Rapidly moving back to a world where every essay has to be written longhand and every exam has to be viva voce. This is not in any way going to democratise access to higher education.

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

It’s Long Covid Awareness Day (which I think should be the Ides of March, for reasons that will become clear.)

Some of you have heard this before. But I wanted to share my Long Covid story, because I think you should hear it.

On my birthday in November 2022, I woke up with Covid.

I’m sorry, the suffering is infinite and things are genuinely fucking dire, but it is truly hilarious that the nazis ran into the middle east while screaming β€œlogistics and diplomacy are fake and gay” and now they’re trying to ask everyone else to fix the strait of hormuz because tfw no more THAADs

UPDATE: Judge Nelson has ordered the release of a man "shockingly" described in a public post by DHS as "the worst of the worst" based on criminal charges that hadn't yet been filed and were later dropped.

That post may complicate his deportation too.

ICE Tried To Turn This Minneapolis Teacher Into An Informant Brandon Siguenza was detained for doing legal-observer work. ICE's real interest was in generating snitches. PLUS: Mojtaba Khamanei isn't surrendering

"He was vaguely saying things like, 'Really, I can help you out. I can do things for you. ...If you could, you know, give me the names of protest organizers, maybe I can help you out.'" Inside an ICE effort to generate snitches.

They asked him if he had family in Mexico they could help emigrate to the US (he doesn't, because he's not Mexican). They offered him money, and he refused that, too. As they released him, they shot him.

Do you feel safe knowing the head of countering violent extremism in America is 23-year-old Stephen Miller acolyte, Thomas Fugate, who has now law enforcement or security experience?

BREAKING:

US minesweepers successfully removed mines in the Strait Of Hormuz that were never there after an oil tanker was escorted by a naval vessel that doesn't exist in an operation to obliterate a nuclear program that's already been obliterated in an escalating war that will be over shortly.

Best Twitter riposte of the day. Violent crimes on NYC subways have hit the lowest rate we've seen since 1962. But Sean Duffy understands that his job is to spread fear based on lies.

Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?

Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.

Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?

Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.

Utah authorities arrested a man because he had dried pinto beans. They thought it was drugs. By the time they realized it was beans, they dropped charges, but it was too late: ICE had found and detained him.

Thread.

This is why we should make minimal competence a requirement in a candidate for President. I don’t care what bad vibes someone got from Kamala Harris; neither she nor any other minimally competent person would have done this.

Hawley introduces bill to remove FDA approval for Mifepristone

THE HILL SENATE Hawley introduces bill to remove FDA approval for Mifepristone BY ALEXANDER BOLTON - 03/11/26 5:29 PM ET

THE HILL
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Wednesday unveiled legislation to remove Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the use of mifepristone to end pregnancies, a bill that has quickly gained the support of major anti-abortion groups.
The legislation is an ambitious undertaking given the drug's widespread use in the United States, where an estimated 7.5 million women have used it to terminate pregnancies since the FDA approved its use in 2000. It accounted for 63 percent of all abortions in the U.S. in 2023.
But mifepristone, which when combined with the drug misoprostol can end pregnancies at up to 70 days of gestation, has become a major target of the anti-abortion movement. President Trump has sought to satisfy those anti-abortion voices by launching an FDA review of the drug, which has not been completed.
Hawley says the ability of doctors to prescribe the drug across state lines has led to rampant abuse and alleges that incidences of adverse health effects are far more common than the drug's maker, Danco Laboratories, has acknowledged.

While we’re worried about the war, the Epstein files, drone attacks in CA…
Josh Hawley and Republicans are taking this moment to push legislation to strip FDA approval for Mifepristone

The assaults on Americans are coming from inside the house.
