Absolutely wild that this is still Democrats' messaging. As I wrote in September and will write again... www.latimes.com/environment/...

I'm kinda surprised to see this from the gov of OK. Last I recall, Republicans in OK weren't quite comfortable with wind power developers. Guess I'm at least a bit out of date!

Still, only "disappointing"? πŸ™„

Proposed Model Bill Would Change College Tenure, Teaching, & Research Three conservative groups have proposed model legislation that would dramatically change faculty tenure paths, teaching loads, research activities and hiring authority

>The governing board of a public university β€œshall establish an Excellence in Americanism and Western Civilization teaching tenure pathway”

This is an inversion of tenure. Not protection to teach what your field says is important but instead an incentive from the state to teach what the state wants

I mean, kinda? (On your last point)

TAs at OU* are employees of the state, and this second TA was very clearly doing viewpoint discriminationβ€”absence excused for going to the protest unless you were there to express a certain view.

AND OU should stand by Fulnecky's bad grade & the TA who gave it.

I'm torn, but the "throw" piece puts me on the nah side

If the fruit is thrown too, no question. If the fruit is stationary, then I'm just barely on the nah side though. I could be convinced.

If I'm misreading and the fruit is the only thing thrown, hell yeah

Supreme Court Appears Poised to Expand Presidential Power

The court seemed ready to make it easier for President Trump to fire independent government officials, despite laws insulating them from political pressure.

The bit that hurts the most: "despite laws"

we think crows are black, but that’s because we only see with human eyes

crows know they’re made of rainbows, even if we see only a void

isn’t it the way of humans? to miss the iridescent among us?

Maybe not, but these efforts to suppress already-existing backfire have very much kept failing to land thanks to the state courts. This is them throwing everything they have at the wall at the end, and it doesn't look like it's going to work for them. Solid blue UT-01 district in 2026, here we go!!
