One girl said “it doesn’t matter if you ban a book because everyone can find that information online” and then I blew their minds by talking about how your search history can be monitored and sold to the government without your permission, but your library borrowing history requires a warrant.

Given that the emails in question were about him exploiting his position against a junior-scholar mentee, he should not be allowed within a million miles of a classroom and should not be allowed to serve on any dissertation committees, etc etc etc.
Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”

He will continue teaching.

The cozy relationship between utilities regulators and the firms they are meant to regulate greatly benefits a few bureaucrats turned executives.

It’s been a disaster for consumers, who see nothing from it but bigger bills.

Larry Summers says he's stepping back from public commitments to "rebuild trust and repair relationships." I'll bet the real reason is conferences/speaking gigs have been cancelling on him all week. Still, he's spinning this to make himself look good--like we'll forget he was besties w/ a pedophile.

Epstein launched a campaign to rehabilitate his image centred around scientific philanthropy...There is no suggestion that any of the scientists...committed any wrongdoing,but many were happy to remain in contact...even after the full scale of his crimes was..visible.

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

The DOJ ordered US Marshals to the house of the pardon attorney who refused to sign off on a pardon to give Mel Gibson back his guns. Big law firms told her they supported her but did not want to be seen representing her.
This is the use of government-sponsored fear to silence dissent.

Every year, $100s billions that should be funding schools, hospitals & social care is disappearing into tax havens to fuel crime, conflict & new private jets.

Remember how Trump said ICE targets “violent criminals?”

Trump’s own DOJ now reports that ONLY 2.5% of the people ICE arrested in Chicago have any criminal history.

That means 97.5% have ZERO criminal record. They were targeted because they were of Latino ethnicity. This is what fascism looks like

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Periodic reminder that the "Catholic League" has no official affiliation with the Church, and was basically turned into an anti-woke crusade under Bill Donohue's leadership in the 90s because he thought that Pope John Paul II was getting way too progressive.
