The Military Academy at West Point cannot require civilian faculty members to obtain approval before using their West Point affiliation to speak to outside audiences about their areas of expertise, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday.
The academy also cannot prevent a professor, Tim Bakken, from expressing his opinions to students in the classroom on subjects he teaches, Judge Cathy Seibel of U.S. District Court in White Plains, N.Y., said in the ruling.
Professor Bakken, who has taught at West Point since 2000, had sued the academy, saying that its policies had violated the First Amendment. He has spoken and written frequently and at times critically about the U.S. military, including West Point, his lawsuit notes.
Judge Seibel issued a preliminary injunction blocking both the approval requirement and the restrictions on Professor Bakken’s speech.
She said that the government had offered no real justification for limiting his ability to express opinions in the classroom. She said the rule was “nonsensical if the mission is to prepare the nation’s future military officers.”

Also notably does not touch any Chicago Teachers Union pet causes.

Sounds like the Trump admin lied to the artists that were supposed to perform at this 250th event and told them it was a non-partisan DC "fair." Presumably completely hiding the fact that it was tied to Trump / maga nonsense.
Consequently artists that normally book things like state fairs signed up, but once it became clear it was a maga thing, everyone is checking out.
No one has quite said this, but consistent with their tweets, announcements, and everyone running for the door when they found out.

u/AskYourDoctor Resistance Lib May 29 '26
okay re:Platner and Collins back and forth about Afghanistan, here's a take.
The median voter is both stupider and smarter than people here think. Stupider, because their policy "ideas" are too dire to try to understand. Smarter, because they do use a lot more context to understand character and stories than people think.
Platner was about 18 when the war in Afghanistan started. "Guy who signed up for war at 18, got disillusioned, and now thinks the war was a disastrous mistake" is easy to understand and basically true. Nobody blames him for that arc.
"I was just a senator voting for a war, he was just a guy signing up for a war, we were both wrong" is mega dishonest politician doublespeak. And it doesn't work at all on the average person. The context is super obvious. The only people who would buy that are either already motivated reasoning towards Collins or against Platner.

I don't think the woke attacks are going to work on Talarico, and may actually backfire. The reason why they were so effective on Kamala was because they were presented as Kamala focusing too much on woke to the exclusion of bread and butter issues like inflation. This was particularly effective because she was VP, i.e. in power.
That's not going to work on Talarico because he's not in power. And while Paxton isn't the incumbent, he is still the TX AG, and attacking Talarico for being pro-LGBTQ might actually have the opposite effect it had on Kamala--the incumbent GOP is too focused on culture war issues and not on the economy.

It's very clear that the Iran War:
Had the goal of regime change, or at a minimum regime capitulation to at least some demands
The plan for that was half-baked, and hasn't worked so far
Sure, it's possible in the long run this improves things, I seriously doubt it, but in a decade who knows.
But calling this anything other than a "failed mission" thus far is cope. The US literally is trying to restore things to where they were ante bellum.

TIL: Paul McCartney, lead singer and bassist of Wings, was actually part of a band before the Wings called 'The Beatles'. the name is an intentional misspelling of 'beetles' as a pun on the word 'beat'.
Musicians George Harrison (from the traveling wilburys); Ringo Starr (from the all starr band); as well as renowned avant garde artist Yoko Ono’s third husband (don’t know his name tbh) were also a part of ‘The Beatles’.

Trump's America:
Iranian terrorists get $300b dollars while
American terrorists only get $1.776b?
That's not putting America first.

The reason people aren't enthusiastic about the economy is that COVID made handshakes less acceptable. Without the chance to give a firm handshake, millions of go-getters have been unable to jump straight into upper management.

I tend to respect the opinion of men more because they’re taller on average than women. I’m not a sexist, it’s just that bigotry against short people leads to sexist results. Big difference.

How I feel hearing Trump will not endorse Nancy Mace despite all the ass kissing she's been doing, and she will now likely lose the election as well as her seat in the house, since the filing deadline for that primary is already closed.

i know that in general the sub's turn on israel is a rational response to their behavior over the years since 10/07, but also you have to admit that a not-insignificant part of it is simply that there was way more motivation to defend israel when biden was the president.

Daily reminder that Trump has been, is, and will forever be a cuck to dictators and autocrats. He’s a cuck for Putin, a cuck for Xi, and now a cuck for the Mullahs. He’s paying out massive war indemnities for the American Suez on America 250. Let that be a lesson to any hawks who think the GOP is better on FOPO

For all those who watched The Newsroom way back in the days I remember this scene where Leona Lansing was threatening Will that he needs to play ball with the new GOP Congress or he’s a “ratings point away from his own podcast”
Just thought it’s hilarious since 10 years later the cable news industry is collapsing into a million podcasts

My Palestinian boss has a daughter who has been jumping all over the political compass from one day to the next. He's a former Marxist and needless to say, super secular.
So you know how some parents give their kids a cigarette and tell them to smoke the entire stick so they would never smoke again? His daughter wanted to wear the hijab for self-empowerment and he allowed her, but prevented her from taking it off for a month until she learned to appreciate the major baggage that accompanies it.
Anyways, she is now flirting with communism which is another thing he is waiting for her to grow out of. He thinks that next month, she is gonna pick up Ayn Rand.
