So, honest question, what do you do if you see a group of masked, unidentified men restraining someone and forcing them into a vehicle?
Seems like we should AT LEAST be calling the police, who should detain the masked men until they can verify their identities and authority.
We tell our students looking for jobs to have their elevator pitch at the ready. But we need to emphasize it needs to be about “why it matters.” That’s how you hook people. Many people frame their pitch abt what they’ve done bc “why it matters” is obvious to them, but it won’t be obvious to others
This is so interesting — the New York tenements have always fascinated me and I love the story about how they influenced building codes. @troytassier.bsky.social has told me about this before. Can’t wait to read this article.
Next law: if you see someone who has less money than you, you are required to kick them.
It’s a secret hiding in plain sight that although publishing (books, newspapers, whatever) might be a tough way to make money, it’s an unrivaled way to SPEND money for impact. Imagine spending a billion to set up an org that can run almost indefinitely, as long as you don’t demand big profits.
So first of all, this is BAD.
Second, is it still a “deportation” if it’s a US citizen?
Nobody wanting to listen to you is not the same as nobody letting you speak.
Good job, #RussellVought, #ElonMusk, #RFKJr and #JayBhattacharya: "Even using the lower value in calculations, the lost health from the NIH cuts translates into more than $8.2 trillion ($100 000 × 82 million years)." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Literally not a single congressional district, not a f-ing one, wants Medicaid cut. Not even close! Yet they did it anyway.
Some voters need to wake up and realize that they are not being represented by their representatives!
The GOP knew cutting Medicaid was unpopular. In Nov elections they promised not to cut it. They promised again in Jan. When that $800 billion cut showed up in Feb and Mar, one by one they promised it wasn’t Medicaid. They all vowed to never touch it. And, of course, they lied every time.
This is bleak af.
Joke is on them—I never stopped referring to it as simply”HBO.”
Waiting for the rest of the world to just mosey itself over to my way of thinking, too.
Impeach for each impeachable offense, or get out of the way.
I’d like to see the people who represent me actively represent me.
There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 9% of voters support cuts to the home care that Medicaid covers.
This sounds like a cartoon I watched as a kid.
Holy smokes
Apparently he COULD shoot somebody on 5th avenue if the only hope for justice or punishment would be that the republicans in congress would impeach him.
So many layers of corruption.
Sounds good. Have you ever had a *grilled pb&j*? (Done like grilled cheese, in the frying pan)
CBO analysis estimates 8.6 million people will lose health insurance from the republican budget plan released last night. $715 billion cut from Medicaid and the ACA.
It’s a death sentence for some.
If someone says there are Nazis around and you say “hey stop picking on me” you’re kind of telling on yourself.
This expands a similar purge recently at the Naval Academy library, in Maryland. Last month, civilian Navy officials, following orders originating from Mr. Hegseth, pulled from shelves books including one that critiqued “The Bell Curve,” a 1994 text that argues that Black men and women are genetically less intelligent than white people. But the academy kept “The Bell Curve” itself on its shelves.
You’re allowed to argue that black people and women are genetically inferior. But you’re NOT allowed to argue they are NOT inferior because that’s divisive. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...
Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water.

Trump and Noem opened an ICE detention center in Newark without permission and in clear violation of the city's ordinances. And when confronted by Mayor Baraska, they did what authoritarians do.
They arrested and disappeared him.
Students thinking about where to go used to see Columbia as a no-brainer. Great education, great reputation. I bet it’s not so easy now. Do you go to a school that might make people cringe when they see it on your resume?
Columbia, home of one of the country’s most prestigious journalism schools, suspends student journalists for doing journalism.
Wow
Can’t wait to hear her position on unprotected sex.
She can feel safe drinking it now and still feel agonizing abdominal distress later.
