This is where I work. Access to a liberal arts education is about to disappear for poor, first-gen kids in Oklahoma.

Changes Roil Oklahoma Liberal Arts College
Faculty and students are sounding the alarm about recent changes at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma—changes many believe undermine its mission as a public liberal arts college.

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

why do you refer to Jared kushner as a "US envoy" what's his official title in the US government, what background check did he pass? the media has failed everyone.

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

This. It’s the loss of who we aspire to be. There’s just so much openly evil shit in the world that we acutely feel the loss of something genuinely good.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

The images of the earthquake in Colombia are devastating and heartbreaking. I pray for everyone impacted, including #MA7 families away from loved ones. The US must support recovery efforts, and my office is ready to help constituents seeking information about relatives or resources on the ground.

We’re all getting screwed—Democrats and Republicans alike. The billionaires who run this country don’t care about your politics, they only care about their profits. They don’t see Red or Blue—they see Green. They see us as one opposing team. So we might as well act like one.

Thing on Reddit that made me say Huh. Also credits this essay: srutiosocial.com/led-zeppelin...
Led Zeppelin released Kashmir in 1975 on Physical Graffiti. Jimmy Page wrote the riff in DADGAD tuning, a modal tuning that produces an open, droning sound incapable of resolving neatly. John Bonham laid a drum pattern underneath that does not swing, does not groove, and does not relent. It marches. Robert Plant wrote the lyrics two years earlier while driving through the Sahara toward a folklore festival, staring at a road with no apparent end. The song runs eight minutes and thirty-seven seconds. The riff climbs, reaches what feels like a peak, and loops back. It never resolves. Page called it the greatest Led Zeppelin riff. He was right, and the reason it is the greatest is the reason it is also the most accurate diagram of a corporate career in 2026.

If you have *real* evidence of election fraud, you file a lawsuit. But if you are a pathetic sore loser who wants desperately to believe any fiction that excuses your actual loss, you go on TV where, unlike in court, you won’t be held accountable for your brazen and ridiculous lies.

When you’re chronically ill you experience symptoms daily that would send a healthy person to the hospital. We can’t go to the hospital every time something hurts. If we did, we would live there. That’s life with chronic illness. You adjust to constant suffering.

To be clear, the UFC arena at the bulldozed White House isn’t just trashy, tacky, disrespectful and inappropriate, it is also an illegal corrupt for-profit scheme, destruction of govt property and another way for a sadistic criminal and his rabid KKK cultists to promote violence.

The media now started calling Beirut's southern suburbs a "Hezbollah stronghold." Dahiyeh is a densely populated part of a capital city. Striking entire civilian neighborhoods is not counterterrorism. It's a war crime.

This, from Pelley's interview today, is such a good articulation of a problem I've had with so many of these MAGA people. The insulting hubris to take a job with no qualifications or experience. It sticks in my craw.
This is like somebody
walking up to me and saying,
"There's a 747, there are 400 people on it, we need you to fly it to Paris." I'm going to decline because I don't have a clue. And it would have been so much better if Bari Weiss had been offered this job and said, "Oh, that's not for me, I don't know how to do that."

Exxon announced that oil prices could spike from $150-$160 a barrel in the coming weeks Trump has already depleted our strategic reserves & they have not been this slow since 1983. So prepare for gas to be $10-$12/gallon here in CA & about $8/gallon nationally with no end to the war in sight.
