absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.

The University of Virginia has capitulated to Trump on transgender and race (affirmative action) issues.

The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

That includes any race-based scholarships and programs, including any promotion of external scholarships that consider race, and DEI trainings and workshops. Institutions were also told they should no longer prioritize “underrepresented groups” for admissions or hiring, and they must prohibit transgender students from playing on sports teams and using facilities designated for women and girls.

UVA "agrees to be bound by [DoJ's] 'Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination,' ensuring that UVA does not engage in unlawful racial discrimination in its university programming, admissions, hiring, or other activities." bluevirginia.us/2025/10/brea...

Today, the U.S. Department of Justice announced an agreement with the University of Virginia (“UVA”) that will protect UVA’s students, faculty, and employees from violations of federal civil rights laws, including from discrimination based on race, sex, or national origin.

As part of the agreement, the University of Virginia agrees to be bound by the Department of Justice’s “Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination,” ensuring that UVA does not engage in unlawful racial discrimination in its university programming, admissions, hiring, or other activities. UVA will provide relevant information and data to the Department of Justice on a quarterly basis through 2028. The President of UVA will personally certify each quarter that UVA is in compliance with the agreement. The Department will pause its pending investigations into the university’s admissions policies and other civil rights concerns. The United States shall treat UVA as eligible for future grants and awards. If UVA completes its planned reforms prohibiting DEI at the university, the Department will close its investigations against UVA.

“This notable agreement with the University of Virginia will protect students and faculty from unlawful discrimination, ensuring that equal opportunity and fairness are restored,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division. “We appreciate the progress that the university has made in combatting antisemitism and racial bias, and other American universities should be on alert that the Justice Department will ensure that our federal civil rights laws are enforced for every American, without exception.”

When Trump is gone - the ballroom must go, too (if it actually gets built).

We must rebuild the White House. The People's House.

What a fucking metaphor.

New on MSNBC: The entire East Wing of the White House will be demolished "within days."

Trump said in July his project "won't interfere with the current building."

He's trying to get people to believe this is inevitable so that they give up their power and money to him.

IT'S NOT.

Don't fall for this BS, but do keep pushing for AI regulation.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 18h

I don’t often agree with Elon Musk, but I fear that he may be right when he says, “AI and robots will replace all jobs.”

So what happens to workers who have no jobs and no income?

AI & robotics must benefit all of humanity, not just billionaires.

"Trump is shredding our Constitution. Is it okay for masked federal agents to arrest people off the street because of their skin color … Not in a free America."

I really think that Trump no longer has his own thoughts.

There's just a jumble of BS floating around his head that's fed to him on a daily basis and ends up spewed into a microphone.
