Ethics cancelled at TAMU. A little on the nose.
Texas A&M decided to publicly cancel my Ethics class, and share a false statement that I declined to provide information, which made it impossible for [them ] to request an exemption. See for yourself, if this statement is true.

I am deeply frustrated and ashamed of my alma mater, Texas A&M. Ordering a professor to remove or alter course content violates core university principles. It is the behavior of a censorship-driven institution that undermines academic freedom, learning, and intellectual progress.

The FEDS drugged and shot Fred Hampton in bed.
Philly cops blew up a building in the 1980s and most people don't even know the MOVE bombing happened.
I think you're downplaying how normalized US death is.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

During the first trump admin, I worked on a project examining immigration detention center audits. The FOIAd docs had a lot of redactions, but so randomly and haphazardly that it was barely an impediment. I was expecting a similar kind of incompetence with this
Anyone can read the redactions of the Epstein Files by just copying and pasting them into a word doc. The people at Trump's Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents.

"If we can salvage one bit of light from this moment—maybe even just a spark—it’s that while Trump’s rule is punishing, it is not impenetrable. We can extinguish his hate by being the light."
I wrote about the multiple tragedies of the last few days, Hanukkah, Trump and how the forces of light and dark are trapped in a battle for our souls.
Flaming out
Trump may beckon darkness, but he can never extinguish the light.

GTFO with this mess.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

One of the many bitter ironies in this is that they lumped prohibitions on teaching on race and gender into the same section as antidiscrimination policies. Half of the policy now bans the teaching of why the other half exists in the first place

And despite this clear bias, I only ever heard negative perceptions of NYT from conservatives in my field research during this time
NYT had details of Trump's engagement with Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking and *hid it for him*, at the same time it was crucifying Clinton as untrustworthy due to her document retention & security.
