I know it’s tired, but surely the faculty at the university of Austin and all signatories of the Harper’s letter will rise up against this vicious assault on freedom of expression— as well as the Atlantic masthead
A BYU alumnus and two faculty members entered the job fair wearing pro-immigrant T-shirts with messages like “I stand with immigrants" and “The kingdom of God has no borders.”
An administrator told them to leave, saying BYU is “politically neutral,” and that if they refused they would be arrested.

Utahns take to the streets outside of BYU to protest Border Patrol’s presence at campus job fair
Border Patrol's inclusion at a BYU job fair sparks protests off campus, with some demonstrators saying the immigration crackdown doesn't fit with LDS Church principles.

Happy 45 anniversary of the Toronto bathhouse raids to all who celebrate.
Our current police chief was one of the officers behind the 2000 "Pussy Palace" lesbian bathhouse raid. History is not so old.

What were the Toronto bathhouse raids? City marks 45th anniversary of dark spot in its history
The raids on Feb. 5, 1981 were, at the time, the largest mass arrest in Toronto history. Police finally apologized in 2016.

“OPM is … rebranding career public servants as ‘policy’ employees, silencing whistleblowers, and replacing competent professionals with political flunkies without any neutral, independent protections against politicization and arbitrary use of power.”
Bad news today.
The administration finalized a plan to remove civil service protections from about 50,000 federal workers, with no exemption for statistical or scientific agency personnel. This erodes protection of those agencies from political influence.

The nation’s first white president continues to conduct himself in a way that should compel moderate pro American leaders in the white community to act— is there no outrage that will give them the courage for their necessary “Sister Souljah” moment?
Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963.
The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

Surely these voting stakes will be passed on to the next president of the United States, the same way the profit of these companies are being directly deposited into the United States Treasury.
Quick question: which president is it that keeps acquiring voting stakes in private companies and also demands the authority to personally set companies’ DEI policies?

I try not to be a retvrn guy but the netflix disc era was a very positive influence on me
the end of the netflix disc era/life circumstances mean that I no longer have a film bro lifestyle, but the 1928 Passion of Joan of Arc is one of the most moving things I’ve ever seen.
also the only remaining copy of the full movie was found in the closet of an insane asylum.

Venerable magazine Harper's Bazaar is running its short story contest again, with the winner receiving "the chance" of publication in the magazine. Just one catch: per the wording of the guidelines, _just by entering_ you transfer copyright ownership of your story to Harper's parent, Hearst. 1/3

It was either this or a non-binary primary character in Peacock’s reboot of “Friends,” you see.
I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.
