I just had virtually the same conversation with my nephew (humanities edition) - he’s graduating college in May and had wanted to go into academia but says it’s totally infeasible with so many departments not taking grad students and funding drying up.

We’re losing an entire generation of scholars.

Kinda in love with these tech logos redesigned with a 1980s look by Kostya Petrenko (@kxdgraphics on Instagram). He's got a bunch more, too:

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Judge blocks ICE warehouse construction in Md. Project Salt Box's co-founder Michael Wriston discusses the victory for opponents of ICE's vision to build Amazon "Prime, but with human beings."

I strongly recommend listening to this account of how citizens of Maryland have successfully battled a planned concentration camp.

Shockingly the plans were grotesquely inadequate and would have screwed locals as well as the inmates.

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

I firmly believe that this is the job of the news. To not only report what’s “new” or how, for example, repeat how Trump softens his language on immigration during the Midterms, but to remind people how reckless and abusive ICE was just months prior.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

This story is 100% FAKE NEWS.
CNN decided to run this garbage based on three anonymous "sources familiar with discussions."
This is despite the fact that myself, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of State, and multiple lawmakers (who were actually present for the recent classified briefing) have directly disputed this false reporting.
THE TRUTH: The Pentagon has been planning for Iran's desperate and reckless closure of the Strait of Hormuz for DECADES, and it has been part of the Trump Administration's planning well before Operation Epic Fury was ever launched.

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.

The killing of schoolchildren should shock our conscience and cause us to recoil in horror.

A nation whose leaders can so easily shrug off the death of children, no matter the cause, is in need of moral repair. 

There must be accountability and lessons learned from this tragedy. And we must never forget that Iranian children, too, are children of God.

I long warned fellow members of the Muslim community that at some point the GOP would return to demonizing Muslims. The GOP simply rotates their hate depending on need. Their hatred towards Latinos is costing them votes so now it's Muslims. Soon they will be back to LGBTQ, Blacks, women and repeat.

Ms Rachel has shifted from advocating for children killed by bombs that our taxes pay for, to advocating for children that our government is imprisoning without cause, which our taxes also pay for.
This isn’t what a kid’s entertainer should feel the need to do, but since we’re here, more ppl should.

This is a great read. It made me think, not just about rattlesnakes & their place in Texas folklore vs. the reality of them, but about how Texas in general seems to just attract tall tales that often completely obscure the reality of this land and its people.

Let’s just say that deploying rolling vacuums the size of Sherman tanks a mile under water to rip through habitats that have evolved over millions of years and that we barely understand is the definition of epic ecological disaster.

Trump: Gavin Newscum's interview weeks ago was, perhaps, the most self destructive interview I've ever seen. In one fell swoop, he took himself out of even being considered as the Presidential Nominee of the Crazy (as proven at the State of the Union Address) Democrats. He said, in a speech, he was dumb, had low Boards, can't read, has dyslexia, and has a mental disorder - A Cognitive Mess! On top of that, Black People are angry because he is obviously a racist. While we all want to be politically correct, having a mental disorder is not a positive campaign event.
Also, this was a politically suicidal act. The only thing he didn't say is he is losing his look, but nobody wants to say that about one's self. He is no longer a viable Presidential Candidate!
