Dope dude! Well-deserved.

Fingers crossed that UVA's Ivy League envy and institutional insecurity will prompt an announcement soon. Imagine the headlines: "First Public School in the Nation to Decline the Compact!" "Mr. Jefferson's Middle Finger!" "Best Value in Needless, High-Stakes Equivocation."

Wow your experience is very different than mine. Lenny got the hang of pee quickly, but the other was harder to come by. Mine mostly involved running away quickly from public places, including restaurants.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

No. Can’t imagine brining a suitcase and then having to lug it god knows when whatever flight returns. Even a protected bike lane wouldn’t make me feel safe riding back at midnight after a day of travel.

A pitch-perfect encapsulation of the regime’s use of harassment (and more) as personnel policy. That this happened at the Ritz Carlton Orlando is also somehow fitting.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

The picture from
The article with a picture of an armed men standing in front of a burning donut shop. You must click through to read the caption “
Two National guardsmen stand guard outside a burning donut shop in Los Angeles on April 30, 1992.
The National Guard was called in to aid police during the second day of rioting in the city.”

Same. But the pace of these “searches” is all anyone really needs to know. In miniature the same blitzkrieg strategy as the regime.

And yet the interim presidents sounded frighteningly open at the latest faculty senate meeting…

Even the Jefferson Council appears to recognize that UVA shouldn’t sign the “Compact.”

And the University of Virginia faculty senate passes a resolution opposing the “Compact” sent to our interim president by the Department of Education. Lots of students in the room with signs opposing the compact (like “protect free speech”). 60 in favor; 2 opposed.

Obviously there are institutions—eg Liberty University—that will find these demands relatively easy to absorb and consistent with their mission.

Everyone else's job right now is to convince the UVAs and Dartmouths of the world that if they go along, they are Liberty University.

Silviano Mora Vera's U visa should have insulated him from detention.
