Under the Trump Regime, Theology is a professional degree but public health and nursing aren’t.

@drjudystone.bsky.social explains the implications of this and why it will cause harm in her latest.
What Is A “Professional Degree” And Why Does It Matter?

So an ad for the Tennessee 7th district special election came up while I was watching history stuff on youtube and, uh, this is its centerpiece.

Conservatives *really* hate trans and queer people.

This new movie about Russia's independent journalists is harrowing, but not hopeless

He also said in the deposition that he doesn’t tweet himself. That’s for the comms people. Yes, someone’s federally paid job is to tweet this stuff.

Longer term, imo, North Carolina needs to make sure he doesn’t use his Watauga roots to get into the US house or somesuch representing NC.

Reading the deposition he gave in Chicago you can understand why it is that Judge Ellis tore into him.

The first substantive question is "What is your role in Operation Midway Blitz?" Bovino essentially gives his title and no further details. 8 pages later, the lawyer gives up.

Two things we learned today:

1. Pete Hegseth murdered *suspected* drug runners.

2. Donald Trump pardoned a *convicted* drug trafficker.

That’s where we are, folks.

Personally, I think it's a bad thing when people in the government post AI images without disclosing that they're AI.

I’ve never worked this hard for five tiny shark teeth, nor been so grateful to find any that I could cry. Trip has been saved and my heart is full!

Also found something rarer for me— the fragile white “dove” from the inside of a sand dollar! Only the second I’ve ever found in my life!

It is no oversight that Pentagon boat attack videos present no legal justification. Their purpose is to inure us to arbitrary violence. We are the targets: www.counterpunch.org/2025/09/12/t...
