Newsom spent the last year working to prove he's an across-the-aisle guy who can work with — and befriend — even fascists. This is what it got him. This is why you don't associate with them in any capacity whatsoever.

It's happening 🚨 House GOP representatives are about to introduce a bill that would completely eliminate subsidized student loans. They are trying to make it impossible to go to college unless you can afford to pay for it upfront.

So the Epstein files release, one of the single most important things to GOP voters in 2024, and what Massie fought for more than any other politician, is what lead to his defeat in a GOP primary. If the press writes another think piece about the GOP I will lose my fing mind.

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

In open education spaces there is a lot of discussion around the dangers of "platformization" and how decision-making around education is often offloaded to edtech companies and publishers at the detriment to both educators and learners.
