“American colleges, especially the most selective ones, are confronting the dual problems of rampant grade inflation and declining rigor,” @rosehorowitch.bsky.social writes. “Teacher evaluations are a big part of how higher education got to this point.”

Suffering can help people awaken.
What keeps me from collapsing into depression is the hope that the pendulum must swing back, ushering in the most woke, empathetic, emotionally intelligent era of society - I want it so woke I’m continually annoyed by the concessions we all must make. I want to wake up to biases I didn’t know I had.

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought."

Instead of “Alligator Alcatraz” or “Alligator Auschwitz”, let me suggest that we call it simply the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp.
Hang the name on Florida. Make them own this disgraceful moment in U.S. history. Make our grandchildren lobby to change the name of Dade County out of shame.

Beautiful Lola #A5696403 initially landed in Lancaster CA as a stray. She was then transferred to Castaic CA and has waited there for two months and out of time. An urgent plea has just gone out for her. This beautiful girl is just 2 years old and her behavior notes at Lancaster were wonderful.

in addition to protesting peacefully, how you spend your money can effect change, especially if it’s coordinated at a larger scale. such as, ignore Prime Day. #primeday #moneytalks #oligarchs

This quote by Tommy Douglas came to mind after I watched Trump revel in the enslavement of immigrants in the USA.
It makes me wonder if the oligarchs asked Trump for free slave labour so they could make more profits.
And, of course, Trump obliged
