Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

I honestly think the bigger thing is, "COVID showed that all the people in power were on your side when it comes to you being a piece of shit"

Don't want to get a shot? Want to cough on people? Most of the elites agree and support you! And that extrapolated to *waves hands* all this

I'd heard Sammy had the inevitable heel turn but I'm so behind on watching I hadn't seen it. Boy was born to play an annoying little shit variety of heel. 🤼

Do we have a nickname for him? Because mine (lumbersnack) might not be readily understandable to everyone.🤼

Is everyone backstage putting some rich auburn into their hair for Fall? Jack Perry, both the Bucks. Looks good. 🤼

That was fun. Jurassic Express looks good. Jack Perry's hair looks the best I've ever seen it. 🤼

The beachballs. My heart. I feel like we needed Jurassic Express back on a national level to bring us some healing. 🤼

Goats are so mean and you can tell they take joy in it. When we had them they used to chase down my toddler babysister and knock her over. I swear Nanny Goat laughed.
