Thank you sis for posting this. I’ll be on WURD at 8:20am this morning breaking my response to NHJ NYT article. BLUF: I was the daughter in the story and I still carry the scars from my high school years.

1. There will be foreign actors involved. THEIRS. 2. Which they will intend to pretend cheated for the Democrats when they fail to help Republicans win 3. Trump gets to frame the Democrats for foreign collusion I'm not saying it will work. But this is their plan.

Can’t recall if I shared on here how much I love this show called Great Courses. It’s a series of lectures from scholars in their fields. One of my favorite lectures is on the Federalist Papers. The call to be a constitutional scholar is still there. But, no more degrees for me. I have enough. 😂😩

This is so interesting. What do you think makes that career path so appealing? Back in the 1970s, Watergate drove many of us into journalism careers.

And, 9/11 drove many of us to national security. It’s big social and fuityrak shifts that drive folks to certain industries. I think the collapse of the myth of the American Dream is causing it.

26 & 28 are the assignment. He’s a flame thrower. He’s a chaos agent, not at all useful or substanvite. You will never win me over by rhetoric that does nothing but sow distrust & negativity about the party that is trying every damn day. Talking shit without substance tells me you’re a clown.

I 1000% feel this. No one should be expected to know the effects of another person's disability. When a person uses their disability in a way that makes you the one in the wrong(in that person's eyes) is maddening. Even knowing what the disability is doesn't mean anyone would know all it encompasses

Dr. Nola Haynes @drnolahaynes.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
She responded again and made herself the victim. I called her out again bc I’d NEVER weaponize my disability against another person bc of an innocuous social media post.

I had to unfollow @thetnholler.bsky.social across platforms. Their choice to lean so hard into amplifying & cheerleading for Hasan Piker feels like a giant eff you to the Black community. I’m sad bc I really liked them until now.

I respect the disability community bc I’m part of it. I’d never say something so awful to another person bc of my disability. This is a peak macro-aggressive, it’s nothing micro about it.

Professor, I've got questions: 1. Why hasn't the Navy either sent supply ships to this vessel to resupply it, or rotate this vessel out & replace it with another? 2. Why hasn't the Senate & House Oversight Committees hauled in Hegseth to explain why this happened & what is he going to do fix this?
