I am very, very, very, VERY tired of trying to write a dissertation in this political climate. Can’t even escape the news by writing; my topic is too close to how we got here. 🫠

America is always like “ok but the NEXT regime change will work,” like when I “cut out carbs” briefly every January.

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references.
It's brutal.
And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.
i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!
A New York City doctor said he will continue providing gender-affirming treatments to his patients younger than 19 despite President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to ban such care.

how faculty and students were treated during resistance of the genocide on Palestine was an indicator of how university admins would act now

My favorite lib tic is their tendency to randomly attack the USSR and China when arguing against fascists.
And I guarantee you they don’t know shit about either. While we were taught a ton in K12 about Hitler, no one ever elaborated on Stalin except to say they were basically the same.

“Extreme MAGA Republicans” is such a stupid thing to say. Republicans. Full stop. Stop acting like this is a fringe element of the party. There are no friends to be found here. No bipartisanship worth pursuing (if there ever has been). Spineless coward.
Extreme MAGA Republicans spent last year promising to lower costs.
And lying about their connection to Project 2025.
They have spent this year implementing the extreme Project 2025 agenda.
And haven’t done a damn thing to lower the high cost of living.

I cannot believe “politicians should have to earn votes through doing good things” is a controversial statement
Like you libs are also in love with capitalism, so you should know you have a product you have to convince people to buy. Idk ask your corporate donors how to sell products or something

If you are advertising some random-ass general strike date, I’m just straight up going to assume you’re a plant.
What organization are you representing? “The public”? Who is calling the strike or protest? If you don’t tell me, it’s not a real fucking strike or protest.

Everyone not cool with the current regime right now is looking for some savior to come in and give guidance. We could be in for a run of some real grifters and opportunists in the next few years.

Think the big misunderstsnding amongst liberals is the left does take fascism and the right as a serious threat more so than the dems, but their staunch critiscism of liberals is because they dont want to go into this fight with a bunch of allies who are going to make excuses or worse sell them out
