Here’s my takeaway from the State of the Union:

NPR reports that the DOJ has “withheld” documents that include allegations that Donald “sexually abused a minor.”

don’t you need an actual war to be under the fog of war?

Dear Pete, Donald, MAGA etc:

“What will it profit a man if he gains the world and loses his soul”

We are selling out our nation, our future, our morality, for the ego and wealth of a 79 year old man.

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it.

You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.

You have the right to record ICE.

You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it.

Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Say what you want about Dick Cheney but he raised a daughter who stood up when it mattered.

Robert Redford, Screen Idol Turned Director and Activist, Dies at 89

NOOOOO.

RIP to Robert Redford.

Dear members of the Northwestern community, With the new academic year upon us, we'd like to take a moment to reflect on the core of our mission - to create space for teaching and learning, where ideas flow freely, we learn from one another and push each other to create and discover. This pursuit happens every day — all around us — in classrooms and labs, on stages and playing fields. However, in our increasingly polarized world, at times we experience pain, confusion and challenging situations. With that in mind, it's important to know the policies listed below that facilitate healthy dialogue, respectful disagreement and the exchange of ideas so that we can do our best work as students, faculty and staff. We encourage everyone to take the time to read through these documents fully. Demonstration Policy The Demonstration Policy includes requirements and guidance on how, when and where members of the community may protest or otherwise engage in expressive activity. The policy prohibits overnight demonstrations and limits activity that disrupts classes and other functions of the University, including prohibiting demonstrations at the Rock before 3 p.m. on weekdays and the use of amplified sound in that area before 5 p.m.

The Display and Solicitation Policy sets clear rules and requirements for on-campus displays, including flyers, banners, chalking and 3-D installations. The policy establishes designated areas for flyers, chalking and other displays and details when the University removes displays. This policy also prohibits the use of tents (with exceptions for University-sponsored events and for the purposes of guarding and painting the Rock), light displays and chalking on buildings. Signs that violate laws and other University policies are prohibited. The Student Handbook, which contains the Student Code of Conduct (page 9), is updated each year. As a reminder, last year we made several policy changes, including: - An Intimidation Standard that explicitly prohibits subjecting another person or group to abusive, demeaning, harassing, humiliating, intimidating, threatening or violent behavior that substantially affects the ability of the person or group to learn, work or live in the University environment. Examples of violations to this policy include physical threats, verbal or written communication to threaten violence, the use of symbols, words or graphics to threaten violence, acts of doxing, and abusive behavior toward a University official or agent acting in performance of their duties, among others. It also prohibits engaging in abusive, demeaning, harassing, humiliating, intimidating or threatening behavior that excludes a student from joining or participating in a student organization. • The Failure to Comply Standard includes specific examples and to make clear that students are required to comply with the requests, directives and instructions of University officials acting in performance of their duties. Under this policy, students must identify themselves, including removing face masks or coverings for purposes of identification when asked by an authorized University official who is addressing law or policy violations and health or safety concerns.

The Misuse of University Properties policy defines misuse, including unauthorized access to athletics fields and construction sites and attending or participating in an event in University spaces that violates the policies governing that space. - The Destruction of Property Standard defines what applies under this policy to include tampering with University property. Faculty and staff are encouraged to review their respective handbooks. Each member of the Northwestern community is expected to interact with each other with respect and consideration. Additional Policies In addition to the policies above, we want to remind you about the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX Compliance (OCR) policies concerning discrimination, harassment and sexual misconduct: • Policy on Discrimination, Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct: This policy covers a wide range of discriminatory and harassing behaviors, including those based on race, ethnicity, religion, sex and other protected characteristics. • Policy on Title IX Sexual Harassment: This policy specifically addresses sexual harassment and sexual misconduct consistent with Title IX. • Reasonable Accommodation Policy: This policy explains the availability of accommodations for students, employees, job applicants, visitors and other third parties on the bases of disability, pregnancy, lactation and religion. • Reporting by University Employees of Disclosures Related to Discrimination and Harassment: This policy sets out the reporting requirements for employees when they learn about discrimination, harassment and sexual

As Trump holds Northwestern University hostage with $800 million in frozen funds, Northwestern leadership cracks down on students' right to free speech.

These policies put more than 22,000 students at risk of punishment for peacefully protesting for any cause in any way.

NEWS: Trump has filed a $15 billion lawsuit against the New York Times, a few of their writers, and Penguin Random House, seemingly because they published things about him he didn’t like.

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

RIP. I thought he might be too handsome to die. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

I do feel like part of the hatred extended toward Bluesky is a function of preferring to think that the alarm about the state of the country that’s common here is misguided or exaggerated. Dismissing the site as liberal doomers allows you to dismiss those concerns, too.

We still want the Epstein files btw

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.

This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

Maurene Comey, the lead prosecutor in the Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffery Epstein saga, is now suing Pam Bondi, the DOJ and the Office of the President for her unlawful firing.

Maurene has all the receipts.
