in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

I think they'll be renamed Knights of McGivney once he's recognized as a saint.

Still stand by that if KoC and Italian-American Catholics wanted to show someone who came from Italy to the US and showed true Catholic and American spirit, Mother Cabrini is the obvious candidate.

It is quite a deliberate choice to allow an editorial in a church bulletin that defends Christopher Columbus (if transparency it wasn’t the pastor himself).

It’s even more of an interesting choice when that editorial does so by paraphrasing Tony Soprano.

But Bosco never came to the USA, right? Mother Cabrini did and did the Lord's work here.

I'm not sure LD fostered many positive virtues for me. But I do think extemp did.

To be fair, HS CX debate has messed with many minds.

I was told that if you take a selfie at the protest and send it (along with your account information) to [email protected] you get at least $150.

Am I wrong?

Just to be clear, the one time I actually showed up to a No Kings protest I grabbed some random cardboard from a moving box and had my wife write a message on it because her handwriting is legible and I still had to pay my bus fare 😩

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

During college summers, I worked for an investment bank. Some of my best friends are in finance. I was offered a job at a VC firm at graduation (which I declined). I have investment accounts.

Will the NYT give me space for an op-ed about much needed Wall Street reforms?

And who is the author of this op-ed? The billionaire CEO of an asset management firm who helped author the compact.

Baptist: Bad Bunny must be born again as Good Bunny
Pentecostal: Bad Bunny needs to be slain by the Spirit.

People think they’re taking down a rich intellectual sinecure but they’re mostly terrorizing committed public servants who make $58,000 a year after 15 years of experience at a school that has to budget creatively so students can access textbooks.

This new column by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social makes me think about when I recently had to talk to the police for yet another safety plan, I tried to “lighten” the mood by saying that we all knew this wasn’t my first rodeo. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...
For at least the past 15 years, my colleagues in academia have grappled with angry letters to university officials for doing their jobs. They have weathered campaigns for their firing. They have contended with an internet army obsessed with doxxing them, their parents, their kids. I’ve been contacted by the F.B.I. more than once in my career. Not because I hold any important state secrets or know a biker gang but because one of my colleagues has lived with so much sustained harassment from right-wing “activists” that it has become a matter of federal concern. Watch lists (one of which was constructed by Kirk’s organization) do not distinguish between public intellectuals at wealthy enclaves and hoi polloi who teach popular classes at cash-strapped schools. In either case, an army of trained provocateurs stands ready to destroy their lives to prove their bona fides as conservative activists.

A meme for the modern university...
Meme showing a worker labelled "academic staff" digging a hole in the ground while 10 others look labelled with management titles such as "Director of Human Resources" look on. The caption underneath reads "The only way we can cut costs is to reduce the number of academic staff..."
