This is probably the best time to be in organized crime since before the repeal of prohibition in 1933. I mean if you wanted to commit high level non-immigrant related crime, now is the time to go hog wild.

Normally I’d say just wait for the outcome but with tension such as this I think even us everyday people need legal details. The blow-by-blow of the national guard hearing just completed. (Thanks to Anna Bower.)

Challenge to leaders of private elite universities: work with others.

Cherminsky is right ofc. But elite privates think they’re way too special to follow anyone else’s lead. They are convinced they’ll win more by going it alone (and going along).

"Trump's 'compact with universities is just extortion... the future of higher education in America requires that every university reject it."

Very good from UC Berkley law dean Erwin Chemerinsky.

Higher ed leaders should all do so, and donors, unions, anyone with influence should pressure them to.

Today in 1952 aboard the frigate HMS Plym, anchored off Trimouille Island in the Monte Bello Islands off northwest Australia, the United Kingdom conducted Operation Hurricane, its first nuclear weapon test. The yield of the plutonium-fueled, implosion-type bomb was 25 kilotons.

A black and white photograph of the large, dark, and irregularly-shaped Hurricane mushroom cloud rising over Trimouille Island. A black and white photograph showing the large Hurricane mushroom cloud dissipating and drifting away from the site of the test in two different directions due to different winds at different altitudes. A photograph of the front page of the October 4, 1952, edition of The West Australian newspaper with a banner lead headline, “BRITAIN TESTS HER FIRST ATOMIC BOMB OF W.A. COAST,” and featuring a large photograph of the mushroom cloud under the sub-headline, “Cloud Billows High Over The Indian Ocean.”
