Over the weekend ICE abducted an NIH contractor when he showed up to a courthouse for his green card hearing. He is documented. His wife is a citizen.

He is also member of the skeleton crew of animal care staff that works through a shutdown, to ensure the health and wellbeing of research animals.

Yeah, no. The law is clear: federal workers must receive back pay.

AND I have a bill to ensure federal contractors get it as well.

Geography is open, but of course it must be in English translation.

Recommended primary source readings in contemporary Islam?

Okay: a question at the edge of my teaching:
For a world religions survey, I'm assigning a bunch of Islamic sources spanning the 1447 (lunar) years since the Hijra, but I don't know recent stuff as well as I know medieval stuff. Any good recommendations for Islam today that are 1st-year accessible?

Igor Stravinsky could have heard all the original Beatles albums. And he DID hear Charlie Parker live in a club once; Parker acknowledged his presence by quoting a melody from the Firebird (in some tellings, the Rite of Spring), causing Stravinsky to pound his table in laughter, spilling his drink.

Tulane "terminated an academic director this summer after the syllabus she'd helped create for an infectious disease class was rejected by a newly hired instructor because it included an academic article about a polio outbreak in Gaza."

Yesterday, flights were delayed an average of 53 minutes out of Newark and 39 minutes out of Denver. And at Hollywood Burbank Airport, the average ground delay was two and a half hours. That airport had no air traffic controllers for over five hours Monday.
The government shutdown is snarling air travel. Officials say it could get worse
A dozen facilities saw air traffic control shortages on Monday, delaying flights at several airports. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed “a slight tick-up in sick calls” due to the shutdown.

The cuts at the National Endowment for the Humanities go far deeper than any of these agencies - almost 70% of 179 people were terminated, despite no change to the agency's budget.

There were no savings here - only idealogical destruction. #NEH
