God, she really does terrify the bastards. Good for her.

“I’m going to keep my head held up high and stay strong and go to school,” Maddie told the New York Times last week. “And won’t let those bullies drag me down.”

Donald Trump praised border patrol agent Adrian Anzaldua, who he said “speaks perfect English,”

This is what a public cannery looks like. We aren’t talking about grandma in the kitchen doing a batch of pickles, we are talking about entire harvests being canned - primarily because that was the only safe food preservation method many people had access to at the time. As a reminder, the ‘heyday’ of canning was just…

You’ve pinpointed exactly what bothers me most about this. Teaching kids to judge people by their appearance, not their actions.

You see fit people are heroes and fat people are bad guys. I am sure Plump (Trump) is going to be some jabba looking sob(he is). Problem is that isnt a lesson to teach a kid.

My classes start up next week. After going through the syllabus and core course policies, I will—as I have for the last thirteen years or so—go over my university’s active shooter policy.

I’ve worked for three institutions in the course of my career. The policy at each was more or less the same: if the shooter’s not in…

Now we can buy some more jet fighters!

“...Don’t feel sorry for me. Don’t feel sorry for me.”

ETA: Scot Nakagawa has a great article about the introduction to this ides, in regards to anti black racism and proximity to whiteness. Everyone should check it out.

There’s about 5-6 reason in this article to have Trump removed from office, but no one does. He is literally too stupid to be president, but no one seems to care.

Indeed. The right should be losing their mind over this. But, but the email server *absolutely* pales in comparison to a private, unencrypted cell phone! My university won’t let me receive university email on an unencrypted cell phone, and I would place national security data a few steps above my students asking me…

The bombshell here is obviously that (if authentic) Kelly seems to be threatening to smear her reputation if it’s not a “friendly departure.”

I wonder if the transit workers knew that the public access to the station was closed? I’d just stop the train someplace safe - tell the sane passengers to just get off, lock it down, and walk off and let the transit authority find someone else to cart these assfuckers around.

If you’ve ever been in a situation where you had to talk someone out of taking their own life, potentially unsuccessfully, hearing a recording of someone going through the same thing just might bring some unpleasant memories.
