I guess the NYTimes can't print "free pussy in alum pu" (because readers are fragile flowers), but does anything think that describing that Snapchat post as "encouraging [other frat members] to enter the bedroom where Jane Doe was undressed" is an accurate summary of its meaning?

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social 100% this piece. Ken Martin epitomizes the old, broken digital fundraising strategy, while Ben Wikler is the organizer. It was a disaster to choose Martin over Wikler. Why haven't the Dems changed horses? Wikler clearly wants the job.

When Trump bullies/bribes/threatens/blackmails the winner of this year's World Cup into giving him the trophy, will be believe that he was the star player or the coach of the team? At 5 years old, my son understood that stealing a trophy didn't make you the actual winner.
