Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Neurodivergent people have existed far longer than Tylenol, but yes please find new ways to blame women for something with zero actual scientific evidence.

Question:
When in the actual fuck, as a country, did we decide that our government gets to demand that we mourn someone in some particular way?

Must be noted that Kirk was both following and leading an even more rightward surge. He went from indifference to faith to militant Christianity, from praising MLK to damning him, from disengagement from LGBTQ+ politics to endorsing Leviticus’s call for execution.

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.”
So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

And now Texas A&M has FIRED an instructor who was talking about gender identity in the context of children’s lit, claiming she violated SB 17. She clearly did NOT. This is insane.

I keep thinking about how Gov Abbott had plenty of funds to fly and bus migrants all across the country but couldn't come up with a million for a flood warning system.

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

This is truly terrible, terrible news. Absolutely devastating if he is allowed to do this.
Trump is attacking every source of university income (research grant cancellations, a proposed endowment tax, cutting Pell Grant eligibility and in the 'big beautiful bill' changing the student loan program). It's a declaration of fiscal war on universities with students as collateral damage.
Trump planning to make it harder to go to college (unless you're rich) by cutting both Pell Grants and work study programs, all to give massive tax cuts to billionaires.

STYLE GUIDE: groceries (define on first usage)
Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."

The first George Bush spoke at my undergrad commencement (Go Blue, 1991). I was not a fan of Papi Bush, but dang, this was so much worse.
First, never believe anything he says. Second, why is he giving his political rally speech to graduating seniors?

Someone get me out of this insane authoritarian state. Please. I don’t deserve this.
It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.
It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.
