Lots of Americans don't think we are the good guys now.

Any interpreter that smoothly translates that moron's gibberish into nicely flowing language is likely just making shit up.

Faculty meeting has to cover how to deal with the Icestapo comes to campus. Several faculty are foreign born and are rightfully concerned about their own safety.

I am disgusted by what my country has become under the fascist pos that is president now. Everyone who voted for him is to blame.

The US has truly lost its way when colleges and universities have to put out documents with titles like:

Highway sign in Boston. How can we make this slogan viral?

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some Zen to the feed.

Will there be a debate about whether the orders to bomb Iran are legal? Is Bibi in the US chain of command?

Orwell had it right.

Democratic leadership is just weak, scared and useless. The fact these people don't get cashiered suggests most elected Dems are as well.

And never under oath, though I am not naive enough to think Trump gives a damn about any oaths he has taken.

I am so sorry this country chose criminal conman Trump over this immensely qualified and dignified woman.

Sadly, yes. Fetterman will surely vote yes. The more interesting question to me is Senator "I'm a doctor and still voted for that vaccine quack RFKJr to head HHS" Cassidy will do.

I like your alternative. Mine is unmedicated root canal. On the other hand, I would rather Trump salsa on broken glass while undergoing unmedicated root canal than get free airtime to lie to us with impugnity.

Sports econ and sports law friends...

Andrew generously spoke to my sports econ class a few years ago. I heartily endorse his podcast and substack, though it is rarely about sports.

Schumer should teach a master class in how not to negotiate.
