Here's a nearly 10-minute supercut of Troy Jackson taking it to Susan Collins during their debate tonight, including Jackson telling her "you can't eat road salt" and "Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

One hallmark of self-described "estranged parents" is "missing missing reasons." When you ask them to explain their children's reasoning, the most detailed response you'll get is "they complained about some things but it was total nonsense." Their minds reject the possibility of a rational break.

I like how this frames physical and emotional abuse as the only reasons for going no or low contact. Sometimes your family just fucking sucks to be around, and guess what!? You’re a person with independent will and can make your own choices about whether to be around them.

In fairness to UATX they're planning on running the "law school" without accredidation, so it's not actually going to be a "law school" in any real sense of the word. At least they won't be charging tuition! No, really; they're not planning on charging tuition for their not-actually-a-law school.
