Had a similar Wawa experience a few years ago in Philly for work. Hotel manager became visibly insulted when I asked “what’s Wawa, is that like a 7-11” but let me off easy. Sandwich rocked.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

“Records show both men are from South Texas” 🤬

Inadequate.

Well this ad definitely lines up with that

The Middleton ad attacks Chip Roy for allegedly betraying maga. What’s precious is the deep rough guy voice over followed by a pic of Middleton who looks like an altar boy.

The ads for Mayes Middleton and Mark Texeira 🙄😵‍💫

I’m at my mom’s house where she has cable tv blasting and I’ve had to sit thru this obnoxious lying ad a few times already. And many other ads not much better. What a freak show.

Watching cable tv for the first time in years and my god the onslaught of vomit inducing political ads.

But history teachers will lose their jobs if they even suggest the US has done anything wrong, ever.

Gangster government

Armored thugs with guns who invade schools and terrorize kids now have a badge courtesy of your federal government.

They all signed up to be ICE “agents”

Pathetic

Actually the model UN has more legitimacy than what remains of our government.

Specifically, a protest song about how the sons of the rich were able to avoid fighting, like fighting-age Donald Trump who got four deferments for being in college and another for bone spurs.

Don’t give Texas any ideas

On the other hand, Goldman’s _Crucial Decade_ included a fabulous sarcastic quote from Adlai Stevenson on “dynamic conservatism” that perfectly describes the 90s brand of “fiscal conservative but liberal on social issues”- you’d support public schools but decline to pay for them etc

“Using real censorship to fight fake censorship” is a good descriptor for what’s happening in public and higher education right now.

When I was in grad school in the 90s, a Black colleague reported being advised several times (by the most prominent prof in the dept) that his quickest path to fame and fortune lay with becoming a Black conservative.

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend” never ends well and in this case may end us all.

No one is topping that story!

It was unwatchably awful and why waste any remaining hours on earth watching the sequels

Censoring reports about horrific conditions inside carceral facilities is a practice with a long history.

Been waiting on this book @drkyliesmith.bsky.social - if our state hasn’t crushed the life out of our teaching by next fall I’ll use it in my history of mental health seminar.
