If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Hard to overstate how bad this is.
The people doing anti-hate and anti-disinformation work are now being sanctioned by the United States of America.

The Australian government has announced a gun buyback in the wake of the Bondi Beach attack. The scheme is the largest since the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, which left 35 people dead & prompted Australia to introduce world-leading gun control measures. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Cuban’s post is not only tone deaf but it’s the equivalent of Boomers saying “what do you mean there’s no jobs? Just print your resume and bring it into the company”

The ravenous, all-consuming narcissism that has rotted the mind of this man requires that every event, every tragedy, every circumstance be ultimately about him. Others in the world do not exist as fully human; they operate only to validate Donald Trump. This is a gross display of mental illness.
Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer were murdered. This is how Trump decided to respond.

It really shouldn’t be up for debate anymore and the evidence is empirical… for several decades we’ve been the country with the highest healthcare costs with the lowest life expectancy. Assuming Mark’s questions are sincere…
For all Universal HC/Single Payer/M4A advocates.
What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?
Who in the USA gov runs the program?
R U ok with having to see a primary care doc before you can see a specialist ?

The Trump administration has removed MLK Day and Juneteenth as holidays that include free entrance to national parks, adding the president’s birthday instead
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people

It was nice to have defeated Trump in 2020. But I think we knew it would be a temporary reprieve unless SCOTUS was immediately reformed and expanded. Nothing good can truly hold as long as that Court is compromised.

Texas clearly did a racial gerrymander, which is illegal.
A district court found that Texas did a racial gerrymander, rejecting the new map because it is illegal.
But the Supreme Court reversed it.
Because? Must assume the gerrymanderers were acting in good faith (despite the evidence otherwise).

Wild watching the Overton window shift on these Venezuelan boat bombings. Yes it’s a fucking war crime to bomb survivors in water but so was the very first one and every fucking bombing since… it’s like society normalized it all except this 1 incident and maybe 1 guy ends up taking the fall

New: Hillary Clinton will be speaking at an event hosted by Israel Hayom (Israel's most read newspaper, run by Israeli-American billionaire & Trump megadonor Miriam Adelson).
She'll join John Fetterman, Eric Adams, Trump UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, Biden official Amos Hochstein, and Israeli officials
