The cruelty and the stupidity is the point

But sure, meritocracy. Got it.

UMass faculty calls on land grant universities to join in fight against Trump administration; McGovern, AG also weigh in AMHERST — Faculty at the University of Massachusetts are calling on Chancellor Javier Reyes and President Martin Meehan to form a compact with the 250 land grant and public universities across the cou...

This is how you do it.

The "Mutual Academic Defense Compact".

The moral imperative may be to fight...

but the strategic imperative is to not fight alone:

If Elon Musk ran the Titanic, he’d charge you for a life jacket, fire the orchestra and sympathise with the iceberg.

Harvard to Donny: fuck straight off with your fascism go peddle that shit elsewhere

here's today's post: "Harvard to Donny: fuck straight off with your fascism" — go peddle that shit elsewhere.

Seriously this is not gender equality … this is wealthy women doing what all wealthy people do, spending obscene amounts of money on nothing that advances women, humanity or helps anyone at all.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

New poll:

“America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.”

• 80% of Americans agree
• 20% disagree

“I would be better off if I worked in a factory.”

• 25% of Americans agree
• 73% disagree
• 2% currently work in a factory

This post shot me out of the sky.

They are obviously slow learners

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

An image of Trump’s Truth Social post. “Now is a good time to buy.” Rule 10b-5 prohibits the use of material nonpublic information for personal or third-party financial gain. Trump’s post, when combined with the market-moving announcement and Greer’s testimony, fits the legal definition of market manipulation and insider trading. Trump’s post was 7 minutes after the NYSE opened—before Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the 90-day pause on tariffs. The sequence and timing directly support insider trading and market manipulation. By informing people to buy before the policy was publicly disclosed, Trump broke the law.

Elections have consequences

weirdly, looking at my phone for hours has not staved off economic collapse. sorry I tried my best

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

I feel this in my bones.

Can we permanently put to rest the myth that a businessman knows more how to manage the economy? Or do we have to wait for our economy’s collapse for some among us to grasp it?

Grok says Elon Musk has likely committed a crime in Wisconsin

Also, a woman was handcuffed at a subway station in NYC (Franklin Ave) when she intervened asking why a delivery man was asked to show work permit by undercover agents. There is a video of that.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.
