I don't think they think it's "a mistake"

I was actually just quoting When Harry Met Sally 😅 It was a risk if you weren't familiar with the scene/quote.

I read that in a magazine.

The rebranding of reactionary gender and biological essentialism as “heterodox and challenging ideas to which liberal students must be exposed” is one of the greatest achievements of our stupid era. Congratulations to the reactionary centrists who helped make it happen - you dupes, you utter dolts.

After successfully getting the media to internalize the idea that they are an inherently and unforgivably liberal institution and the only possible penance is to privilege conservative voice and thought constantly and to exclusion, right-wingers are using that foothold to demand the same of academia

Because nothing says “you should feel free to come visit Washington” like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote 🙃

agree with everyone here - stop even using the word distract or distraction - I'm starting to have a visceral reaction to it. But it also needs to be said that "stunt" is wildly out of place here.

Trump on TruthSocial: The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE.’ The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future. We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made. This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums.

If Democratic politicians do not fight this because it's a "distraction," it will simply happen. They need to get in front of every mic and say that we will not allow Trump to destroy American history. He wants a culture war? GIVE HIM ONE. There are no distractions. Have every fight.

Federal agents spread out across D.C. streets amid Trump's vow to crack down on crime President Trump promised a weekend crackdown on Washington, D.C.'s homeless population and criminals. Trump activated federal agents to also be a show of force across the district.

Welcome to America

Don’t come here
Don’t go to the Smithsonian
Don’t go to the Washington monument
Don’t go to the Lincoln Memorial to Jefferson Memorial or the Vietnam memorial

Don’t see the POW statues or the FBI headquarters or the treasury

Stay out of DC

Cancel your field trip

🔥COACH @sullydawg2.bsky.social on who’s really getting deported. (not violent criminals)

“You made a big deal about ‘coming in the right way’ —they’re waiting for asylum hearings and getting arrested, as private prisons get rich… Share in the shame of your vote.”

Chris Murphy: "The meeting was a disaster, it was an embarrassment for the United States ... Putin walks away with a photo op, with zero commitments made, and zero consequences. What a great day for Russia."

I hope Max runs for office. @runforsomething.net @amandalitman.bsky.social

VOTER: “West Virginia has 4 members of Congress… none of them are willing to come here and do what you’re doing. What can we do?”

BERNIE: “We need a political revolution. We need to elect people accountable to the working class rather than raising money from billionaires.”

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

“Conservatism” as a political rallying cry - is a lie.

The student newspaper.
This fell. To the student. Newspaper.

Texas Pushes Redistricting Into an Era of ‘Maximum Warfare’

Marc Elias, one of the Democratic Party’s most prominent lawyers, welcomed any converts to his brand of brass-knuckle politics.

“I do not believe, when it comes to elections, that Democrats should ever engage in any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith,” Mr. Elias said.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

zoomed in on 126 degrees for MO that day

Ernie Moran bringing the heat at last night’s TX House redistricting hearing! “Your answer to Governor Abbott should have been four words…Don’t Mess With Texas”. #NoNewMaps #SeeItNameItFightIt

and the gross emphasis/focus on "their child-bearing years." Pound sand, guy.

It’s insane that we live in a country where folks can walk around in the street with an AR-15.
