I can sooo relate to this. Over a period of time, iIhave switched to supermarkets that shuffle aisles less frequently even if they are a little further away or don't carry as many items. Just a negative marketing for me.

Higher ed leaders are doing "decline of public trust" discourse in order to avoid talking about all the things they've done to undermine their institutions, including exploiting contingent faculty labor, attacking student protest, and underfunding the humanities

True, but any other democratic nominee would have said so too, however, don't lose sight of the fact that she's a creature of the same system and has done little to change her positions since.

Rutgers has been doing this for decades, paid Snooky $30k+ and increased athletics fee for every enrolled student. Currently, they are stuck with a terrible retread football coach and a ridiculous contract.

The "centrist" think tank Third Way is looking to pay someone between $140,000 and $150,000 to spend their days trying to dig up dirt on DSA members. They're trying to sell this gig as "anti-extremism" work, which I find completely disgusting.
from job listing:

As the Director of Anti-Extremism, a typical day might include…

Assembling and updating a database of the DSA’s most extreme ideas and statements and a repository of voting records, affiliations, and issue positions to make available to allies and partners;
Leading public opinion research to identify and test the contrasts that move base voters away from these extreme candidates;
Overseeing the development of memos, talking points, rapid response materials, and other products that make the case against these extreme forces in American politics;
Promoting and marketing our research and materials to ensure they reach decisionmakers quickly, repeatedly, and at scale through a coordinated distribution infrastructure;
Recruiting and arming a group of young, diverse spokespeople to fight the DSA from a center-left perspective and assembling a broad coalition of organizational partners to make the case against extremism;
Running an earned media program to create a drumbeat of our message in op-eds, television appearances, podcasts, and traditional and digital media engagement.

Under the guise of denouncing religious bigotry, people like David Frum are in fact engaging in religious bigotry themselves. "Oh, it doesn't matter what this politician has actually done and said, he's a Muslim and you know how THEY are." Utterly vile and pathetic.
