All 5 are true: 1) DOGE has scrapped many stupid projects. 2) DOGE has axed many useful academic projects. 3) Universities lost their way, inviting the ongoing massive backlash. 4) The backlash is generally popular. 5) Universities have done little to regain the public’s trust.

What would some good unifying demands be for a hostile takeover of the Democratic party by centrists/moderates? I have some ideas....

The narrative that President Zelensky hasn't held elections in the middle of a war and is therefore a "dictator" is completely wrong.

Countries at war for their survival do this as standard practice. Britain didn't have general elections during WW2 and then had one as soon as it was over.

That is exactly what will happen in Ukraine.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

Yeah. I've seen a lot of the "no disagreement allowed" posture lately. You can view politics as a team game, but lacking a feedback loop is how Dems fell into the trap of being unable to adjust. Serious risk of the same thing happening on the right.

What we need are men who are grimly determined to do what is difficult but necessary, and only when it is necessary. Not hyenas who derive pleasure from cruelty.

If anyone reading this has influence on this admin: fire them.

[Sarah Haider 👾 @SarahTheHaider]

Fire the person who posted this, and their boss.

@WhiteHouse Are you fucking kidding me? Keep this stupid shit up and the sentiment is going to shift very rapidly.

I don’t know how you save a civil rights movement where the people who need the civil rights have been replaced by people that just want attention.

What’s happening in America is roughly equivalent to the yearbook committee and theater kid types getting rocked by a football team and chess club alliance.

@dvassallo Don’t shit your pants, try to sell it to consumers as fashion and then be surprised when someone calls out your skid marks. Honesty is the best policy, especially when it comes to shit stains.

@SenWarren @Apple The world is burning while our own problems pile up, and you’re over here trying to score populist points by taking on text messages?!?You’re doing the work of the CCP and EU by needlessly handicapping American companies over trivial matters beyond your limited comprehension.

[Conor Friedersdorf @conor64]

How many blood types exist?

Zero. Many life forms have no blood.

Does *Scientific American* think that makes sense? What is going on here?

[Kurt Schlichter @KurtSchlichter]

I was against canceling students, but students decided canceling was a thing so now I feel that it needs to be inserted in their collective rectum, and they need to suffer.

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

In order to be able to think, you have to risk being offensive.

[PoIiMath @politicalmath]

On "cancel culture":

Yesterday, they crushed @KyleKashuv's Harvard career b/c some shit leaked private messages from when he was 15

Today, they are begging for mercy b/c Harvard law students publicly celebrated the largest Jewish genocide since the Nazis

Tomorrow, they will cheer the firing of a mildly right-of-center student or professor for suggesting that trans ideology is a social contagion (which it obviously is)

Every "oh no, this is cancel culture" appeal is not honest. All they want is you to pause long enough that they can get away with it.

They will not reciprocate. They will never give you quarter or kindness. They will beg on their knees for mercy and the very second you grant it, they will stick a knife in your child and laugh at the stupidity of the grace you showed them.
