Students successful in TPUSA (via recruitment and harassing people) are in line for cushy positions in the right-wing think tank industry or Republican politics upon graduation. That is what the most outspoken ones work for, and ruining lives is a plus.
The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.”
Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.
Brett Kavanaugh assures me this is the sort of minor inconvenience that shouldn't disturb anyone.

The two middle aged joggers on the side street are TERRIFYING.
“Oregon is our home. Keep troops off our streets.”
I was a completely normal graduate student until my PhD advisor made me write in LaTeX. Now I habitually add '\' every time I type out a percentage.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
The President made the biggest cut to food assistance in our nation’s history.
Families will go hungry so Trump’s billionaire friends can get richer.
They can hide the numbers. They can bury the reports. But they cannot hide this moral tragedy from the eyes of God.
We in the West don't see them, but REAL PEOPLE in drought and conflict zones have been killed by Musk. It's not over. DOGE is a death machine, still rolling.
