Former UVA President Jim Ryan has just released a 12-page memo of his own account of his forced resignation last summer. Here’s just a bit in which Paul Manning, a member of the Board, was told by DOJ that unless Ryan departed they would “bleed UVA white.”

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.

Probably because we have completed the coven's major task: ruining the workplace.
"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups"

Sit down kids and let me tell you about Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, and Kevin McCarthy. You see, they were called the "young guns" and the party listened to them for a while.
Dems have a real future in generational talents like AOC and now Mamdani.
But instead of seizing on them, party leaders poo poo their ideas and damn them with faint praise about how they’ve energized young people *where they are* but aren’t really a model for anywhere else.
GOP doesn’t do this.

JUST IN: Katie Wilson significantly extends her lead in the Seattle mayoral race.
She now leads Mayor Bruce Harrell by 1,346 votes, or 0.5%.
That's up from the squeaker-lead of 91 votes in yesterday's update). She won today's batch of nearly 6K ballots by 20% (!).
Not much left at this point.
