General exam starts at 9 am. When I emerge from my office looking like Old Gregg on Friday, just congratulate me and send me off to bed.

In Hungary, a key Orbán tactic in dismantling their democracy was that his allies bought media outlets that were critical of the regime and turned them into loyal cheerleaders for the regime.

If you were under any illusion that Musk would not weaponize the justice department to target his critics and enemies, this should shatter it. This man is a clear and present danger to the entire United States and people need to act like it.

Screenshot of tweet from Elon Musk:

"Matt Gaetz has 3 critical assets that are needed for the AG role: a big brain, a spine of steel and an axe to grind.

He is the Judge Dredd America needs to clean up a corrupt system and put powerful bad actors in prison.

Gaetz will be our Hammer of Justice.

“We cannot abandon the most vulnerable communities to assuage the most powerful. Even if we did, it would never be enough. The goal posts would keep moving until progressive politics became indistinguishable from conservative politics.” - @roxanegay.bsky.social with bars. Read on.

I went in skeptical. But when Betelgeuse said, ‘I’m powerless! And invisible! I’m like a gay Republican!’ I knew it was going to be a good show.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it. Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

Headline reading

Trump Judge Blocks Overtime Pay For 4 Million Workers

The overtime rule is one of the most far-reaching economic reforms that President Joe Biden has fought for.

We know that trauma can be passed down through generations, even to the point of being inscribed in DNA. Black people, especially Black women, have been about the work of ending this cycle for decades. Conversely, logic should tell us that traumatizing behavior can also be generational. 1/

I would never dare post a picture of a cute animal to solicit engagement and follows. Anyway, here’s my dog Yoshi when he was but a wee pup.

So the guy who is under a House ethics committee investigation for sex trafficking BY HIS OWN PARTY is being appoint AG? I don’t want a single MAGA telling me they care about saving children from trafficking. 😑

This quote is at the top of my syllabus this semester. It has echoed in my mind every time I’ve stepped into the classroom since the election.

Welp. The cat I’ve been caring for who stays under my porch seems to be pregnant. If the cat lottery is real, I suppose I hit the jackpot.
