But it requires not only a willingness to flunk students, but also a willingness to construct your course—and your pedagogy, and your professional persona—around an overt, articulated, emphatic set of ethical commitments.

Reporters don’t push back because they’ll lose access and then they won’t have jobs anymore and there are virtually no middle class jobs and no social safety net
Fascism isn’t just a charismatic strongman talking it’s also manufacturing ground conditions

This is unhinged, unadulterated white nationalism that is so off-the-charts fascist not even David Duke would have said that in public.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

Unfortunately, yes they did.
ICE raids are still his most popular policy.
It's late November, 2025, and 89% of GOP still approve of the job Trump is doing on immigration.🤦🏿♂️

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

I've had this bubbling angrily inside of me ever since the dissent in the SCOTUS praying football coach case included a picture that put the lie to the majority opinion, and it didn't matter at all.

100% this. My approach to governance is usually “like I could do any better”. Now I am fully at “Jesus Christ, could we just let a normal person not ACTIVELY fuck this up? Even I could outperform this by a MILE.”
The extent to which literally everyone in this administration is a fucking moron with no idea what they’re doing is, I would say, unprecedented. In Trump 1 you at least had a couple vain, amoral careerists. Now I think I would personally be able to do a better job than any given cabinet appointee

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Fun fact, if you work in schools, you can help create spaces that model radical acceptance and, if done intentionally, help others realize that a)they want to create and maintain spaces like that and b)it’s very doable.
2) still applies, but we eat that ourselves so the kids can be alright.

1) genuine life changing moment of my early 20s was realizing I actually didn't have to do this at all. tell the youths
2) I feel like there's a class discussion to be had around the stakes of this kind of decision though

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Did you know that some MLB owners take out loans against future season ticket sales and then use that money to buy themselves mansions/yachts etc? With the added bonus of being able to whine to fans that the team is actually carrying a lot of debt?

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.
