Seeing adults who never learned of their ADHD, neurodivergence issues because their parents didn't see a problem, esp. because the parents also were afflicted. Had a teacher that was furious that I was pulled for speech therapy at 13. She was from Boston...I wasn't, she didn't hear the problem.

I mean jesus christ, it was not that long ago that "papers please" was damn near universally accepted as a 2-word shorthand for the kind of oppressive society that we beat our chests over being better than
Email just went out on my campus that the Immigration Goons ("federal immigration agents") will be in town (Raleigh).
Inter alia, it says,"International students, faculty and staff should carry evidence of their immigration status with them at all times."
The fuck kind of country are we living in?

I recognize litigating imposes serious costs, but Trump has to be stood up to, because his claims are *always* meritless.

Trump has used "Piggy" as an insult to women for a long time. It's what he called 19 yo Miss USA winner in the 90's when he accused her of gaining weight.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Trump will not just be four years of bad management. The culture of these organizations will be fucked for a long time. The pressure to retaliate and clean house will be strong, and no-one wants to work in a war zone.

I kind of wonder whether the RFK endorsement wasn’t greater than the sum of its parts. That is, it didn’t just bring on people who were already RFK fans, but also helped bolster a (completely false) image of a bipartisan anti-establishment campaign.
Had a pretty liberal English teacher colleague become a Trump supporter after RFK Jr. endorsed. I think that was a bigger deal than many suspected at the time.

this should really be illegal!
Child marriage is heinous, but one thing I never see brought up in those discussions is that if you are under 18, you cannot file for divorce. If you are under 18 and married to an adult, they are your legal guardian and make decisions for you. That is not a partnership.
