I think in part the higher education funding crisis and the LLM-teaching crisis actually strike at the same problem, which is that education doesn't work without a broad, society-wide sense that the *actual content* of education - not the credential - is valuable.

Why are the democrats so focused on matching public option, except the one that says their entire leadership sucks and should be replaced.

I don't trust Gavin Newsom at all. Not one bit. Any leader who calls the denial of due process and detainment and deportation of a legal resident of this country a "distraction" is just not someone I can trust.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

One of the weirder things to learn about from the administration is that, apparently, Cheryl Hines is apparently a piece of shit.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!
Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

Universities will win if they stick together and focus on what's actually important - non-profit teaching and research towards the public good - and ditch this neoliberal idea that the university is just a business like any other.

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process.

I’m getting word from insider sources that the government has detained a group of six-year-olds in a windowless room and is forcing them to generate executive orders via Mad Libs

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

If a future Democratic trifecta wanted to float a trial balloon on expanding the Supreme Court, they should expand the lower courts to the point that their appointments in red states are the majority. And scrap the convention of giving the senators of a state a say in who gets nominated.

They should remake Being John Malkovich three more times, but each time the four leads rotate roles. I'm personally looking forward to Being Catherine Keener where the Johns play a married couple who are seduced by Cameron Diaz.

How cheap would shit have to be before you'd be tempted to eat it?
here's a thought experiment: how cheap would a new tesla have to get before you'd be tempted to buy it, even with all the stigma? like, I hate the guy and the brand is toxic but would say, a new model x for $12,000 be tempting enough to offset getting your car keyed every day?
Brutal numbers. Absolutely brutal.
