFacts? Because this is a big one…. I also have to point out that a huge tool of #colonialism is naming/renaming. #AcademicSky #BlackSky

Wait...people really think Kendrick Lamar's performance was supposed to be patriotic? Please bring back liberal arts 😭😭😭

I’m so tired of them. I’m tired of their lies. I’m tired of their disgusting amorality. I’m tired of their faces, their voices, their smirks. I’m tired of their inability to say — let alone do — even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever. So tired.

Because they really pay attention to those things, you know 🙄

That she didn’t set fire to it on the way out is a testament to her strength.

Convince me I’m wrong: The rich twat currently raging through the federal government has no legal right to do so. People could ignore him, refuse to follow his “orders” - he has no recourse because he isn’t in charge. Except people want to say yes to this destruction—and so they’ve opened the door.

Amen to that

And yet people are bowing to its every move

Can we clone her? Please?

Taylor would like a word

Such utter - and expected - bullshit
