Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

Is there a single genocidal terrorist that Trump won't stump for in exchange for some compliments and a party?
I would call it shameful and disgraceful but the President is a worm without morals or ethics to speak of. An offense to the worms in this analogy.

Historically speaking, a pope that stands up to Nazis is a welcome surprise.
one thing that's really different between this regime and the Nazis is the consistent, enthusiastic opposition of the Catholic church. 1
Pope Leo has now repeatedly made clear that he believes US corporate media's coverage of the Trump immigration war is not professionally responsible or correct and that it accepts Trump's pretexts for action as truth whereas they are palpable lies.

I am the 12th generation of my family to live on this continent, and the first of those not to own my own land or home. I see this attitude in my dad, an old Yankee farmer who no longer owns land.

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much”
SNAP does not drive up grocery prices.
That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed.
For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy.
While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

So. Huh. I guess it’s time for plan b on how I get ice cream tonight, because now I REALLY need chocolate ice cream.
Not only did the scoop break, but then I accidentally knocked my bowl off the counter and it shattered on the floor. 😩 😑
