my takeaway from this letter is that glenn youngkin, rector sheridan and their flunkies on the board are deeply dishonest people who are engaged, with the trump administration, in a mob-style shakedown against the university of virginia
Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.
It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

It’s quite literally the Platner defenders and DNC consultants who are out there implying via their actions/strategy that all white working class men are fascists or fascist friendly to the point that no better progressives can be found and that expecting or saying there’s better is purity politics.

Sweetbriar Nature Center on Long Island is asking for help after one of its owls flew off.
Nebula is not native to the area and depends on humans for her care.
If you see her, don't try to catch her, officials say.

A lot of these red states are gerrymandered to the hilt as well. Republicans are making it almost impossible for people to vote their way out of this mess
Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket
Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.
Fuck Columbus.
Fuck Columbus.

Cruising crackdown in Penn Station bathroom puts at least 20 men in ICE custody
State and city laws prohibit local police departments from turning people over to ICE. That restriction does not apply to the federally run Amtrak Police Department.
