I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

Here's an issue from the Purdue Univ. student paper, The Exponent, dealing with the IU censorship of their student paper. Purdue put it in IU news boxes. (Purdue & IU are normally huge sports rivals.)

I’m so damn proud of these students. So damn proud.

I absolutely never thought about it this way and…jeez. Yes.
i had to look up my own dissertation because i forgot the title. i hate it so much and i was wrong about a lot.

so, hey, dissertators: it's okay to write a shitty dissertation. get those credentials. even if you leave academia, this doesn't have to be your last word on your topic.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Newly relevant. Among other things, SCOTUS' disrespect for the lower courts' backbreaking work is stunning. Detailed rulings & fact-findings met w shadow docket proclamations like, "the administrative stay is granted," or "the govt is likely to prevail [no further detail,] so stay is granted."
Since May:

Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time.

Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time.

A judiciary at war with itself.

Just popping in from the north woods again to say it again: Trump and the republicans are openly stating their goal is the invasion and military takeover of major blue cities including the countries capital because they see blue states and cities as enemy territory to be conquer by force.
Trump suggests taking over New York City and Washington
President Trump suggested a federal takeover of New York City and Washington, claiming a "tremendous power at the White House to run places when we have to."

Does it get more clear and in the open?
Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners?

TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country

deported* a 2 year old citizen without due process

* doesn't sound like deportation to me!
NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.

I answered Top Secret earlier, but this one, a gif for which I will likely never find in the wild, clearly deserves a nod.

Shitcan whoever signs off on this.
4/ This honestly is perhaps the most insane thing we’ve heard since Jan 20. Musk, Thiel and Luckey want the US to pay for the creation of this network of surveillance and attack lasers and then the Pentagon will become a subscriber to the service. So the US won’t own our own missile defense.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.
