Hi, fellow friend of Bruce! I share your outrage. (Also, I’ll be seeing Bruce at a conference in May.)

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."

What could go wrong? 🤦🏻‍♀️

As I often remind my students, basic human nature is remarkably static.

Chase them all under rocks.

This is pathetic. Maybe don’t mindlessly destroy what you don’t understand.

That’s much smarter. I usually end up regretting binge watching.

My husband and I enjoyed it too - so much so that we binged the whole thing last weekend (oops)

It’s fun to remember that none of this was remotely fucking necessary.

Fighting for women's rights today also includes fighting for the right to live in a peaceful and safe country.

Ukrainian women are among those fighting for this right.

Glory to Ukrainian Heroines!

It’s almost as if (as many of us have been screaming for years) RUSSIA IS NOT A U.S. ALLY and PUTIN wants the U.S. to fall like the USSR did.

Yeah, whatever that is, it’s nothing to do with Jesus.

💯 Golden Calfism?

On international women’s day I want to tell you about Tetiana. She’s a paramedic and she underwent rehabilitation after a combat injury while being 8 months pregnant

Women are extremely cool, I love women, happy women’s day!

WSJ: “.. U.S. military investigators think American forces likely were responsible for the strike, according to a U.S. official ..”

Blaming Jesus when you bomb an elementary school is one hell of a take (and yes, pun intended). Did you perhaps forget about free will? You own your own evil.

Yes, we definitely did.

Orwell wept.

When I was teaching adult ESL, we had several students from Iran. They all came to the US because they were a persecuted religious minority or regime critic. They HATE the regime. But the ones I'm still in touch with are devastated by this US terror campaign. Their people are being slaughtered.

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

Breaking: SC newspaper verifies portions of Trump accuser's story. Textbook journalism. Local journalism. Support your local news outlets. www.postandcourier.com/news/epstein...

This, plus the inevitable terrorist attacks, will make Americans, and whatever allies we have left, less safe all around the world.

This is sick. People are dying, Senator, including 100s of little children. Also, if you were really after the “bad guys” you wouldn’t be in bed with Putin, and we’d be helping Ukraine fight Russia’s illegal invasion; not illegal invading left and right ourselves. Shameless, compromised old man.

BRENNAN: The US is suspending some sanctions on Russia. But doesn't Russia financially benefit?

WRIGHT: Right now we're worried about Iran & US consumers

B: Russia was helping Iran

W: Well, there's been rumors. We don't know

B: Iranian drones have Russian parts in them. They're sharing intel

Wait some two fuckwit DOGE bros with no background in the humanities just fed a bunch of words like "equality" and "tribal" into ChatGPT, based on their fuckwit tech bro prejudices and MAGA fantasies, and used the results to cancel a whole boatload NEH grants-- did I get that right

When DOGE Unleashed ChatGPT on the Humanities

It was wrong and harmful - and quite possibly unlawful - to cut already approved NEH grants because Donald Trump hates "DEI."

But the way DOGE went about doing it was even dumber than you probably imagined.

They fed abstracts into ChatGPT and demanded an answer in fewer than 120 characters.

This should be a bright, blinking light catching everyone’s attention.
