The fact that TPUSA posted the entirely reasonable comments from the instructor here as coming from the “TRANS PROFESSOR” gives away the game.

They’re not defending students, they’re targeting faculty — as always
idk not to mention how very nuanced and normal the actual response here was

My cat bestowed my titles. I am known as, “Biped: Opener of Cans, Hider of Treats, Cleaner of the Litter Box”.
Whatever else may go wrong today, I have the same number of royal titles as when I got up this morning.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

It's remarkable to see the dissonance between a call to "make America skilled again" and an AI-generated image used in lieu of contracting anybody with actual skill.

Drain the swamp? Seems pretty swampy to me.
"During the transition, law enforcement officials notified the incoming administration about the case as Mr. Trump’s team considered whom to appoint to to government positions..."

And they still gave him the job!

Did he keep the $50k?

And what was his Cava order?

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

This is unreal.

Jesus would be hanging out with the people Brian Kilmeade wants the state to murder.

They do not follow God
I hardly believe my own ears.

FOX host Brian Kilmeade suggests KILLING homeless people.

BRIAN KILMEADE (FOX HOST): Or involuntary lethal injection.

JONES: Yeah.

KILMEADE : Or something. Just kill them.
