Dear UT: You are not A&M. Do better.

It’s most definitely censorship. Shame on UNT. UNT has a fantastic visual arts program and this is a slap in the face to its students, professors, and alumni.

And you believed him?

Do court judgements mean anything now? There seems to be fewer organizations willing to enforce these decisions these days.

How did you get that shot? It’s fantastic.

I thought Walz was going to call in the National Guard? Where are they? The citizens could sure use some protection.

When will the majority of people finally say “No. This has gone too far”? It’s horrifying.

“Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account …” — What a nice, polite headline. Suitable for reading while I sip tea on the verandah. /s WHERE IS YOUR OUTRAGE, NYT? Spare us this sanitized garbage.

@davidhogg.bsky.social was so right about what the Democratic Party needed. He should have kept his position as vice chair of the DNC.

I have subscribed to the DMN since it took over the Times Herald in the early ‘90s. No more. This support of an illegal action is the last straw. You have fallen so far from your days of greatness, DMN. You are an embarrassment to the legacy of GB Dealey.

Impeach Trump now.

Cruz, Cornyn—stop protecting this rapist, felon, and Epstein buddy and start protecting America. Impeach Trump now. And DMN—quit pussyfooting around. It was an illegal strike. Stop all your mealy-mouthed equivocations and tell the truth straight up.

Just a side comment: the article has a byline, “Written by McKenzie Lynn Tozan.” It’s disingenuous to say she wrote this, as all but 5 sentences were lifted directly from Reddit (with attribution, thankfully). She contributed 4 sentences to the intro, and 1 to wrap it up. Everything else is Reddit.
