drives me nuts that wealthy blue states are not moving to expand their own public university systems in response
We’re about to abolish R1s & regional universities through much of the country for a bunch of made-up reasons; geography is destiny for young people there

the leading successful coach of the last decade (before Russia sanctions kind of busted up her influence) has ruined the bodies of basically a number of her students before they turned 23 but they won a lot so it's fine
Especially when you consider that some of the people training on these tricks are children. Alysa Liu who is competing this year *retired* at 16, before coming back

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

More card-carrying socialists in America today than in the heydey of Boomer youth activism. More than the CPUSA heydey of the New Deal and the War. More than anytime since Debs, and gaining. The dawn is coming, the cross is bending, and joy cometh with the morning.
You're living in the largest anti-capitalist movement since Eugene Debs.

The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

People are mad at @samuelmoyn.bsky.social but this is a good piece from him and @ryandoerfler.bsky.social on need to accept that SCOTUS has become functionally illegitimate. Key point is legitimacy does require the public to think the court operates in good faith:

one of my favorite things about the winter olympics is when a skier or snowboarder blows my mind with athletic feats of daring that would literally kill regular folks. and then they remove their mask and are ALSO the Most Beautiful Person Alive
