Congrats again to everyone for pretending the far right authoritarian party’s assault on higher education was really about fighting antisemitism
JD Vance: "Wouldn't you rather lead a movement of freethinkers who sometimes disagree than a bunch of drones who take their orders from George Soros?"

Right, this line Vance used was a very common line used by segregationists.
Here's Rep. Mendel Rivers (D-SC) reacting to the Brown decision, which he said "would bring mongrelization of the Caucasian race. He added that he for one won't apologize for being a white man."

republicans and especially erika kirk really don’t seem to mind that charlie got killed
TPUSA recreated the booth where Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, and attendees lined up to take selfies in it. So weird.

The most visible Republican house members, Marjorie Taylor Green, Nancy Mace, Elise Stefanik, etc. all leaving congress is a sign of women being purged from the Republican Caucus and the party writ large.
I don't think anyone will shed a tear for them but that's what this is all about.

I feel like "academic hiring" discourse is always kind of downstream of the fact that in the 50s we started building a giant public system to make a college education almost universally available and in the 80s and 90s we started taking it apart to go back to the only-the-rich model

This is part of what I mean by “slow civil war.” It’s not coming, it’s here, and there are mounting casualties.
Even in Illinois — a "safe haven" where many have fled as persecution against trans people ramps up in other states — 29 trans teens have died by suicide this year as of Nov. 21, according to a count by Trans Up Front Illinois.
That’s compared to 4 last year, and 6 the year before that.

People are rightly disgusted by this speech, but it’s a measure of fascism’s normalization that many see this as more of the awful same rather than what I think most of us who’ve been reporting this beat hear it as: a significant calculated escalation. Full alert stuff.
JD Vance gets the biggest applause of his speech so far when he says "by the grace of God we always will be a Christian nation"

BRENNAN: This isn't everything you asked for just yet, but would you acknowledge that they are complying with the spirit if not the intent of your law?
MASSIE: No. They're flouting the spirit and the letter of the law. It's very troubling the posture that they've taken.

Biden built a great new VA Clinic in Toms River NJ with new equipment, ample parking, short waiting times. But Trump fired most of the doctors, nurses, lab techs, pharmacists and admins. Now our veterans have long waits for appointments and prescriptions!
The president says he’s giving members of the military $1,776. It doesn’t make up for all the damage to the VA.

Hey @democrats.org, why haven’t you released the DNC 2024 autopsy?
Does it say something about centrism that would make corporate megadonors mad at ya?
Does it show that supporting a genocide was a terrible idea?
