MS NOW: Are you getting any support from Republican colleagues saying this kind of rhetoric isn't okay?

ILHAN OMAR: No. And it isn't surprising because the Republicans have bent the knee. They've welcomed his disgusting rhetoric. I'm not expecting any of them to develop a backbone now.

I'm having my students give feedback on the paper as a writing exercise, but also showing them how it's clearly an attack on the trans instructor.

If she cared about her grade, she would approach the instructor or the department instead of sending it all to tpusa.

For this situation specifically, Bradley was the only one in the entire chain who could have refused at essentially zero risk to himself. So no, he shouldn’t get credit for saying “but Pete told me to” when it all comes out.

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.
