ICE is fascist. Fight for immigrants! Palestinians must live: we’re complicit. Black Lives Matter! Anti-Semitism sucks. Disability rights! Me: old fat white lesbian, former A’s fan. Live on unceded Lisjan/Huchiun land, in Oakland, CA.

The Norman HS English teacher who Walters got fired & stripped of her credential is only just now able to try to start petitioning to be reinstated yrs later.
This is a state where an oil baron literally sat in the gallery & ordered legislators to kill a highly-supported teacher strike.

Yep. Can guarantee a rubric will not save you.
Maybe it’ll provide leverage in a court case years later if you can afford it after your contingent faculty career has been toasted, sure.
But we gotta understand what’s going on here.

Also, to be clear, when a trans instructor at OU is being punished and targeted for quite fairly grading a terrible essay, it’s bizarre to see academics online debating the rubrics.
That’s…not the problem.

you have to be able to look bad faith in the eye and say absolutely not, even if that bad faith is coming from the highest levels of government
if you can’t, you do not - in any meaningful sense - have an institution, and all the kids who go there will learn is to weaponize bad faith themselves
if you can’t, you do not - in any meaningful sense - have an institution, and all the kids who go there will learn is to weaponize bad faith themselves
this is just rank cowardice, the student very obviously disregarded the instructions and the assignment to antagonize her peers and instructors and provoke this exact reaction, society simply can’t function when the people in charge scurry like kicked dogs every time some troll bully says boo

If Democrats are ever in power again what’s going to happen is the idea of holding this administration accountable for breaking the law every single day is immediately going to be made out as the greater breach of the rules.

I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try.
There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.
