I am the Executive Director of FLIP National, a nonprofit organization that does advocacy work on behalf of first-generation and/or low-income (FGLI) college students at colleges and universities across the country. (FLIP National will be on Bluesky soon.)
FLIP National does have an epic co-sign:

Remember when y’all were mad at Lloyd Austin for getting treated for cancer and not telling his boss about it until after the fact?
I bet you wish we still had those kinds of problems with our Secretary of Defense instead of what we have now, huh?

I’ll ask this again:
When did we reach a point where Donald Trump is the arbiter of who and what is or isn’t American?
If he wants to have so much sway over who is what nationality, he can go buy Epstein Island and he & his MAGAts can go start their own fucking country instead of wrecking ours.

Ok, I'm now prepared to declare this:
Zohran Mamdani and the Clipse album are the only good things to come out of 2025.
The only thing that could change this is if J. Cole drops The Fall Off before the end of the year, but I almost hope he doesn't because 2025 doesn't deserve a J. Cole album.

Friendly reminder: Notre Dame lost to Texas A&M because of a missed extra point. That was a fantastic game that deserved to go to overtime.
So miss me with the notion that Notre Dame hasn't played anyone.

I will be EXTREMELY fascinated to see how this pans out and whether or not it works.
In theory, this seems like the solution to affordable housing everywhere. I’ll be especially interested to see how the real estate lobby tries to organize against this approach.

This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

I have been in denial and sad about the Mets since the season ended the way it did.
I’m sad about the Brandon Nimmo trade, but I understand it from a baseball standpoint.
I can’t get overly excited about the Devin Williams signing unless the Mets also re-sign Edwin Diaz.

So USA Network literally has a show that’s just a brolick wrestler eating food in different cities?
And they think now is the time to air a show like that when people can’t afford food or groceries?
Man, they just put anything on TV these days.

Go take one look at Debra Lea and you’ll understand the REAL reason Donald Trump is posting about her.
This is how people get Cabinet appointments in the Trump admin.

Every time you see Kristi Noem doing some stupid shit, just think to yourself whether or not you would’ve seen Janet Napolitano or Jeh Johnson doing any of this.
Can’t wait until that bitch goes to jail.

If Lane Kiffin leaves for LSU, and if I was being recruited by Lane Kiffin, I would NEVER go play for him.
What does it say about your commitment to your players if you can build a juggernaut only to leave for a “better job”?
It screams “I only care about myself”.
He needs to stay where he is.

He is coaching an 11-win team who is headed to the #CFBPlayoff THIS YEAR. They can win a championship THIS YEAR.

Tried and true: Ryan Day thinks his team is tougher than they are, so he implements exactly the wrong game plan against Michigan despite having the more talented players on the perimeter.
And y’all wonder why he’s lost to Michigan 4 times in a row.

Donald Trump calls reporters names like “stupid” and “piggy” while simultaneously being too stupid to realize that when he screeches about throwing Democrats in jail for reminding service members they can refuse to obey illegal orders, he’s conceding that he’s giving service members illegal orders.

Feels like that missed field goal at the end of the first half really took the wind out of Memphis’s sails.
From that point, Navy has absolutely dominated Memphis. Y’all continue to disrespect Blake Horvath for some reason.

Looks like Julie Menin is poised to replace Andrew Cuomo as public enemy #1 in NYC politics.
If she won the race for council speaker by explicitly pledging to block Zohran Mamdani’s agenda, then the movement that toppled Cuomo needs to turns its attention to her.

Your annual reminder that the narrative the United States tells about the origin of Thanksgiving is and always has been bullshit, and that for indigenous people, Thanksgiving is a national day of mourning and celebrating on this day is like celebrating the deaths of veterans on Memorial Day.
African people and Indigenous people were enslaved, trafficked, and forced into servitude by the colonists. That’s a key truth the Thanksgiving story erases.
The Thanksgiving Myth Hides the US’s Inability to Reckon With Its Own History
“I’m not against giving thanks. I’m against celebrating a falsehood,” says Choctaw historian A. S. Dillingham.

When UCLA was having a brief turnaround, everyone fell all over themselves to credit Jerry Neuheisel, who’s not the interim coach.
But now that they’re struggling again, NOW we can acknowledge the ACTUAL interim coach, Tim Skipper.
