My students are not customers and I am not a service provider.

Not to be lost in this story is the fact that undocumented immigrants apparently are paying taxes.

it will forever remain *wild* to me that in the US β€œwell you’re a teacher of course you want a Department of Education” is a gotcha while β€œwell you’re a CEO of course you want to abolish worker/consumer protections” is some wild conspiracy theoryβ€”our collective credulity about business is unmatched

Pope Francis’s Stunning Rebuke of JD Vance Exposes MAGA’s Dark Soul The vice president took a stab at theology to defend the administration’s rank cruelty. Then a higher authority weighed in.

Pope Francis rebuked his distortion of Catholic teaching. I'm still waiting for his Yale Law School professors to remind him of Marbury v. Madison.

They want to destroy the universities because they believe that it's the universities that are turning kids away from far-right reactionary cultural preferences. Thus they want the universities either indoctrinating young people into far-right beliefs, or they want them gone.

They’re absolutely going for it. Doesn’t mean they’re going to be successful, and in fact I think it’s like shooting the moon, but everyone needs to understand what they are attempting.

When the history of this conditional crisis is written, it should be reflected that the best training ground for flouting laws and reneging on obligations was being an American CEO. The voters got their wish. These guys are running the country like a business.

Drives me crazy. If you don’t want to fight say so. Stop trying to discourage others from doing the work you’re too jaded to do.

You try 50 times and win the 51st. That’s how it works. Progress happens when you find ways to make it matter. And sometimes it’s just your persistence.
