Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Rules for thee, but not for me!

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

Maybe the internet was a mistake

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

social worker/therapist with an MSW and I have a Bachelor’s, currently working as an administrative professional. Hoping a small town in Manitoba would be right for us, if it comes to it.

Thank you! I’ve followed updates on the program since the early days, before any communities put their websites up. I check every day to make sure they don’t take the page down, knowing my spouse and I have the resources (thankfully) to apply, but we’ve not yet taken the plunge. My spouse is a

Is the Rural Community Immigration pilot a viable option for those who meet the criteria? Are there certain unspoken, but widely understood, rules for applying to this program? Should we invest in a consultant?

Some of the most interesting residential architecture I’ve ever seen in my life is in Omaha, NE lol

Here’s the thing - in any normal administration, this would be a term defining scandal. In a world where nothing matters, this is Monday.

But her emails...

Not legally.

All firings of funded budgets are illegal.

Only Congress can legally reduce the work force which is why judges have been giving thousands of fired ppl their jobs back

and to the extent that white conservative christians (i think it is important to specify who we are talking about) face opprobrium, it is extraordinarily mild. to describe this in any way as persecution is to abuse the language

Screen grab of Twitter post my pundit Matt Yglesias saying that California governor Newsom is not only correct on merit to oppose trans athletes, but that it's bizarre to see the Democratic party line up on an issue that is opposed 70-30.

Interracial marriage did not cross 50% approval in the US until 1996, when I was 30 years old. Good political messaging drives opinion, it doesn't follow it.

"Developing a device that could treat severe bleeding. It seems to have caught the committee’s attention for using the words “victims” — as in gunshot victims — and “trauma.” Creating biosensors to detect infectious diseases. The grant appears to have been tagged for the repeated use of “POC,” an acronym often used for “people of color” but in this context meaning “point of care” — that is, the place where people receive medical treatment — and “barrier,” referring to a part of the biosensor itself. Designing eye-tracking technology for diagnosing and treating concussions. It appears to have gotten flagged for referencing “traumatic” brain injuries and the “status,” meaning the condition, of patients."

ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh.

This would be good comedy if it didn't matter so much www.propublica.org/article/ted-...

As Governor, I will always stand with Minnesotans in the business of protecting fundamental rights.

18F saved the government millions of dollars for certain, but probably billions. Its liquidation is the clearest possible demonstration that the "Department of Government Efficiency" is a lie. 18F's mission was nominally identical to DOGE. Yet DOGE threw it away literally overnight.

The GSA is the landowner of public buildings. The people who took over our government presumably plan to sell these buildings to themselves in the current discounted market for office space.

They will tell the American people they have saved us money by making us homeless.

It is a simple accounting trick: DOGE keeps a one-sided ledger.

Lacking a column for losses, the ledger reports gain after gain to you as your public assets are sold off.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

he thinks he’s king. he issues executive orders (royal decrees) and the entire society is expected to obey

Your daily reminder :

The Overstory is so full of unnecessary suffering and death in the first 100 pages that I’m actually mad about it lol

I have blocked the “Lifesurge” megachurch propaganda ads I get on YT and every single time, it doesn’t matter. They always come back.

I’ll look at the actual Oscars website

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

Love is Blind really took a calculated risk filming a season of this kind of show in the Midwest… and I don’t think they’re very good at math…

Going to become fluent in Spanish and French just to spite him

I’m so sorry, John. Hope to see you soon

Thanks to everyone who participated nationwide!
