I'm so sorry.

For me, it was hot water bottles and very strong ginger tea or just chew on ginger root -- candied or raw. So. Much. Ginger.

In an extraordinary break from the federal government, the public health departments of at least three states and New York City are joining the global alert network of the World Health Organization, spurred by President Trump’s decision to leave the agency.

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran).
The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

Dan Goldman didn't say Abolish ICE until it was politically convenient for him. That was enough for me. You don't wait to say No Gestapo until the polling comes in. That's not a leader.

Videos included DOGE members unable or unwilling to define DEI; discussing how they used ChatGPT and terms such as β€œblack” and β€œhomosexual” to flag grants for termination but not β€œwhite” or β€œcaucasian,” and acknowledgements they failed to achieve the stated goal of lowering the government deficit.

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.

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 β€˜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.

USS Columbia Eagle Mutiny: Anti War Rebellion at Sea On this day, 14 March 1970, two sailors aboard the SS Columbia Eagle, carrying 10,000 tons of napalm for the US military in Vietnam, mutinied in protest at the war. Al Glatkowski and Clyde McKay had smuggled guns onto the ship which they used to hijack it and sail it to neutral Cambodia. But they never could have guessed what would happen next, as they became embroiled in a complex series of world events over which they would have no control. We spoke to Al for a podcast miniseries about the events, and this is how he recounted the start of the mutiny: "When we got the guns out to clean them, I got up and I told Clyde, 'I'll be right back. I'm going to go to the bathroom before we do this.' I looked in the mirror and I said to myself, 'You may not live through this. These may be your last few minutes.' "I will never ever be able to see or look my children in the face when they ask me, ''What did you do to stop the war, Dad?'' You will be able to say that you did your duty to stop it. You did your best to stop it.' I walked around, turned around, went out the door, got the gun and said, 'Let's move.'" Listen to Al tell his and Clyde's incredible story in our podcast episodes 21-24.

Colleges shouldn't be forced to turn over massive amounts of student data as part of the Trump administration's ongoing attacks against DEI.

We won a court order stopping this mandate as our case continues, and we'll keep fighting to protect our students.
