ICE agents are still out there this morning, photographing schools from unmarked vehicles and then quickly leaving after being confronted. Keep your heads up.

$50 says that professor is actually part of an activist group but it’s like FIRE or heterodox academy or one of those institutions like hoover, fedsoc, etc. or an alumni association that does advocacy for something centrist so they don’t think it should count
lmao so uh a student just came up to me and told me that a classmate asked their professor about the talk I gave the other day and the prof said 'it seems like she's trying to be a scholar and an activist but you can't do both'
(the student who relayed this to me had a similar 'lmao uhhh' reaction)

i would rather have a robust public education system with a big comfy budget thx
Looking for an edge in college admissions? Just pull your kid from school. Homeschooling, long associated with hippies and religious conservatives in the U.S., is in the middle of a rebrand and a boom.

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.

The Bell Curve to Pedophile Island pipeline isn't the most obvious thing but neither is it totally surprising.
I parsed through some of the emails in the Epstein files, and it’s very clear that Epstein was a eugenicist weirdo. Something he very much had in common with the billionaire class à la Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. New for @motherjones.com.

In the latest files, the trafficker gives it a Silicon Valley–pilled name: "genetic altruism."

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.
When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.
