Trump on Brown University: You would really have to ask the school about that because this was a school problem. They had their own guards, their own police, their own everything but you would have to ask that question to the school and not to the FBI.

The Trump admin, in its quest to eliminate the entire concept of asylum from the law and get rid of all asylum applicants without hearing their cases, wants to deport a Chinese dissident to Uganda, despite the fact that he has a slam-dunk asylum claim.

College graduates are entering one of the worst job markets and Trump is ending student loan forgiveness (SAVE) which allowed repayment based on income. Also denying all new applications due to claim of increasing federal debt but still give tax breaks to billionaires.

‘All In The Family’ was Broadway 🎭 right in our tv rooms. Drama, comedy, a slice of life, getting an audience to evaluate themselves.

Providence Police just posted this video to X, apparently depicting a "person of interest" in the Brown University shooting.

"We are sharing a video of a person of interest and plan to release additional video as part of the ongoing investigation."

I will miss Rob Reiner for his dear heart, acting, directing, creating, & participating in good trouble for the common good. ‘All In The Family’ was must see tv. CBS on Saturday night was the best thing happening.

On the CBS townhall — where Erika Kirk was given a chance to “open up on faith, grief, [and} political violence — she was asked: “Will you condemn the violent rhetoric of Donald Trump, the most powerful and influential person on earth?”

She would not.

It’s 8:53am, it’s 11° without wind chill figured in. I & probably a great majority of the world wonder when a particular swine will reach his expiration date, & will it get any better with the entrenchment of extreme greed & malicious reasoning corrupting/destroying Democracy.

tRump & his cabinet like siting how many people have been killed by Russia invading Ukraine, as a justification for ending the war favorably for Putin. But when National Guard troops deployed to American cities (2!) or students killed by automatic weapons, he says “things happen”, no half staff flag

Hey MAGA bigots,
sorry to fuck up your "deport all Muslims" narrative, but the hero who risked his life to save others by disarming one of the terrorists at Bondi Beach in Australia was a 43-year-old Muslim named Ahmed al Ahmed.

No parent should ever have to choose between medicine for their kid or groceries for their family.

But since Republicans voted 13 times to let the health care tax credits expire, millions of American families could be forced to do just that

In order to "protect women" Texas made it so that women have to go through armed guards with an ID check. They literally created a potty police.
