When I taught in Ohio, a student came out to me in the middle of explaining why he had thrown a desk at another student who called him "fruity." The second the words left his mouth, his eyes grew wide and he went silent.

trump's cabinet picks seem geared towards "owning the libs," but I've never felt LESS owned than I do by watching that clueless clod make boneheaded picks that reinforce our warnings that he's a fucking moron.
Go ahead, "go wild" with Matt Gaetz and RFK Jr.
We'll see you at midterms.
