Texas Tech has decided it wants to be a football program affiliated with something equivalent to an air conditioning repair school
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

This administration is filled with the absolute dumbest, meanest, cruelest pieces of shit.
And they're so *proud* to be dumb, mean, cruel pieces of shit too. They delight in it. They brag about it.
It's vice signaling as a way of life.

I want Admiral Bradley to know that I admire him greatly and will support him completely, and if he could just lie on the pavement for a minute longer, I need to put this bus in reverse and then into drive just one more time.
If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

Indiana GOP is going for it: They've released a proposed map that'd likely lock in a 9-0 GOP congressional delegation & flip the 2 currently held by Dems. Indianapolis would be cracked into GOP seats, and Gary would be drowned in red.

So police driven voter suppression.
A police stop is enough to make someone less likely to vote, recent research has found. "Voting is a reflection of our belief that we’re part of the system, that our voice matters."

New research shows how the communities that are most heavily policed are pushed away from politics and from having a say in changing policy.

Just ahead of the holidays, the Trump administration ripped up new travel rules to rein in airlines and put money back in your pocket.
If you’re watching this and your flight is delayed, spread the word: Trump is only looking out for the giant corporations.
