  1. A student shot two of his peers Wednesday at a suburban Denver high school before shooting himself and later dying, authorities said. Wednesday in America.
  2. I’ll be interested in hearing from Kirk’s murderer. In the meantime, I don’t think he should be enlarged in death beyond what he was in life. He should be remembered as a husband, father, racist, misogynist, bigot, and grifter. And if I had my way, he’d be at home right now with his wife and children. Gun violence did not kill his ideas. It merely sanctified them among the people who are now whitewashing the really awful person he was.
  3. …he gives his people permission to be their worst selves
  4. How much better off would we be if we didn’t have a POTUS who foments violence and encourages hatred. He offered to pay the court costs for those who would violently attack his perceived enemies. Trump is hateful and dangerous because he give his people to be their very worst selves. And they are meeting the moment.
  5. The loss of control might not be the deal breaker some think it is. Texas had all the control in the world as the big dog in the Big12, but gave it up for more money.
  6. Susan Collins must find this attack very troubling.
  7. Si, correcto.. Dos librae. Gracias, Senora. Don’t tell me a bitch don’t know Spanish.
  8. The problem with ethnicity being an unavoidable criterion arises when one understands ethnicity in the context of a shared cultural background or descent. Such cannot be easily discerned by skin, social location or even accent. I’m a black man of light complexion with two black parents with nappy hair. Fiesta employees speak to me in Spanish every time I shop in the store without fail, because, they make incorrect assumptions about my ethnicity. Because it’s so easy to do, the protections should be stronger.
  9. This is so damned depressing.
  10. How is it very clear, pep secretary?
  11. Is Pete Hegseth the most prodigious, shameless ass kisser in the history of American politics?
  12. Not all. There’s a requirement to have completed the 7th grade. Bunches auto eliminated.
  13. That too. Damn!
  14. I’m still finding it hard to come to grips with the fact that this is happening in America.
  15. During the campaign, Trump promised “black population jobs.” True to form, the opposite of what he promises, happens. Black unemployment is now 7.5%.
  16. The sole finalist for the Tech’s chancellor position is a UT grad and virulent right wing ideologue. He’s responsible for all of the anti CRT and DEI legislation and the law that limits free speech on Texas campuses: Building off his success banning CRT in Texas schools, Brandon Creighton championed a 21st-century curriculum for Texas to increase rigor and keep political agendas out of the classroom. In Higher Education, Creighton passed the strongest ban on DEI in public universities in the nation and sweeping reforms to rein in tenure. The Campus Protection Act was Introduced by state Sen. Brandon Creighton and signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott in June, SB 2972 amends Section 51.9315 of the Texas Education Code to clarify where and how students can demonstrate on college campuses.
  17. He’s a toxic admixture of arrogance and ignorance. Oklahoma’s 50th ranked school system is on display everyday in the US Senate.
  18. Caught a second of Trump’s presser from the White House. When did plaster it with all of that tacky gold lame and paint? Damn!
  19. Good Lord. Just what higher Ed in Texas needs. A 1950s ideologue. Building off his success banning CRT in Texas schools, Creighton championed a 21st-century curriculum for Texas to increase rigor and keep political agendas out of the classroom. In Higher Education, Creighton passed the strongest ban on DEI in public universities in the nation and sweeping reforms to rein in tenure. He also serves as a key member of the Senate Finance Committee and as a member of numerous committees, including Business and Commerce, and Jurisprudence.
  20. I saw the chief medical biscuit on TV comparing vaccines to slavery. What’s happened to us?
  21. Trump really has made racism great again: Trickle-down racism: Trump's effect on whites’ racist dehumanizing attitudes Highlights • Racially dehumanizing attitudes can be influenced by political elites. • Trump supporters expressed more racially dehumanizing beliefs toward Black people after the 2016 presidential election. • Trump opponents expressed less racially dehumanizing beliefs about Black people after the 2016 presidential election. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-approval-rating-polls-cover-100112160.html
  22. Jeffries is not a bad person but I have reluctantly come to the realization that he is not the leader for this moment and is all wrong for the 2020’s.
  23. She sure has been in or near a lot of situations where rape has been alleged.
  24. Will Tech’s new chancellor be a UH grad too, or will it be that christo fascist from Midland?
  25. Boy, that’s a pretty cynical take.
