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.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.
Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

Will Republicans give us a real investigation into Trump’s bombings, now that we just learned horrific new details about them? Or are they seriously going to fall on their swords for Pete Hegseth? trib.al/nSPiAEE

This “young men are in crisis!” gives me “they took our jobs!” vibes.
Having no purpose can be depressing af but no one took your job or your wife. The problem is you are part of a patriarchal society that believes you have a RIGHT to those things simply because you’re a man & my friend you do not.

President Orange Fascist Piggy is on a rampage to insult and admonish as many female reporters as possible. Due to his known mental illness, mixed with his fascist hate toward women. Mostly because many women protect children from rapist such as himself.

Reporter: Why won't the administration confirm or deny whether or not there were a survivors after that initial first strike? What imminent threat would survivors pose who were clinging presumably to the wreckage of that boat?
Leavitt: You guys are not listening fully to the statement I provided.

The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors.
It’s almost like…. It was never about that

Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime
LEAVITT: I would reiterate that the strike was conducted in accordance with the law of armed conflict

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Stalling on releasing the Epstein files and pardoning some drug dealers while killing others makes perfect sense through the lens of Trump Inc being a traditional organized crime family with branches in gambling, drugs and prostitution. He’s killing his rivals right out in the open.

A reminder to a nation with way too many people untethered to facts and truth: There’s no such thing as “The Department of War.” It doesn’t exist. Only Congress has the power to create and name executive departments & agencies. So it’s still The Department of Defense.
Thanks
