A mentor-to-be of mine (Philip Yenawine) created A Day Without Art as part of the Visual AIDS collective in 1989. A day to honor the loss of brilliance as a result of the epidemic. 1/x
This year, Trump cancelled recognition of World AIDS Day, today, & cuts to funding worldwide have consequences.

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020.
Both were later sentenced to life in prison!

Leavitt: "The people of Honduras have highlighted to him how the former President Hernandez was set up. This was a clear Biden over prosecution."

One of my colleagues applied for their real ID over 6 months ago, still hasn't got it. He also tried to get a passport but hasn't been able to book an appointment that didn't conflict with his work hours. This is another tax on poverty.

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

This is the direct result of Trump’s reckless and rushed mass deportations: a mother deported in error and her two-year-old son left behind.
There aren’t strong enough words to describe the cruelty and inhumanity with which this admin treats immigrants. It must end.

Yeah, what if the fishermen hired to run drugs had radioed in a cartel airstrike on an unseen American warship? You have to be careful.
Fox News' Joey Jones justifies the US military killing survivors after an initial boat strike: "An enemy combatant does not have to have a gun to be a danger or a threat... if you leave anybody alive, they can signal and let others know what’s happening and they can also retaliate through radio."

these people make a stink over mediocre people receiving mediocre grades constantly and are not worth engaging with, but i will say one thing: the paper she wrote was worse than a lot of the LLM ones i've received in my time grading which is embarassing to say the least
Here’s the TPUSA version of events at OU.
Not surprisingly, they lie about what happened — she wasn’t flunked for quoting the Bible; she never even quoted it — and accuse the instructor, whom they name, as being “mentally ill”

This was handed in for a PSYCH CLASS & when the prof said she didn't use empirical sources but rather submitted op-ed she whined about religious liberty + prof got suspended.

What is Jared Kushner's job in the administration?
I’d rather question why is Kushner there and why is he laying out a vision? We did not vote him into any gov position nor the senate we voted for has approved his candidacy.
This isn’t a grey zone anymore, it’s 50 shades of grey.

It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors.
$33M is 358 assistant professors. Or about fourteen percent of the total number of full-time faculty at Michigan State.

He went 9-15 in two seasons, including 1-8 in the Big Ten this year. (ESPN first reported).
