A prize should be awarded to the first journalist who asks Tr***p either, “Why are you lying again?” or “Why are you such a dick?”

Angry? Try apoplectic. Give them nothing. Tr***p is wreaking havoc on our democracy. The old rules no longer apply. They haven’t for some time. Rep. Green acted with courage. Your choice to censure him was pathetic capitulation. Shame on you.

Indeed they have.

He’s beyond parody.

But they’ve never gone away. And, of course, you had to connect it to Zuck’s gross excess? Just stop.

The one thing these free speech absolutists is they absolutely do not know what free speech is.

Exactly this

Proud of and happy for my colleagues north on Broad Street. If you can join a union, please consider doing so. Workers are far stronger when united.

I deleted my instagram account yesterday. Will one account matter to Meta? No. But protest is still one that remains within my control.

This thread is a refreshingly complete explanation of Meta and the Biden administration and the 1st Amendment.

But what's really significant is that it's a thread on Bluesky. It is not an article in the Times or the Post or any other "major" newspaper, which have failed us so completely.

The American economy just added 256,000 jobs in December, and unemployment fell to 4.1%. Trump is inheriting one of the strongest economies for an incoming President in generations. And despite destroying our economy in his first term, Trump will try to take the credit for this boom. Don't let him.

It’s such a flexible format. I also use it for self study certificates they earn, as well as having them review for a semester-end reflection. Gives them a solid starting point, combined with their notes.

I love the 3-2-1. In some classes I assign it weekly. But the 1 is a question they still have after reflecting on the week. If I see patterns in the questions, then I can adjust, as needed.

Appalling. Translated: Does not conform with RW discourse.

He is, indeed, poison. Rat poison.

Defending The Truth About Jan 6th We must be relentless and never ceasing to fight the lies

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest:

And for further weakening academia’s struggle against student misuse of generative AI, we have to blame an *checks notes* academic publisher.

I might add a 4th rat: lies. But these are the enemies we need to be wary of.
