A friend who's a bit more conservative than I am asked how I felt after the 2024 election, and I said that Americans just voted for a Christofascist oligarchy. I could hear him rolling his eyes over the phone, but nothing since has caused me to reconsider that assessment.
If you vote Republican on November 2, you’re voting for the American oligarchy. trib.al/8CWpMWv

I teach Psyc 1010, where we note that the entire field began as a fusion of Ancient Greek philosophy & Arab physiology. The Arabs brought a scientific approach to questions of philosophy. I’m so tired of the ignorance )not to mention the xenophobia)
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Not for nothing, Trump clearly wrote this entire post. The random capitalization & phrasing has his tiny orange fingers all over them.
The president shouting "fake news" is bad enough, but the FCC commissioner threatening to punish broadcasters for promoting "fake news" like "the president is historically unpopular" is so much worse. Add this clown to the list of officials who need to be impeached and removed.

Trump’s decade-long witch hunt against a U.S. citizen AND duly-elected Congresswoman is disgusting. Mr. Trump, just admit you’re intimidated by anyone — particularly any woman of color — willing to stand up against you. We will continue to have @repilhan.bsky.social’s back! ✊🏽

Proof once again: Your voice matters. Your opposition matters. And no, Trump and Hegseth. You don’t get a prize for cancelling this disgusting livestream execution. The plan should have never even made the drafts.

Soooo much material for the Dems to put into a supercut! Make sure this goes alongside the statement that the Latinos he invited to the ballroom were the first people "of consequence" to walk on it!
Trump disses his supporters: "We have an extremely high IQ audience for a change. For a change. It's very nice."

Louisiana people, double check your voter registration status.
I emailed the registrar of voters asking why I was moved to inactive. I am attaching the email exchange to this. I feel like we definitely need an explanation from the secretary of state office for what led to this error. What were they doing trying to do to cause this?

Every few years they’ll lose comms on tv & it’s lovely. Why don’t I just turn off the sound??? What if REALLY like is no announcer live at a game. Just let us watch without trying to hype us up or playing a bell every goddamn 3rd down!
I maintain that American sports announcing is almost universally terrible. And the principal component of its terribleness is that they just talk too much. It’s seriously okay to just be quiet sometimes. Especially when the alternative is saying something completely inane.

Impossible to understand how anyone could look at Rufo's career and conclude he was someone engaged in a "forthright defense of meritocracy." Rufo's entire career is built on the idea of purging people who don't think or look like him from positions of power.
A GOP schism over the Texas candidate Bo French’s social-media post reveals the limits of the party’s defense of a color-blind meritocracy, @jonathanbchait.bsky.social argues.

Even if I liked a president, I would still feel it’s not their job or place to initiate shit like this. C’mon man!
Democratic lawmakers, veterans and concerned citizens gathered in Memorial Circle to protest the arch Trump wants to build there. Their hopes lie primarily in a lawsuit and next month's midterms. n.pr/472XAIX
I always wonder why Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders isn’t included in the list of great recent antiheroes. I thought he was fascinating & the show stellar!
Breaking Bad. Veep. Game of Thrones. Fleabag. Succession. Mad Men. Curb Your Enthusiasm. The Wire. The Sopranos. On popular TV shows, "We live in an age of antiheroes," writes @sonnybunch.bsky.social. And it's a reflection of, if not a contributor to, who we are. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-age-of...
It's interesting to me that the same team that applauded the legal decision about Texas' anti-affirmative action are now outraged by the perceived demographics that emerge when race can't be considered for admission. Makes the racism even more plain when your meritocracy claim falls apart
New: Chris Rufo & his co-host devoted a podcast to "The Indian Question," framing Desi people as a problem to be solved. Their "solution?" Mass expulsion. For those allowed to remain: an “assimilation hazing process” w/ instances of “vulgar, defamatory racism" talkingpointsmemo.com/news/chris-r...
