1975! He’s 80!
You should not under any circumstances send your kid to Bard.
Ha! Unfortunately I am too anti-rape to hang out with Botstein’s donors.
Yeah, it’s pretty clear that their own comfort is more important to them than opposing rape.
You’d think paling around with the pedophile sex trafficker would be disqualifying, but apparently to these people it isn’t.
Another headline here is “Bard faculty declines to call for Leon Botstein’s resignation over Epstein ties.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Good riddance to Kristi Noem. Her replacement won’t be an improvement | Moira Donegan
Guardian US opinion: Good riddance to Kristi Noem. Her replacement won’t be an improvement.
I wrote about Kristi Noem’s exit from DHS. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
No, it’s a joke that mocks feminism and implies a link between feminism and imperialist wars of aggression that is not in evidence. Just because you can’t engage in a critique of humor doesn’t mean I have to assume that all of my readers are so literal-minded.
Just because it feels satisfying and righteous to blame women or assert vaguely that feminism is a narcissistic pastime for privileged bitches does not mean that it is in fact insightful or true to do so.
I think people really strained credulity when they pretended that they believed, say, George W Bush’s transparently disingenuous gender justice line about the invasion of Afghanistan. But has the Trump administration even proffered such a pretext? No? You just want to blame feminists for something?
Ah yes, we know who’s really influential in America. Everyone knows it’s feminists pulling the strings in the Trump administration.
This attempt to blame feminists for Trump’s war in Iran is really bizarre to me.
"There is no shortage of American will."
Narrator: However there was in fact a shortage of American munitions.
TBH it's kind of telling that these people are more mad at his language than at, you know, the camps.
I think it's to Jamelle's credit that he directs open contempt at powerful people who are hurting others; I find it really a relief that someone with this kind of platform and credibility will call, say, JD Vance the odious loser that he is.
What happened to keeping a journal
Take your cues from "Me Too went too far" because that train only goes one way.
If misogyny disqualified men from your respect, you could all spend a lot less time being like "Oh my god, I'm so shocked to discover that he's hateful and stupid," later.
Starting a reckless war of choice that destabilizes the region, disrupts global supply chains, and costs thousands of innocent lives so that everyone will see that you’re a man.
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026. The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at "Homeland." Serving 10 years in the United States House of Representatives, and 3 in the Senate, Markwayne has done a tremendous job representing the wonderful People of Oklahoma, where I won all 77 out of 77 Counties — in 2016, 2020, and 2024! A MAGA Warrior, and former undefeated professional MMA fighter, Markwayne truly gets along well with people, and knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Advance our America First Agenda. As the only Native American in the Senate, Markwayne is a fantastic advocate for our incredible Tribal Communities. Markwayne will work tirelessly to Keep our Border Secure, Stop Migrant Crime, Murderers, and other Criminals from illegally entering our Country, End the Scourge of Illegal Drugs and, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN. Markwayne will make a spectacular Secretary of Homeland Security. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP 865 ReTruths 2.64k Likes Mar 05, 2026, 1:41 PM
NEWS: President Trump says Sec. Kristi Noem is out at DHS.
Trump also says that Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin will be his next nominee for secretary of DHS, although Trump doesn't word it that way.
Finally, he says Noem will have a new federal role in a new initiative soon to be announced.

Libbing out.

Scratch a new athiest and a sex pest bleeds tbh
For a while there I was really an object of great fascination to the world's stupidest and most odious people.
