This is awesomely named Sarah Fortune, Harvard prof who had to stop her TB research because of the idiot. Gangsta Nikes (what we called the Cortez in the 90s) makes her look doubly awesome.

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.
An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

When you have a chance to elect a terrible businessman who will—in a week—kill the economy in a way that will last generations, but also go to a golf tournament hosted by the Saudis instead of going to Lithuania to honor fallen troops, you gotta do it.

If Palestine is the litmus test everybody has failed it, so it's not a surprise the West is in a dire State. The same men bombing brown & Black people indiscriminately will also snatch your white elderly Mom's social security. That's why fighting for rights can't be selective. Everybody or nobody.

Universities are caving to Trump with a stunning speed and scope
Some of the nation’s oldest and wealthiest institutions are swiftly bending to President Donald Trump, who is acting on longstanding conservative criticisms of universities as elitist and progressive.

Harvard's prez 1950s to early 1970s, Nathan Pusey, made his name and reputation by standing up vs McCarthyism.
He was overtaken-by-events during Vietnam-era turmoil, but is remembered for his earlier stand.
Time to choose for university leaders, and all of us.

This would be a good time for an historian to write an article on how university presidents dealt with McCarthyism in the 1950s - who stood up, who succumbed, and what does it show us about the current moment.

That Watt Family commercial for Dick’s is like a mishmash of four John Hughes movies. Commercials are always artistically bankrupt, but that is a “Airline filing for Chapter 11”-level of bankrupt.

AOC yelling MUSTAAARD on the floor at, like, MTG when she does something dumb would be wonderful.
Really excited to listen to the new Kendrick album.
I’m waiting until I have the space and attention to listen to it all the way through uninterrupted, and give it the respect it deserves. Hopefully tomorrow
