It is a sobering thought to realize that we're watching the leaders of American universities determine whether critical thinking-- and by extension, the #humanities --are still worthwhile investments.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis
Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.
We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Banksy's latest work, depicting a judge attacking a protester with a gavel, is gone — just two days after it appeared on one of Britain’s most prestigious court buildings. It was destroyed, a courts spokesman said, to maintain the "original character" of the building.

The work, painted onto the walls of one of Britain’s most important court buildings, showed a judge attacking a demonstrator with a gavel.

Der findes hvertifald ikke korruption I dk ☺️
Det var da pænt af Jeudan bare at stille et kontor i Fiolstræde til rådighed for Pernille Rosenkrantz-Theil. Og tilmed gratis. Hvem gad overhovedet betale for 465 kvm i Indre By? Også pænt af dem ikke at forvente noget til gengæld. Det siger Pernille selv.

Du kan simpelthen ikke give folket en større "lad dem spise kage-fuckfinger" end at fjerne afgift på kaffe og chokolade i en periode hvor priserne på de mest basale fødevarer er stukket helt af og mange dårligt kan få tingene til at løbe rundt
Magen til privilegieblindhed skal man lede længe efter.

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend.
The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law.
Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow.
Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

Between Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists being kidnapped by Israel and Trump turning LA into his personal war zone, I hope people realise that protest, no matter how peaceful, will always be met with violence by dying empires.

En mistillidserklæring til dommerne og retsstaten. Prominent professor går til angreb på strafreformen
Hummelgaard stoler tydeligvis ikke på dommernes retfærdighedssans, mener Jørn Vestergaard.

There's a reason one of the first jerseys, I bought, was Clyde the Glide.
May 19, 1990: Portland's Clyde Drexler with the finger roll over David Robinson in Game 7 of the WCSF.
Drexler had 22 PTS/13 REB/8 AST and Terry Porter had 36 PTS/9 AST in the Trail Blazers' 108-105 overtime win over the Spurs. Terry Cummings had 27 PTS/10 REB for San Antonio.

Man ses rättfärdigt som offer om man som barn groomas till sexuella handlingar men märkligt nog inte om man groomas till att utföra handlingar åt gängkriminella.
Den synen på barn som dör, dödas och blir vittnen till våld i Sverige idag måste ändras. Först då kommer korrekta insatser.
