"The Israeli right wing is determined to tear down every last vestige of International Humanitarian Law as it was legislated into being after WW II, and has cheapened public discourse to the point where no public officials even bother to call out these serial war crimes."
Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
“Our vision for a fully-funded public education, where a professor can write and teach freely, and can challenge every vapid, cruel argument federal and state governments make, sustains us. It’s what we’re fighting for.”

It's pretty funny that Bari Weiss is purposely trying to recruit all the shittiest people on earth to destroy CBS News but she has to fire them whenever it becomes public that they're THIS shitty.
Stephen Miller is 10 times more dangerous than Kristi Noem who is also dangerous. Best case scenario is that they somehow ruin each other.
A lot of people gathered tonight outside the Department of Veterans Affairs in D.C. for a vigil memorializing Alex Pretti, who worked as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital.
In the latest episode of Under the Shadow, Michael Fox looks at the misconceptions, myths, and misinformation that have been spread about Venezuela in the wake of the US invasion.

They are going to throw someone under the bus beyond Bovino and we shouldn’t be fooled by this. Even if Noem or others go Miller and Trump are still there to ensure this won’t be over until they are all gone and held accountable for their crimes.
Join us next Thursday, Jan. 29 to discuss the U.S. intervention in Venezuela with Alejandro Velasco, Gabriel Hetland, Andreina Torres Angarita, and Christy Thornton. Register here to attend in person or online 👇

As a Minneapolis resident, I’ll explain it this way: they already outnumber all PDs in the metro area, and we’re still not backing down. They have assault rifles and Kevlar vs our phones and whistles, and we’re still not backing down. Their morale is already shit, and we’re just getting started.
NEW: Over a thousand protesters visited two hotels in downtown Minneapolis on Friday night, equipped with loud noise makers, in an attempt to disrupt the sleep of any ICE officers who may be staying in the hotels. 30 were arrested.
A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.
Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.
This is not new but it is expanding.
White House tweet: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announces President Trump is awarded with the Israel Prize. 🇺🇸🇮🇱 "It's going to be awarded to President Donald J. Trump for his tremendous contributions to Israel and the Jewish people" - @IsraeliPM
Israel has killed 71,000+ Palestinians. Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least seven Americans.
Israel has taken $21+ billion in US aid while doing it all.
And still, the Trump-Vance-Rubio administration celebrates Donald Trump receiving the "Israel Award":
Nice. And some students rolled their eyes when I shared a slide quoting sun tzu on this. Great work!!
Takeaway from this Aug 2025 article:
- big oil wants in to Venezuela
- Chevron has stayed while Exxon was kicked out
- Exxon-backed NGOs have pushed for action while Chevron-backed have not..
Guess who won that one?
As these war criminals meet, remember that Israel is still bombing Gaza with US weapons, the genocide is ongoing, and at least 8000 Palestinian hostages remain in Israeli prisons.
Corporate media will likely ask about none of these atrocities.
It's a failure of the academic imagination to think cutting core mission is the best route to right-sizing. Keep your teachers and researchers and lower class sizes (post pandemic students need more attention). Get ur savings by cutting admin fat and all the contracts with groups like Huron.
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!
