Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

Make sure everyone knows: these mass firings are NOT because of the shutdown.

Trump doesn’t have to fire any of these people—he’s choosing to do it as an intimidation tactic.

Difficult to overstate how stupid and reckless this is.
Mass CDC cuts hit staff dealing with measles, Ebola and disease forecasting
Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.

This pic really makes the US collapse into full despotism feel real, doesn't it? Leader's dead-eyed, meritless teen son shoved into powerful role solely because Leader wills it: a marker of corrupt autocracy recognizable on every continent and in every century.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

They are dragging 15 year old girls and hiding the case files of people who did things to 15 year old girls

At what point does it not matter what needs to be “released”

As opposed to making sure that until it is they don’t have access to kids

After 10 long days, the hearing challenging Texas' gerrymandering ended. By the end, all of legacy media had vanished. But Democracy Docket stayed to keep you informed about just how far Republicans went to manipulate the state’s maps.

In the 83 and 84, before I moved to Atlanta, I bought my dad Sunday season tickets and we spent Sundays at the Vet. Even though they lost in the WS, 83 was a fun year. (Young adults could afford a 10 pack of season tickets back then. I think they cost $200.)

“Jewell becomes the first player in WNBA history to have a perfect 10-0 record in the WNBA Finals. She has now won her 3rd championship. She got everything she could have ever wanted with her trade request. But this ultimately looks like a deal that benefited all three teams involved in the trade.”

At their lowest point this year, Becky Hammon had Aces’ players start doing their own scouting reports and putting together practice plans. She thought it would be temporary. It helped them turn everything around: www.si.com/wnba/aces-lo...
“Sometimes you kind of get used to just the coaches doing all the work, trying to motivate people, giving stories, the speeches, everything,” said Loyd, also new to the team this season. “It hits different when it comes from your team. It’s personal ... People are getting more vulnerable in the locker room, opening up, and I think that’s when we all just opened up to each other a little more. We kind of just used that as a bonding mechanism, and it allowed us to just really buy into everyone’s story, with a lot of stuff to hold ourselves accountable on and be more vocal and take some ownership.”

Maybe this is a new thing they do but I can’t recall ever quoting a ‘cardiac age’ to any patient, even on insurance physicals. With tRump he usually finds a way to tip his hand, I think he’s got some serious heart issues with his exactly “14 years younger” cardiac status.

Growing up in Kensington, my dad and I used to go to Connie Mack Stadium on a regular basis. I think he was a little embarrassed taking a little girl to games, but not so much that he wouldn’t take me.

Because Biden was too old.

And Harris was Black and a woman and the usual target of Democratic Party bashers from the right and the left.

And the never ending gullibility of people on social media to swallow propaganda and apply purity tests to ONE party.

GOP has had close ties to the Kremlin for a long time. Because racism and misogyny underlie so much in America and core GOP values, Trump's appeal to bigots on left and right united them and brought everything to the surface. A godsend for Putin.

So now we know it was a sham exam as I noted below. Folks, this 👇 isn’t a presidential exam report. This doctor should lose their license. He should have lost it back in April when he mentioned ‘victories in golf events’ in his exam report on Trump. At least then more info was given. 1/
