Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA06) epitomizes everything wrong with extreme, incompetent MAGA/Trumpist members of Congress. He richly deserves to lose his seat next November. bluevirginia.us/2025/11/mond...

I had chicken pox in 1983 and 1987. I wish we had the vaccine. And the hpv vaccine would have helped too.

UNIVERSITIES = CORPORATE BUREAUCRACIES

📈 Admin salaries rise
📉 Teaching budgets shrink
🎓 Students pay the price

If universities really valued education, why does admin expansion outpace faculty hiring?

NIH grant terminations under Trump have totaled at least $1.8 billion, analysis finds Researchers calculated that $1.8 billion in National Institutes of Health grants were terminated in just over one month

In the short run, loss of America’s appeal to scientists around the world. In the medium term, economic depression. In the long term, the US reverses its development.

‘We Have More Athletes Than We Have Fans’ Many small colleges have invested in sports to boost enrollment. What happens when it doesn’t work?

The problem for Lourdes University, and many other small, private colleges, is that athletics has done little or nothing to attract students who don’t play sports. chroni.cl/3XXX4YI

Comic of a support group consisting of Bigfoot, a leprechaun, a mermaid, and a pink unicorn. On a chair next to the mermaid is a small vile of syrem. She points to it and says, "I'd like everyone to welcome our newest member to the group, the vaccine that causes autism."

RFK Jr. has hired anti-vaccine activist David Geier to lead a study looking to link autism to vaccines, although that link has been heavily studied and thoroughly debunked. Geier does not have a medical degree & was disciplined in Maryland for practicing medicine without a license.

UNIVERSITIES = CORPORATIONS

Students = Revenue
Adjuncts = Disposable Labor
Admin = Profit-Driven Executives

The only ones thriving are the ones in power.

Tariffs on their own do not create more American jobs or lead to more US production. In fact, Trump's last trade war cost roughly 300,000 jobs. All these tariffs will do is give corporations cover to jack up prices and pad their profits at our expense.

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.
