As an alumna of UVA, I am sad and angry. Jefferson (whom I don’t revere, but like most Hoos, I admire his passion for higher education and independence) must be rolling in his grave.

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform.
I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

Did anyone else see the straight up Trump propaganda commercial before the Chiefs/Bills game? Like a campaign ad, but just, “Trump is awesome. Yay America.” I haven’t seen anything about it. Was I dreaming (nightmare-ing)?

This woman is doing the Lord’s work.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

I 100% support Blake Lively. I can admit the smear campaign worked on me. I believed she was “difficult, flighty, rude” etc. What a coincidence that the same people who are doubling down now - despite 80 pages of evidence - also cannot recognize the propaganda that they fall for every day.

Anyone else super invested in the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament? I’m rooting for Nebraska because I love the visibility they’ve brought to the sport, Penn State because their coach is a motivation, and Louisville because ACC (and I arbitrarily don’t like Pitt 🤷🏻♀️) #EveryoneWatchesWomensSports

Lurking on Threads. Man commented on a benign story about yoga that he wasn’t a misogynist but had to advocate for men in our misandrist society. Next comment he said women are nothing but uteruses. I live in a bubble of decent men; it’s always terrifying to be reminded that some men think this way.
