Parents, PLEASE let your kids figure some things out. Let them get locked out once. The problem will fix itself. You can do other things with your precious time.
My wife is in the University of Arkansas Facebook group for moms of incoming freshman. I convinced her to send me this screenshot, but there are so many more absolutely ridiculous questions like this. Some of these kids (and their moms) aren't going to make it. 😂
Federal government ownership of TikTok would mean the government must moderate user content on the platform consistent with the First Amendment. What the government is really purchasing is a 4chan competitor.
U.S. COMMERCE SECRETARY LUTNICK SAID HE BELIEVES THE TIKTOK SALE WILL GO THROUGH AND THAT THE U.S. WILL END UP PURCHASING THE PLATFORM.
OK, this is the second post like this in two days. First, @Princeton (and I write this with love) the messaging is great, keep it up until you believe it. Second, there was definitely a meeting where they all decided they needed to get their @TheFIREorg rating up!
“Keren and I are good friends. She’s Israeli, I’m Palestinian,” @PrincetonSPIA Dean Amaney Jamal said. “We’ve always supported peace. We disagree all the time, but always through the prism of respect.” Respectful dialogue: A bedrock @Princeton commitment princeton.edu/news/2025/07/2…

The White House is explicitly saying it can kick out of the press pool any publication that doesn’t bow and scrape to the president’s whims. This is nothing but a blanket confession that the administration is retaliating for news coverage that displeases the president — and it is…

In 2020, Mayor Muriel Bowser called on the Redskins to change their name if they wanted to relocate to DC. Yesterday, President Trump threatened to block the team's new DC stadium if they didn't rebrand back to the Redskins. Different jerseys, same playbook. Both fouls.
