Chuck put a little more oomf behind his 'Roll Tide' than expected 🤣🐘

It’s good to be proven wrong. Didn’t think we’d make the Sweet 16 but at the same time, I’m not surprised.

The people who tried to gin up a national crackdown on free speech in service of the Charlie Kirk martyrdom cult openly cheer Mueller’s death.
Not randos, but the president.
Not about hypocrisy, about their sincere authoritarian aspirations.

Hello 911?
I'd like to report a murder.

Fascinating watching Joe become more and more terrified of this new world he is largely responsible for creating

Joe Rogan: " One of these high-level commanders says, 'don't be worried [about war with Iran] because Trump is anointed by Jesus Christ to bring back [his] return on Earth' … Those [guys] are just as scary as suicide bombers."

The entire planet is counting down to the single most satisfying obituary ever written.
Because he is, was, and forever will be an irredeemable piece of shit.

This could be interesting to follow this to see if the ordinance is found to be problematic. I have got no idea how "disruptive" he was.

BREAKING: We won 9-0 today at the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of our client Gabe Olivier who was arrested for sharing the Gospel in a public park in Brandon, Mississippi. Because of today’s victory, Gabe can now have his day in court and challenge the ordinance that led to his arrest. In today’s opinion, Justice Kagan wrote that Olivier is free, “to sue under §1983 to enjoin future prosecutions under the city ordinance, despite his prior conviction.” To hold otherwise would place Olivier in a “dilemma,” he would have to either “flout the law and risk another prosecution, or else forego speech he believes is constitutionally protected.” “This is not only a win for the right to share your faith in public, but also a win for every American’s right to have their day in court when their First Amendment rights are violated.” – Kelly Shackelford, President & CEO of First Liberty

Indiana's statehouse just signed two bills that cannot survive being read in the same sentence.
The first: public universities must now accept the Classic Learning Test for admissions. The CLT draws its questions from classical texts. Plato. Augustine. Cicero. Shakespeare. The argument is that these works represent the intellectual foundation of Western civilization and self-government.
The second: public colleges must eliminate programs deemed to produce "low earning" graduates. No carve-out for humanities. No protection for the programs where students actually read and wrestle with those classical authors the first bill just elevated.
Fort Wayne's Redeemer Classical School sent a representative to the statehouse to champion the CLT. Their students read Homer and Euclid. Their graduates will now test into universities that are legally required to accept their scores and simultaneously required to shut down the departments built around the tradition those scores are supposed to measure.
You cannot champion the classics as a signal of intellectual seriousness and then eliminate the classrooms that make the ideas real. That is not education reform. That is a credential without a curriculum.

Opinion: Lawmakers voted to put Plato and Augustine on a college entrance exam — then voted to eliminate programs where students study Plato and Augustine. indystar.com/story/opinion/…

Nate Oats says he’s talked with Aden Holloway every day since his arrest:
“If you disappear on a guy when he makes a mistake, I’m not so sure that’s a genuine relationship you built”

Understand why it was done - even though BU is private they probably feel if they allow a pride flag, they’d have to allow others - but this is a case study in how NOT to enforce a policy.
You don’t go into offices when faculty and staff aren’t there. That’s just bad form.

We just published a year's worth of polling on transgender rights and acceptance in America.
Voters across both parties express a consistent preference for equal treatment of trans people in public life and the workplace.
We also find broad support for protecting trans people from discrimination and for ensuring that adults have access to the health care they need.
That said, Americans hold conservative attitudes where certain policies related to gender identity and trans rights are concerned.
The findings reveal the need for a reset in trans advocacy, public education, and policy development. searchlightinstitute.org/research/the-p…

BREAKING NBC: Pete Hegseth says 'family after family' of service members killed urged the admin to "not stop until the job is done." But the father of one of those service members says he never said that. "I can't speak for the other families. When he spoke to me, that was not something we talked about." nbcnews.com/politics/donal…
