Didn’t have “Jerome Powell will demonstrate the biggest ‘Fuck you make me’ energy you’ve ever seen” on my bingo card but, fuck it, we move.
Powell, showing more guts than almost any GOP legislators:

"The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Fed setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President."

i think powell's response here is a demonstration of the folly of the idea that democratic accountability requires presidential control. what if the president is not acting in the public interest? you want independent agencies to be able to push back and pursue their *congressional mandate*

Cutting funding for life-saving research has nothing to do with attacking antisemitism.

It has everything to do with attacking science, universities, and California.

And sadly, it is our health, our knowledge and our economy that will pay the price.

I was in this weekend academic program through my mom's union and I'm never forget that they randomly had a Black actor from RENT stop by. He brought us tickets. Someone asked him to give us a shout out in the performance. That man got on stage and pointed and sang to us. We went off.

This is also a combination of things recommended for perimenopausal women. Funny that they’re not the one’s running around trying to make their identity your problem, though.

Enjoyed seeing this wholesome guy just noping all of Fox's leading questions. It was like

Q:Don't you thinks she was wrong?

A: No obviously ICE was wrong

Q: What about the people who shouldn't be here?

A: Obviously they should be here

Q: Anything el--

A: I have a bell!

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.

I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.

Time to melt ICE.

I've offered to Zoom with Aaron's class anytime he wants, and that offer goes for any other teacher or professor whose administration has banned WHITE FLIGHT from their classroom.
@kevinmkruse.bsky.social Thought you should know that five days before class starts, Tarleton U (part of the A&M system) explained to me that I wasn't allowed to teach your book "White Flight" because the title has the word "White" in it.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Logging off socials for the day. My country is openly murdering people in foreign nations and our own streets. Gonna spend the rest of today throwing things and then leaving volatile voice messages for politicians.

This assumes fans ever had faith in INEOS. The vibes. They never seemed good.
‘I think the fans have lost faith in Ineos’

In October Manchester United minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe claimed that Ruben Amorim could only be judged in three years.

Three months later and Amorim has been sacked by the United hierarchy.
