So not a single OU tenures professor is showing up to work tomorrow right? Also every person in that class should protest. Why do you have to follow the rules but she doesn’t?
I’d also be pissed if I was a Christian- you’re telling me you think this is the best intellectual argument they can make?

If this "religious discrimination" standard passes, all students can get As by simply writing "The Bible" as an answer for any question, on any topic. God as a cheat code.

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven.
The hypocrisy is stunning.

Habba: There were individuals that were saying that this should be a safe harbor, a safe haven. Why? America is America because we protect our own.

It is tragic that this person was put in a position where she lost her life for no reason other than to serve the vanity of a man determined to establish dominance over a city that hates him

Hegseth must resign and be held accountable for war crimes. @heinrich.senate.gov @lujan.senate.gov @repstansbury.bsky.social @repgabevasquez.bsky.social @fernandez.house.gov
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.
We executed multiple members of that crew.

It's a cult.
These parents are literally saying they’d sacrifice their own children, and everyone else's, at the altar of it.
They trust him that blindly.
That level of obedience isn’t patriotism.
It’s terrifying.
There’s no independent or critical thought left under those red hats.

A great local story about working in cooperation with nature; rather than using pesticides to kill pests some of our local cherry farmers built houses for Sparrowhawks who in turn guarded the orchards, keeping away other pest birds and protecting the crop. This is the way.

This is the world we should strive for: humans taking care of animals and stewarding nature and living in harmony with them. This should be the basis of our entire ethos. Anything else is ignorance and moral sickness based on greed and delusion.

Also note that 75% of commercial trucks on the road are powered by diesel fuel, which is at about $3.85/gallon currently and $4.19/gallon where I live. Expensive for all the America First plumbers, electricians, tradesmen, and militia members.
