This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

PRIMARY EVERY DEMOCRAT WHO BOWS TO TRUMP.

The people deserve better and can do better than these cowards.
These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP.

Schumer
Fetterman
Cortez Masto
Durbin
King
Shaheen
Gillibrand
Schatz
Hassan
Peters

Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Between this and the Columbia stuff I hope everyone understands that when you compromise with fascists the result is the same.

The only difference in the end is, they got you to contribute to the project of your own annihilation
So am I understanding correctly that the GOP threatened to defund DC of its own money if they didn't tear up the BLM thing

And then DC tore up the BLM thing

And now the GOP is defunding them anyway

Watching our petty tyrant of a president scold an until-recent ally for ingratitude is beyond despicable. Zelenskyy is an admirable leader, defending his homeland from an imperial invasion. Trump and Putin are fascists. I feel what the Ukrainian ambassador was feeling here

This stuff is genuinely so dumb. EVEN IF AI skills were useful, or in demand, which they aren't, why would that mean you specifically need to develop them in my specific class on my specific assignments. Take an AI class! Who cares!
No, they're not caught between anything. Stop it. The fact that AI may be used or useful in future jobs does not create a single dilemma at all for college students in how to actually complete their coursework. This is all nonsense & excuses for not doing the reading & learning how to think & write.
College students caught between professors' AI bans and employers' growing demand for AI skills
Research shows 75% of workers now use artificial intelligence on the job, yet many universities still classify its use as cheating.
