Very funny that a woman who built her career over getting canceled (she quit) is now canceling her staff.

Remigration is a white nationalist idea: immigrants of color voluntarily leave America for their native countries,making America whiter. That the State Department and White House are openly promoting it is an obvious tell - as if another one was needed - about the Trump regime’s goal.

We agree with the St. John’s University @aaup.org and Faculty Association members—union busting is unholy. St. John's is arbitrarily withdrawing recognition of its faculty unions, which have stood with staff for 50 years. The future of academia needs staff voices. #HandsOffSJUfaculty

CBS and Fox News LIED that the alleged shooter's manifest was "anti-Christian." No doubt to infer the shooter was Muslim. In reality he is very proudly Christian and his manifesto talks about his obligation as a Christian to not be complicit in Trump's crimes. nypost.com/2026/04/26/u...

Too many of our kids are getting killed, because of thoughtless assholes like Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. This mass shooting today happened in his own district. He said “thoughts and prayers” but did nothing AGAIN. Remember this when we can take back the House in November.

Trump is demanding $10 billion because a contractor (not an IRS employee) leaked some of his data. OK, then. It seems only fair that each of the 300,000,000+ Americans whose personal tax and Social Security data was leaked by DOGE receive the same renumeration. That's $300,000,000,000,000+.
