Eric Trump: "You saw what Jake Tapper did to Lara Trump. She said what everybody knew and everybody was saying and he came out and crucified her like a dog. They have tried to kill us at every road."

Associations are supposed to sue to defend their members. Where the hell have all of them been? The associations for higher ed, law, media, etc. did NOTHING. Their members should stop paying fees. What is the point?

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1h

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Oh my God this.

You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

Look.

Cool. Cool.

...AND...

This is so absolutely biting Zohran Mamdani's team and messaging, a recognition of what DOES WORK... but ultimately theft and shady because you and all of you STILL WON'T ACTUALLY support the man from whom you are stealing an effective comms & outreach strategy.

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 15h

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

Substack is not sustainable from a business perspective— and that's before you get to the fact that they are now pushing Nazi content onto people's phones.

You either move now or move in shame later. Those are the two options really.

The thing I truly cannot process here is that the newsletter is an email block of text and sometimes pictures and that should be the ABSOLUTE EASIEST THING ON THE PLANET to find different options for.

Again, let's be clear here: you are sending emails with words in them

ripoff degrees, like English

Otto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · 7h

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

some ppl who said this to me later asked me to help them write their cover letter, resume, edit their answers for applications.

Ppl who feel the same now are stealing the books and stories I wrote, which I used my knowledge of English lit to write, because cash.

Oh no we can't write email so hard!

Ian Dunt @iandunt.bsky.social · 7h

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

All desperate to use Chatgpt to write a book so they can say they wrote something but my English degree is the rip off.
