It took becoming a professor myself to realize the implications - what it means to be attracted to someone who categorically has less power than you. I don't know if it's disqualifying, but there are too many women not getting a platform as a result of behavior like this for me not to say something
If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.
One of those elections where taking poll numbers and adding in a bunch of magical Republican voters simply didn't work. :(
This post that a friend of my partner's shared on FB potentially explains the Kristin Chenoweth thing, and is frightening.
Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

PENCE: “TARIFFS ARE A TAX… American importers, businesses and ultimately consumers end up paying all of that $300 BILLION. We're paying that.”
This is Patty Hartman, a 17 year veteran of the Justice Department. She was fired on Monday by Pam Bondi. She is warning of a wave of retribution inside the agency. You must hear her words for yourself.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of reasons to believe that Donald Trump is a fool.
But the fact that it took almost a decade for him to figure out that Putin has been playing him for one is as good as any.
Let me take a stab at that one. No.
As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention.
22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk.
Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.
A lot harder and more complicated to be Mayor of NYC than Governor of the podunk state of Arkansas. Just saying.
This is just wrong on so many levels
Instead of preparing for possible terrorist attacks after the Trump administration bombed Iran
The Department of Homeland Security is brutally beating and detaining a laborer who's the father of 3 US Marines
Can we at least pause the fascism while we're at war
“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines”

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.
Attending my first @chicagoskycam.bsky.social game this year. Here's a controversial take. This team is bad. Can't score. Cant even hit a layup. Missed several so far. Cant hit free throws. Embarrassing.

Next on CNN...did Joe Biden's cognitive decline cause Donald Trump to sit in the Oval Office today and spin a racist conspiracy theory about white genocide in front of another world leader? Yes. Yes it did.
Joint Committee on Taxation, the official scorekeeper, says the GOP tax bill headed for a House markup Tuesday would add $4.9 trillion to the 10-year deficit. It’s likely to be amended before becoming law but details TBD. www.jct.gov/getattachmen...

Post on X from Bill Melugin at Fox News, saying "Drone Footage of the raid, courtesy of ICE. There is a video underneath showing half a dozen vehicles in procession, observed in black and white through a drone.
To give you some sense of how over the top this operation was, ICE gave Fox News DRONE FOOTAGE of the operation, showing a cavalcade of armored vehicles through the streets of Pasadena to serve a search warrant on a guy whose offense was stapling fliers on power poles with information about LEOs.
Did he convert to Judaism? He sure looks like he’s wearing a Tallit.
Ladies & gentlemen, the president of the United States — so proud
I do not like this timeline!
The North Korean missile that killed people in Kyiv contained at least 116 components imported from other countries, most of which were manufactured by American companies, - Zelensky
Such a cascade of fuck ups got us to this moment
We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president
