I keep coming back to this from Tressie. Austerity as a tool to create corporate universities.

Jeff Greene@jeffgreene.bsky.social

“Austerity creates corporate universities,” @tressiemcphd.bsky.social said. “Corporate universities are not healthy educational organizations, and unhealthy educational organizations cannot inculcate or defend academic freedom.” Whew. That’s it right there. dailytarheel.com/484871/unive...

One of reasons finance bros like Bessent hate Warren is misogyny of course but Also the fact that she knows their language and how the sausage is made in the financial world and routinely humiliates them publicly

A letter from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, and a member of the Senate Finance Committee:

Momentan läuft eine Kampagne gegen Die Linke, eine Kampagne gegen Rot-Grün-Rot in Berlin. Die Wahrheit: Der Weltuntergang steht nicht bevor, weder in Berlin noch allgemein. Also: Bleibt bei den Fakten! Bleibt fair! Bleibt wachsam!

A federal judge ruled that the Trump admin violated her order prohibiting overcrowding at ICE's Baltimore holding room — the very facility I've been sounding the alarm on after we saw this terrible footage last year. The judge is right to threaten contempt — the abuses must end.

Like many of you, I have seen this video, and I'm demanding answers. My team has reached out to ICE repeatedly and have yet to get clear answers. [1/2]

ICE IS ABOUT TO MAKE YOUR GROCERY BILL EVEN WORSE Cattle groups in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas say ICE raids are creating a “massive chilling effect” on legal, documented workers, disrupting meatpacking and delaying the processing of thousands of cattle. They’re reporting millions in losses.

I love my folks at Burger King. They do so much more to improve my quality of life (and make a mean Impossible Whopper!) than that racist piece of shit, Elon Musk.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Mayor Scott deserves his flowers just as much as Mamdani. He's doing a lot with less and cares heavily for the city but doesn't get the recognition.

"Tax revenue" is the new PR line for data centers; it's true in a handful of counties nationwide but nowhere else. 3 of 95 counties in Virginia work this way, the rest got screwed by a $2 billion revenue shortfall. goodjobsfirst.org/data-center-...

Pete Hegseth hates women. Period. Just a horrible person. Good luck to this young woman who is trying new things and making new friends. You go, girl!

Pete Hegseth, the United States Secretary of Defense, is rage-posting about Canadian teenagers in a cadet program. Unserious, unhinged, and embarrassing.

Red State Universities: we believe in indoctrination and job training Students: we hate that is there another option? Blue State Universities: we promise to have no values except job training. It ain’t enough. My latest. Gift link.

startribune.comPerry: Republicans fought ‘indoctrination.’ Now they’re telling students what to study.The conservative attack on higher education in states like Iowa is hard to watch. But it also provides an opportunity for blue states like Minnesota.

Struggling to work out why Jenrick would single out these three Commonwealth countries rather than, say, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, whose citizens have exactly the same rights. It’s a head-scratcher.

Conventional wisdom ...

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

The early conventional wisdom among many financial analysts over a year ago during tariff madness was that Bessent was the voice of reason in the room who got some reversed. The reality is that he might be the single most dangerous person in the Trump admin to our economy.
