Instead of giving his full attention to the war against Iran, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth decided to take some time out to start a new war against the universities of America:

Hegseth acted to harm American colleges and the careers of the military officers who attended them.

One more organization is afraid of Donald Trump:
"After nearly 90 years, the Gallup Organization will no longer track presidential approval ratings, which served as a steady way to measure Americans’ views of their elected leaders":
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/us/politics/gallup-poll-presidential-approval-ratings-trump.html
"Gallup’s decision comes as Pres. Trump has escalated his threats against the press, and sued at least one respected pollster, J. Ann Selzer."

"Columbia University, which faced criticism for not striking a more defiant stand against efforts by the Trump administration to set its agenda, showed signs of adopting a tougher tone.

Diese billigen, #TS011F #ZigBee-Schuko-Dosen fühlen sich weit weniger professionell und sicher an, seitdem ich versehentlich eine öffnete und gesehen habe dass Erde nur per Pogo-Pin verbunden ist.

Aber mal den Widerstand gemessen und er scheint niedrig genug? Also es funktioniert? Sowas wie? Taster ist auch eine "interessante" Konstruktion - aber zumindest nicht sicherheitsrelevant.

The people who most often presume to lecture me about racism are those who have absolutely no idea what it REALLY means to be a target and victim of it: White people.

To be Black in America is a daily exercise in remaining sane, patient, kind, and in repressing occasional temptations to go “Nat Turner” on ignorant, hateful people.

Hey, Trump!

I think the government should start a university educate your MAGA base on everything from the Bible’s fiction… to science’s answers… to history’s lessons… to the Constitution’s contents. It’ll be a LIBERAL arts school, and the Deplorable demographic will know that it’s especially for them, because I’m naming it “FUCK U.”

@kumicota
The above cartoon really does say almost everything that needs to be said about the #identityLeft.

In our experience, small 'L' #liberals care more about #identity than the viability of life on this planet. Its a real shame.

In so doing, this small 'L' liberals are easily coopted by the #enterStageLeft, corporate giants, who can paint lipstick on a pig if you give them a chance.
