Spooky Back From the Dead Lazarus

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest

I mean at my university we don't do it because shared governance doesn't functionally exist. A fish will fly to the moon before faculty here successfully get any administrator to do anything they don't want to do.

Somehow the alt text of "Michael Dukakis in a tank" ended up in the actual post as "Mic." LOL I have NO idea how that happened. Anyway, for formality's sake, here it is with alt text: cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu...

OMG I’d vote for this SO HARD

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I think all of us who saw Trump for what he was early on are having a lot of cognitive dissonance and just general <<feelings>> as other people finally, belatedly, make that realization, with widely varying levels of self awareness for what they've said and done for the past 10 years.

Pete Rose sliding into third base like Superman in the 1976 World Series.

Obligatory

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

This strikes me as pretty bad

Very cool and awesome that even though I pay for not one but two subscription services that are supposed to provide me with access to @mlb.com I still can't watch the AL playoffs.

I dunno man if I were president & I was elected on the strength voters identifying as Christian & my party had spent two generations holding itself out as the party of Christians I might instruct my secret police to not ostentatiously & violently repress a Christian faith leader.

There’s a very big account posting stuff where the subtext “10/7 was justified” is VERY strongly implied and I didn’t say anything because don’t want his 100K+ followers dogpiling me but whooooooo boy more people on this site are antisemitic pieces of shit than I had accounted for.

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.

Senator Jim Banks V @SenatorBanks Follow g.. The 2020 Census was a fraud. The Biden admin used a shady "privacy" formula that scrambled the data and miscounted 14 states.

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

FWIW, it would be a felony for anyone to spend single dollar on WIC that wasn't appropriated by Congress. I know that Trump believes he is the government personified, and the other branches may agree, but you'd be going out on a limb to carry this out if you were a bureaucrat.

Same logic John Marshal used in writing Marbury v Madison.

This might turn out to be a fiendishly clever move because Democrats may be loath to challenge this on Article 1 grounds for fear of defunding WIC. If that happens the precedent is set and Article 1 is eroded even further.

Just go ahead and delete article 1 entirely while you’re at it.

<taps sign> The idea that you can win a Democratic primary - where all the voters are Democrats - by pretending to be a Republican is, in fact, very stupid.

Mad Libs from hell.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

this is the real legacy of Charlie Kirk

Best ever use of this meme.

Turning Point USA you say?

Rutgers professor moving to Europe after threats over antifa accusations Mark Bray says threats intensified after a Turning Point USA petition accused him of promoting political violence

A Rutgers professor has been forced to flee the country for his safety, after targeting by a far-right student group that was *checks notes* claiming they felt unsafe.

I'm horrified.
I'm angry.

It can be useful in some single-spaced contexts. But the dominant majority of the time, no. And it should never be the default setting.

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

Allen, a political scientist, believes the 9 universities Trump is trying to suborn should actually negotiate with Trump, because she apparently thinks Trump is offering to treat in good faith.

Nope. You lose all credibility just by saying “Zio” as a slur. Bye. Don’t speak as if you’re in the club.
