The Next Terrorist Attack And What Comes After

Seems appropriate to repost this here today.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some
prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

General reminder that people who engage in political assassinations often have pretty muddled world views.

This wouldn’t pass the sniff test for one of my students but apparently is good enough for a Supreme Court justice.

"Leaders and Best" always seems to take on new meanings when confronted with even the slightest bit of resistance.

BREAKING: Workers at Yosemite and Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks just won their union elections.

They are the first national parks to unionize in several years.

much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.

This is all on their very official instagram account.

"but crime is a real issue, people are worried about crime and you have to take that seriously"

No you don't! If people are getting more scared about crime while crime is happening less frequently, it's a made up issue and you should make a point of yelling that all the time

We live in the worst Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory. There’s no chocolate and a petty Oompa Loompa is in charge.

It’s August 1st and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down.

Again, they made a big deal about this and now they’re a toddler with icing all over their mouth claiming they don’t have a cookie behind their back.

I just got through so many emails and there they are...piling up again.

27 different named women accused him of sex assault, he’s on video with Epstein where they are grossly leering at young women, Miss Teen USA contestants said he came in dressing room when they were naked, he bragged on the Access Hollywood tape about grabbing women. It’s obvious.

It's a mere flesh wound.

Listen, I have never cared to personally see the Epstein list, but this is getting absolutely out of control now. He's clearly on it. We don't even need to see it.

UMFAFT-AAUP Statement Regarding Recent Disciplinary Charges Against Student Protesters The UMF AFT-AAUP recently learned of new charges being brought against 10 student protesters, including both undergraduate and graduate students, under the Office of Student Conflict Resolution (OSCR) on the Ann Arbor campus. We are deeply troubled by this news. Welive in a time when many are questioning the value and effectiveness of our nation’s democratic institutions. As we iterated in our October 9, 2024 op-ed in The Michigan Daily, universities must support the democratic fabric of society by cultivating freedom of expression and shared governance. Doing so ensures the effectiveness of our public good mission and serves as an example of democratic practice for society at large, especially in times like these. Unfortunately, the issuing of these new charges fits a broader pattern of doing the opposite. Since early 2024 we have seen, among other things, an institutional emphasis on punishing student demonstrators, sometimes months after their alleged infractions; unilateral revisions to the Student Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, including the weakening or elimination of protections for those facing charges under OSCR; and the hiring of third-parties to aggressively monitor and charge student protesters. While directed at students, these actions affect all members of the university community, putting us at risk of surveillance, chilling speech and civic discourse, and undermining faith in the university’s commitment to fairness and due process. Wecall upon the university to reverse this pattern and to recommit to democratic principles in these matters. This, minimally, would begin with withdrawing the recently issued charges against student protesters, and refraining from bringing such charges in the future, at least until the checks needed to protect freedom of expression and due process are restored to OSCR and all other processes affecting student discipline acros…

We have issued a Statement Regarding Recent Disciplinary Charges Against Student Protesters.

Read the statement below:

Oh look....inflation went up...what a shocker.

It’s still Bastille Day.

Just saying.

Go touch grass. Read a book. A real book. Do anything. And then you’ll quickly realize how far into this godforsaken craken’s lair we are.

Tired of everyone using their language and letting them set the terms of the argument? Me too.
