Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”
On Feb 3 TPS is being terminated for Haitians in this country. People here for decades. People who are students, workers, whose kids are here. At least 330,735 people impacted.
Haiti is not safe. That's why TPS exists in the first place.
I cannot begin to express the rage I feel.
We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.
Sword of Doom for new year’s.
Nakadai was the best. in 2016 i got to ask him directly how did it — his incredible range from Sword of Doom to Seppuku and beyond. He said he was just following his directors’ instructions.
Steven and Alice smiling and holding each other’s books
Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated
Nooooooooo!!!!!!
If antifa were an actual thing, just imagine the reply-alls.
Enrollment in Georgia’s Medicaid work requirement program has remained stubbornly low.
Despite a quarter-million low-income Georgians being eligible, only about 9,000 residents were actively enrolled as of Aug. 31.
From a former Palantir worker: “Using software I worked on to send U.S. citizens to a foreign gulag without due process is surely not a situation where ‘if you don’t like it, your remedy is to go vote’ is a reasonable response…”
If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.
We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet
We simply cannot live in a country where the death of hate mongers is a tragedy and the death of everyone else only warrants a shrug.
Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.
charlie kirk has received infinitely more sympathy and support from liberals than every single trans person, immigrant, and palestinian combined
Supreme Court Rules 6-3 That Fundamental Interests Of United States Of America Would Be Irreparably Harmed If It Race-Based Harassment And Detention By Masked Thugs Were Even Temporarily Halted

CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?
Maine’s highest court affirmed the legality and constitutionality of the rules for the state’s budding paid family and medical leave program. mainemorningstar.com/briefs/maine...
Highly recommend "The Unseen Truth: When Race Changed Sight in America", by Prof. Sarah Lewis, Harvard art & cultural historian. She focuses on historical view.
I wish people like original poster, or folks with large platforms boost Black scholars who are in archives, producing scholarship on this.

How do you reconcile teaching brain health while ignoring the virus that harms the brain? By lecturing unmasked in an unfiltered room during a surge?
You don’t. You just sweep the evidence under the rug.

Even so-called “mild” infections leave measurable brain damage: shrinkage, inflammation, disrupted connectivity. This isn’t fringe science—it’s published in the very journals we assign to students. And still… silence.
An orange background and a meter indicating moderate wastewater levels of SARS-CoV-2. The text reads: COVID-19 rates continue to take off across the U.S. as our summer surge hits every region. All metrics report substantial increases in SARS-CoV-2 spread in recent weeks — and the latest data are from early August, meaning levels may be much higher now than our reported numbers. Wastewater data from the CDC and WastewaterSCAN show continued increases in coronavirus levels. Coronavirus levels in wastewater remain highest in the South and West Coast: most states in these two regions report “very high,” “high,” or “moderate” wastewater viral activity levels, according to the CDC. And “high” levels in the CDC’s reporting system correspond to what other health experts might call “incredibly high.” Test positivity and emergency department visits for COVID-19 also continue to increase across the U.S. Similar to last week, the CDC reported increased test positivity for every health region, and the agency's forecasting center reported that cases are “growing or likely growing in 45 states” as of August 5." Line chart showing COVID-19 test positivity from the network of PCR labs reporting to the CDC. Title: "COVID-19 Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) Percent Positivity, by Week, in Region 6, Reported to CDC." A note below the chart clarifies that Region 6 covers Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The Y axis represents weekly % test positivity and the X axis represents time, going from August 2023 to August 2025. In that time, this region experienced waves in summer 2023, winter 2023-24, and summer 2024, and a smaller uptick in winter 2024-25. Most recently, test positivity jumped significantly in late July/early August 2025.

They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug.
Remember how starting in 2022 i said that if LLM based chatbots were intgrated into health and benefits portals *Before* said bots were built in a way that equipped them with mechanisms to bracket their biases, then we would see some just stunningly bad perpetuations of human prejudical bias?
Yeah.
