So it really was an ideological choice and nothing more
(Media) SCOOP: Weeks ago, the owner of the Washington City Paper had offered to purchase The Washington Post's sports and local sections, keeping their desks alive.
The Post reporters were laid off and the desks were shut down instead.

We have an optional "no recording unless as an accommodation and also sharing that recording could result in disciplinary action" syllabus statement as of this year and I just kind of stared numbly at it because it's a real fear for most of my classes and I hate that this is a norm for so many of us

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.
When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.

I covered these from Los Angeles. Great stuff until cops went ham on protesters and journalists on May Day 2007 and kettled everyone into Macarthur Park and beat the living fuck out of everybody
On May 1, 2006, millions of immigrants defeated a horrific Republican immigration bill by taking to the streets and walking out of work
