*steps onto soap box*

They say they’re making #USA better when all I see is destruction of our achievements, legacy, excellence & more all in the name of what?

Oh! That’s right. A minority of white so-called Americans who hate people.

An equal & opposite reaction, a reckoning is on its way.

Germany’s parliament met only 20 times during the Nazis’ 12-year reign, and didn’t meet at all in the last 3 years. MAGA Mike Johnson is going after that record.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

Raphael Cruz is one of the most dishonest, corrupt and hypocritical people in Congress.

Senators take an oath to “do impartial justice …” during an impeachment.

If you saw the trials there are multiple clips of him and Lindsey between sessions helping Trump’s team with the defense.

He is a snake.

We need every democracy loving American to show up either in person or digitally for No Kings Day this Saturday, so tell all you friends.

Protest is one of the most patriotic things you can do.

It shows that you care enough to make change.
