Ex-everything. Except I recently learned I'm autistic. Fun ride, that, living 7 decades in a cloud. I believe in the American experiment. Don't think it's progressive to want health care, food, and shelter for everyone. #ActuallyAutistic!

There is no doubt at this point that the Russian intelligence services have launched a huge influence operation focused on Charlie Kirk. The goal is to stimulate and inspire domestic violence inside the US, whether targeting Democrats, Groypers, trans people, gays, Blacks—it doesn't much matter.

Not Trans, not an Immigrant, not a leftist. Just another outraged white male right-winger who disagreed with Kirk's fascist talk.

This is horrible. Attacks on the humanities are another way to destroy our future. Now is when we need the humanities the most.
Arabic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Russian, Eastern European & Eurasian Studies, Religion, & more—decimating the humanities destroys our ability to understand the world, act in it, and envision a future. Blue states are complicit in this destruction of scholarship and teaching

Having spent a few years in academia I can make up a reason as to why you said that. But her you are making just a general attack on academia as if it has no virtues. It's almost like you are working for the other side. I am so grateful for academia, if frustrated too.
I spent 35 years in the academic world. Academic writing is one of the worst aspects of academia.
Maybe academic writing shouldn't be villainized or feared. Maybe education should be supported and promoted. Maybe- just maybe- people should be supported and helped to understand why certain language is more appropriate to be used and that it's okay to be learning and open to new ideas. Ffs.

Louisiana has more registered Democrats than Republicans, yet 88% of their House reps are Republicans. Only one is a democrat.

They've already gerrymandered these states.

Louisiana voters by party (as of 8/1/2025):
R: 35%
D: 36%
O: 29%

House Reps by party:
R: 5 (83%)
D: 1 (17%)
O: 0 (0%)

A blond model curating AA history for the nation in 2025. If that isn't a poke in the eye.
This former model, with no background in history, has been put in charge of curating what is "appropriate" at the National Museum of African American History.

The Americans with Disabilities Act — passed 35 years ago — was not a gift. It was the result of a powerful movement led by people who demanded to be seen, heard and treated with dignity.

The fight for equality is far from over. In fact, it is more urgent now than ever.

The intensity of the storm in Kerrville and its failure to move was similar to what Houston saw with Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Texans are experiencing larger storm events over shorter time periods.

From Houston to the Hill Country, we Texans keep doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result.

It's even worse than this. The whole approach to governance in Texas is about limiting what government can do. But a disaster like this has its own way of exposing the myth of "rugged individualism." Rising floodwaters don't care how tough you think you are.

When I was in 9th grade the coach told me my sweater made me look gay. I replied that was good, as I was trying to get his wife to leave me alone.

And that's the real reason why I failed gym.
