Of course, I also don’t think the OU student who wrote the shitty Bible essay was doing so in good faith. It’s a classic cancellation stunt and OU is ensuring that it will continue to be a profitable and popular grift that continues to threatens the entire education system

If you are married to a US spouse, your temporary visa (usually for 3 months) will lapse before your case is processed. The government allowed you could stay in the US while awaiting case processing. Now the Trump admin is saying that is a visa overstay and arresting the spouses.

While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try.

There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

JFC Oklahoma you fuckin cowards. Now every Jesus-freak right-wing student who can't get a passing grade for a bunch of bible quotes masquerading as an essay is going to file a 1st amendment complaint. You gonna suspend the whole Biology department for teaching about evolution? (Don't answer that)

Sigh, I kind of hate to comment on the discourse of the day, but in no way is there any indication that a party adopted a new official slogan. Don't take the bait.

There will be a new "official" slogan, such as it is, in about 2 years.

Status report: It's Thanksgiving leftovers day 3. There are no rules anymore and nothing matters. Turkey tacos? Great. Green bean casserole lasagna with gravy sauce? Classic.
Mashed potato milkshakes? Makes sense to me. You don't owe anyone anything. Spread your wings and fly.

Rabbiatu is a nurse who worked during COVID, had been in the U.S. 30 years. A judge ordered that she could not be sent back to Sierra Leone for her safety, for fear of torture (!). So our evil regime sent her to Ghana (in shackles), and Ghana dragged her back to Sierra Leone.
🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana.

Trump deported her there.

This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years.

All the details below are worse.

Rabbiatu Kuyateh was detained this summer at her annual ICE check-in, her son said. She moved to the D.C. area 30 years ago as she fled civil war in Sierra Leone.

Kelly is doing a great job of hitting their slow pitch down the middle
Mark Kelly: "We have a president who doesn't understand the Constitution, who installed an unqualified secretary of defense. I cannot think of a secretary of defense in the history of our country that is less qualified than Pete Hegseth. He should've been fired after Signal-gate."

Who still plays with trains? I do! Today started out with the South Park Zephyr doing its thing, but it got to be a manageable temperature in the roundhouse, eventually.

Among other things, we finally cut a hole in the oil bunker for human access. And then I welded the access riser on.

Ok look, I've seen a lot of professors talking about how students have lost the ability to write the last few years, but... Jesus Christ. Content aside, my 7 year old with a developmental disability who *cannot read* could dictate a better essay than this.

I’m thinking about something that a very wise longtime lawyer said re firms striking deals w Trump: this is about who we are as a profession. Are we going to become fixers who arrange for bribes? Or will we continue to support and operate within the rule of law?
