That asshole fired all the people who help kids with disabilities in education.

Fuck him. Fuck everyone who enabled him

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

I went to a wedding in Madison last year and a relative of Ryan’s was there… they all despise him. Total fraud.

I’m not sure whose face is more punchable, his or Paul, File Your Taxes on a Post Card Ryan, but I strongly dislike both.

that johnson is more terrified of seating a duly elected democrat who could force an epstein vote than having the entire government shut down really makes me wonder about that epstein vote tbh

I assume you’ve read Who is Government by Michael Lewis. Everyone should read it.

It’s terrible. The stories from his time in Yemen.. incredible.

BetsyGriebs @bgriebs.bsky.social · 5d

Terrible, Illinois Senators. Just terrible. You take your voters for granted. Oh, and my husband is a Peace Corps volunteer. Want to thank him for his service?

Was reading a Reddit thread.. one post said their library logs showed ordering from B & T in 1902. It’s a monumental thing, and if libraries don’t have an account w Ingram, they aren’t accepting new accounts. So, guess who’s stepping in?

BetsyGriebs @bgriebs.bsky.social · 5d

Well deserved. 😊

@bcdreyer.social Have you heard about the debacle at Baker and Taylor, the once vaunted book distributor to public libraries nationwide? Hundreds out of work. Had been in business in Illinois for more than a hundred years.

There’s a reason academics universally rejected the initial push to canonize Charlie Kirk as a saint devoted to free speech.

We know all too well that’s the exact opposite of reality.

I know this case is all over - & it should be - but Turning Point USA has waged a harassment campaign against faculty for more than a decade. I know of at least a half dozen other faculty, personally, who have received death threats and several of those who felt so unsafe they too left their homes

David Ho @davidho.bsky.social · 5d

Are we great yet?

Mark Bray, a Rutgers University professor and expert on anti-fascist groups, is fleeing to Spain with his family due to death threats that stem from a campaign by Turning Point USA and other conservative groups to get him fired, falsely labeling him as an antifa member.
