Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

This is insane. Any material a prof thinks is necessary but isn’t for formal licensing has to get the signoff of the chair, then dean, then provost?

This is an absolutely mockery of academic freedom.

I feel like Texas Tech HAS to lose its accreditation for this, no? It’s preposterous.
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

He's genuinely incapable of retaining new information. He immediately slides into an unrelated talking point from years ago. Likewise doubling down on "acing" a cognitive test, that's an old bit. It's entirely possible he really can't recall what his doctors (or anybody) very recently told him.
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results

Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.

Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?

Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

Alvin Holsey just took over the US southern command late last year for a position that normally lasts three years

trump has basically been robbing a bank in broad daylight, apparently hoping that the brazenness of the act will scare everyone away from sounding the alarm. but if anyone ever says "hey, wait a second!" - well, now he's suddenly just a guy robbing a bank in broad daylight. good luck with that, bozo

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

Every day we have to be reminded that the UK has the most abjectly feudal, let-them-eat-cake-ass media on the planet.
Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

These pathetic dipshits are all selling the same magic bean back and forth more and more desperately, because they know there no next grift to base on them.

They all know, deep in their weird sex pest technofascist bones, that they have hit the end of the line.

It’s worth remembering that Hegseth came to political prominence advocating for U.S. servicemen accused of war crimes.

And if you haven’t listened to it, I highly recommend listening to this podcast about the (failed) war crimes prosecutions for the Haditha Massacre.

The most openly racist, eugenicist monsters are running the U.S. They will use every opportunity to advance their agenda.

And as the wheels come off their regime they will only grow more brutal and obscene. These are dangerous days for us all.

Straight-up sociopath.

Asked about a Guard member who’s dead because of his bullshit and it takes him 30 seconds to make it all about how great he is.
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.
