Behold the champion of meritocracy. Even the cabinet members look ashamed (except Peter Navarro, who really thinks he IS the best). For all you folks who got snookered by talk of “merit,” how much more apparent can the truth be? They wanted a return to affirmative action for mediocre white guys

These stories amount to "the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet."

For all the assholes blaming Muslims and Arabs for Trump. Point your fire at yourselves. This was an own goal of your making for not thinking through support for genocide by the lesser of two evils.

Universities that decried Trump’s “Muslim Ban” in 2017 are largely silent in the face of the president’s brazen executive order to revoke the visas of students involved in Palestine solidarity protests.

Israeli defenders are really going with the argument that they accidentally killed 18,000 children — largest number of children slaughtered in conflict since the Rwanda genocide — and therefore they’re not responsible

I hadn’t quite realized it until it was front and center in national US politics (my own privilege, naïveté perhaps) but I now see how many men especially on the right see a woman divorcing a man as worse than domestic violence

Hochul’s move here is profoundly racist and dehumanizing. Defining Palestinian studies as fundamentally antisemitic means defining Palestinians as something to be erased. It is genocidal. This is also an unacceptable attack on academic freedom. The governor should have no say in faculty hiring.

In Florida, it is the GOP demanding review of syllabi and trying to impose what can and cannot be taught. Far from D.E.I. officers who were largely useless.

First of all, look at the data—progressive didn’t lose the election. If every third part vote had gone to Harris, she would have still lost. Second, did you miss the 15 months of genocide under Biden? Did you miss the part where Harris promised nothing different?

I've taught many future JAGs and went to law school with even more (UVA is adjacent to the JAG school and the students regularly take classes at UVA). Those JAGs are some of the finest lawyers I've ever met. They tend to have a strong belief in the rule of law. No wonder Trumpists hate them.
