Pre-Professionalization at Its Own Expense.

At the RSO Fair, the lines for Maroon Capital, Eckhart Consulting, and Blue Chips stretched across the Main Quad. The performing arts and creative writing tables? Nearly empty.

Is @UChicago becoming a pipeline instead of a place to think? Alek Mohmand-Borkowski takes a look at what we trade away when résumé-building starts on day one.

NEW: UChicago’s “Students for Justice in Palestine” boldly declares that “elections cannot be fair on stolen land.” Members of this group have referred to the United States as stolen land before. Will the FBI place UChicago SJP on the no-fly list for election denialism?

Elissa Slotkin is playing the victim, yet she promised us to our faces last week to weaponize the justice system against the Trump admin in order to intimidate young conservatives out of public service.

She threatened college students. She needs to be investigated.

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

This is not the first time this president has tried to weaponize the justice system against me.

At his direction, earlier this year, the Department of Justice took me to a D.C. grand jury to have me criminally indicted for sedition. If President Trump had his way, I'd be in prison. Thankfully, an anonymous group of Americans, whom I will never meet, voted unanimously that all I was doing was exercising basic free speech.

So I know from experience, when it comes to weaponizing the government, the president says what he means, and he means what he says.

[The Chicago Thinker @ThinkerChicago]

@SenatorSlotkin Will you apologize for promising us to our faces last week to weaponize the justice system against the Trump admin in order to intimidate young conservatives out of public service?

You threatened college students. You need to be investigated.
