If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

You can really understand a lot of the outrage and contempt from the press at Democrats seriously trying to contest the GOP in redistricting and legislative brinkmanship as the equivalent of those 19th century anti-suffragist cartoons attacking women for pretending to be men.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

to steal a phrase from the old leftie Michael Harrington, the task for the global left(-liberal) movement is to essentially be long-distance runner, capable of holding onto the torch of liberty for long enough
even if zoomers *as a whole* come back to left-liberalism the ones that remain in the GOP right now aren't going to be Romneyites, they're going to be socialized into natcon stuff, or worse
yeah i've pointed this out before but like, the vast majority of zoomers on the right are being socialized into Trumpism
there is no "outside" here, and if e.g. they lose 2026 and 2028, they are likely to think the national conservative revolution was stabbed in the back

I will never forget people complaining to me about it before it was even a "movement", when it was literally just every women I knew posting on Facebook about their experiences.
Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.
