Hi 👋🏻 here's some of what I like and enjoy in no particular order... the Pittsburgh Penguins, reading Romance, movies, music, true crime, Survivor (though I don't ever post about it because I loathe spoilers), and listening to podcasts about all of them!

6,000 faculty members at Penn State has filed for a union.
These professors and other faculty will vote on unionizing in the coming year.
If they win their union it will be the largest public union in Pennsylvania.

Guys it’s not just that they want to remove Abrego Garcia from this country. They could probably remove him to Costa Rica.
They want to deport him to somewhere that will kill and/or torture him. That’s the issue.

The University of Nebraska is closing their statistics department. Especially if you're all in on AI this is so short-sighted. It's like launching the first spacecraft into outer space and being like "welp time to close astrophysics and rocketry and only teach classes on buckling up your seat belts"

President Trump’s unlawful executive order to upend AI safety laws infringes on states’ legal right to enact common-sense protections.
80% of people want AI safety rules, but the Trump administration would rather reward tech CEOs than help working people. https://bit.ly/497EJy0

Whoa hold up, a healthcare system where the wealthy get better healthcare? I’m not following you Mark this is all strange to me.
Are you ok with rich people having access to the most expensive doctors and hospitals and you don't because the gov won't pay for it or they opted out of the Universal care program ?
Do you think it's right for doctors and nurses to only work for what they think is a living wage ?

Seth Magaziner is not a House Democratic name that gets a lot attention, but he absolutely shamed Kristi Noem today with anecdotes of individual service members and veterans harmed by Noem’s cruel deportation policies.

MAGAZINER: Will you thank Mr Brown for his service to our country?
NOEM: Thank you Mr Brown
M: Now what explanation can there be for locking up his wife for months when she has committed no crime other than writing a couple bad checks for $80

Maybe I get Trump’s attacks on Ilhan Omar. She came on a rare Einstein visa, had an anchor baby & has no public service record since 2006.
Wait. That’s Melania.
Ilhan Omar became a citizen in 2000 after 8 years of vetting and has decades of public service fighting for working people and democracy.

Trump on his wife's legislative initiative: "I just heard about that for the first time. The only thing I can tell you, I know one thing for sure, it's going to be great for children. I don't know what it is she's doing. She loves children. She's got a wonderful boy. And she's very proud of her boy"

Based on the rapid pace of Trump’s mental decline, which only exacerbates his malignant narcissism, repulsive behavior, megalomania, and habitual lying, 2026 is going to be a rough year.
