Liberal identity politics is one of the 3 things holding the Democratic Party back and we cannot let these idiots let us. Do not back Hakeem !!
get in loser we’re picking politicians based on their policies and moral beliefs rather than their race or culture

This is so mf goated. Troy Jackson you’re the people’s pookie
Nothing tells the populist story of this election quite like Troy Jackson showing up in Washington wearing an $89.99 suit off the rack from Target.

“Nearly all your bills” is uh, kinda the dealbreaker there buddy.
Replying to @follynomics
It would honestly be hard to think of a more privileged position in society than a graduate TA. You can pay nearly all your bills while working 2 hours a week and delivering a lecture (very fun, would do for free), all the while getting a world class education instead of working

In every single paper with a PI as last-name author; the postdocs and grad students did 100% of the manual labor in completing the research. It’s that simple. You can prove by contradiction: suppose you have no grad students or postdocs, will 80% of stem labs publish? No.
Ok, last thing, and I know it's unpopular, but on "grad students make this place run" and are "workers": when you become a professor, you will learn this is completely untrue. Love our students, but they are *students* and incredibly costly ones. 1/3

As much as I need to be seen for who I am and valued, there is also something special about being physically desired and shouldn’t be taboo

“Financially viable for universities” Instead of thinking whether someone not from upper middle class can afford it. That’s how you know the rot is deep
"If you don't want a better life for those who came after you, you are frankly an evil person." I loved grad school, and I want it to be financially viable for universities to continue to provide that experience. Forcing them to pay 60k+ stipends does the opposite.

SNL Weekend Update on El-Sayed and Schumer Colin Jost: If I had just gone through the campaign he did, I don't think my first move would be, "get rid of the Jewish guy"

Or maybe have Harvard pay their students. Fucking joke
Any Harvard graduate student who participated in this planned class disruption should be disciplined to the fullest extent possible under Harvard’s policies. The professor tried to move the class and couldn’t. His students were disrupted while trying to complete an in-class exam. Completely unacceptable.
