I continue to feel like we have to just assume there won’t be elections. We can’t be thinking about what we do in 2029.

Trojan Dog Musk’s “Dept of Gov Efficiency” DOGE is not abt efficiency or fraud. It’s abt taking control and sidelining congress. Neither Musk or Trump have the right to shut down agencies created by congress. Congress decides how money is spent NOT an unelected tech bro and his minions! #embroidery

guys, leon is still shouting that college profs are overwhelmingly liberal. obviously never been to a faculty meeting in #Kansas or #Missouri. Profs are crazy diverse in thinking and impressively reluctant to take one side or the other. however #administration in #highered here in the “middle west”

saw another skeet full of replies from white liberals saying we should leave people in red states to die millions of Black, brown, and poor people live in red states and either don’t want to leave or can’t leave. disrespectfully, fuck all of you who leave people to drown. gross.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million
