If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university.
You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

Trump's Account Of His Friendship With Epstein Doesn't Line Up With Trove Of New Documents
Trump frequently socialized with the late child sex trafficker and once said admiringly that Epstein liked beautiful women “on the younger side.”
Trump was credibility accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women. He said his celebrity allowed him to grab women by the genitals. A jury found he had jammed his fingers up a woman's vagina.
A little context for the WH's denials of any wrongdoing.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

UPDATE: Reached out to the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister who was there that day and has been active in religious demonstrations at Broadview.
“They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer … it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil.”

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.
1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.
Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.
This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.
The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Any pub or show not running or reporting on this comment right here is absolutely caping for this administration.
Everyone knows education is the most kitchen table ass talking point ever and specifically saying disabled kids shouldn't have access to it affects so many families

The full front cover is dominated by a picture of Zelenskyy. The word BETRAYED is written in German (VERRATEN) across his chest in yellow. The rest of the subtitle is underneath.
Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany.
“BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

The AP provides a model of effective press resistance
Credibility is more important than access.
"If Trump is denying access to outlets that refuse to lick his boots, then any media outlet that has access is compromised. Journalists who want to be worthy of the name have a moral obligation to follow the AP’s example in enraging the toddler in chief."

If you're not following Dr. @wilgafney.bsky.social, you need to. This is why biblical interpretation matters. God is so much bigger than any one time or group of people can comprehend.
