@Huntn00 @realTuckFrumper Democrats just ousted Windsor Heights, Iowa County Auditor David Whipple (R), an election denier spreading conspiracy theories, in charge of elections. They gathered enough signatures to hold a special election and ran Kimberly Sheets (D) who won by a two-to-one margin in a county trending red. More votes saved.

@garyackerman Not sure what you are saying.
Fellow professors, if you're teaching an introductory course in graduate school, set aside some class time early in the semester for students to discuss their transition to your program. You'll find that they're struggling far more than you probably realized. You won't be able to solve all their problems, but opening space for them to voice their issues is more powerful than you can imagine.
@realTuckFrumper Wonderful!! 😻

@knordstrom @negativenull @Spicewalla it’s discouraging to acknowledge that Budweiser beer has such a large following, actually embarrassing regarding US cultural tastes. About 40 years ago in the wake of craft beers, I started describing it as horse piss. 🤨

Black leaders nail #RonDeSantis' #racist ass to the wall for creating the climate of bigotry and hatred that made the Jacksonville mass shooting inevitable, while the spox of his rapidly tanking campaign claims the shooting has been "politicized." https://apnews.com/article/jacksonville-desantis-racist-republican-shooting-haley-scott-9bba89577ae8d0571e1d19b6a947fef5?utm_source=newsshowcase&utm_medium=gnews&utm_campaign=CDAqDwgAKgcICjCE7s4BMOH0KDCvi8AC&utm_content=rundown
Notes to the folks who are scared that Trump's trial(s) will lead to violence by the white supremacists:
The white supremacists want you to be scared, and the white supremacists have already been violent on Trump's behalf.
Fuck the white supremacists. Fuck being scared.
