And one more other thing I’m seeing now, that Northwestern unsurprisingly didn’t mention in its statement, effectively banning gender affirming care at NU school of medicine

One other notable thing here: Northwestern said a few months ago it would fund own research through the end of the year, but remained unclear about what would happen at the start of 2026

Today is Nov. 28 and funding will be restored within 30 days…have to imagine the timing was intentional

And DOE Secretary celebrating the “agreement” as a “landmark deal”

Institutions that accept federal funds are obligated to follow civil rights law — we are grateful to Northwestern for negotiating this historic deal.”

Statement from U.S. AG Pam Bondi:

“Today’s settlement marks another victory in the Trump Administration’s fight to ensure that American educational institutions protect Jewish students and put merit first…

This is the second largest payout from a private university to the Trump admin yet, second only to Columbia’s $200m

As immigration courthouse ICE arrests have dipped over the past several weeks, seemingly random ICE arrests appear to be on the rise. Attorneys are calling it “a coordinated campaign of race-based stops in largely Hispanic and immigrant neighborhoods in New York City."

"Some have said it's extortion, others claim it is extortion (good)"

To be clear the adjustment is less than we need but I’m trying to count money that will hopefully be here in two weeks lol

and somehow i doubt those same people would then tell French speakers that what they spoke was corrupted, debased Latin

gee, i wonder why

Anyway, we have great Caribbean SFFH literature: people before me, ppl with me and people coming up who I respect but it's still a situation where you can be first to have published something. You're first to include something or try something and that is jarring for a lot of ppl.
but we persist :P
