This comment period ends today, 5/23, at 11:59 pm ET. Please do comment asap if you believe the government should allow us to get COVID vaccinations. I can't believe we even have to petition them about this, but here we are.

Some thoughts on "white genocide" in South Africa, as a scholar of both South Africa and genocide. The idea of a "white genocide" has been floating around for well over a decade.
To assess the claims, requires looking both at the treatment of whites in South Africa and the definition of genocide.

When the White House was asked about Vought's promise to traumatize employees, they responded with "what about the J6ers?"
Perfect distillation of an ethos where those serving the government are viewed as less worthy than those seeking to destroy it.

Now it's the professors using ChatGPT. Students aren't happy about it.

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

And recall everyone that: (a) DOGE is not authorized by an Act of Congress; (b) DOGE’s “review” is not statutorily mandated; and (c) DOGE is supposed to merely advisory.
Hearing now that every National Science Foundation grant is having to go through a new “DOGE review”. So existing grants and long term science and technology research having to undergo review by one of Elon’s interns. Huge percentage not passing their muster.

This is one of the most-shared posts on Bluesky in the past day and it's just completely false. You might think ChatGPT is a *bad* search engine, or prefer another search engine. But it has had integrated web search since last year.

NEW: Government officials insist that neither DOGE nor Musk have any real decision-making authority—they merely “advise” or “consult.”

But internal DOJ emails provide the most compelling evidence yet that DOGE is not simply advising—it’s calling the shots.
