Why can't the right win without gerrymandering?
Why can't the right uphold free speech when it isn't about them?
Why can't the right mind their own business?
Why is the right the party of Fuck Your Feelings until it's time to joke about that mediocre podcaster who caught one in the neck?

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Ethnostates are boring. Every single good thing about America is because people came here with their culture and all those cultures smashed together to create new, wonderful things.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

I blame the airlines for much of our current politics so making people more unwilling to fly is fine with me.
Yeah, the American people likely should have been paying more attention to getting a Real ID since 2005 - AND this is still a lovely stinking albatross of consumer rage we can hang around MAGA’s neck, so I’m ALL in on blaming this squarely on Trump.
TSA to start charging travelers $45 if they don't have a Real ID. Here are the details.
Flyers without Real IDs, passports or other accepted forms of identification will need to pay a $45 fee starting Feb. 1.

Does OU want to demonstrate to students that they can get special treatment as long as they can trigger (here, right-wing) outrage? Because...there are some foreseeable consequences there, none of them good for OU.

OU's actions against a graduate instructor are appalling.
This is why we need stronger grad unions.

OU is in the wrong if it is treating this situation differently than it would any other grade appeal. Does OU usually suspend instructors at the outset of a grade appeal? Does it usually make statements to the media about the actions they've taken against the instructor?

If universities were properly publicly funded and their mission was education, instead of acting as concierge sycophants for customers who pay them for accreditations, a lot of this 'fire the teacher, here's a bad grade to justify why, garbage would stop.'

one of the things about transphobia that grinds you down on a daily basis is not the active stuff that happens to you, but the knowledge that you're almost destined to lose whatever social conflict you might have with a cis person

There is a well coordinated national campaign targeting a single trans professor at Oklahoma University to get her fired. It's part of a broader campaign to push trans people out of public life entirely. It was never about sports.

There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

I realized at seventeen that if I enlisted, I would be at risk of being ordered to do things I thought were morally wrong and I was fortunate enough to have other options. Someone who signs up after Trump's first term has less excuse of being ignorant of the moral weight of volunteering.
