THIS IS BIG

For non-academics who might not understand why:
1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house
2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.
Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.

I am so tired of “full responsibility” that involves no action and “shame” that kicks in only upon public disclosure.
SUMMERS: “.. I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused. I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein.”

Maybe it's time for this entire class of people to retire permanently from social life. They have money. They'll be fine.

You olds don't need to hear this, but to you youngbloods out there, I come to you from the future: when the news begins talking about ways to save money for the holidays, rather than getting you hyped to drown in debt buying shit, that means shit is WAY FUCKING WORSE than they are letting on.

It's ok to just say ICE is a menace to our communities, its employees are not public servants and it should be abolished at the first opportunity.

If you want to win a Democratic primary, this ain't it.
ICE should be cracking down on the cartels, not our communities.

ICE should be deporting gang members, not small business owners.

ICE should be hunting down human traffickers, not moms and babies.

The California National Guard was never yours to control.

Your takeover brought chaos to LA and diverted troops from firefighting, anti-drug trafficking, and public safety missions.

This has never been about "law and order" for Donald Trump. Just a sick power trip.
Trump: "I love Los Angeles. If they want help during this, I would love to send in the National Guard or whoever is necessary to help them."

Trump is trying to sell the federal student loan portfolio so predatory companies & his billionaire buddies can keep profiting & preying on our borrowers.

This is dangerous & unacceptable.

Imagine thinking it was a good career move to lie to a grand jury just to pretend James Comey “lied to Congress,” all so you could feed Trump’s ego and let his base keep pretending he isn’t exactly who he is. Someone please ask Lynsey Halligan how it’s working out.

Lindsey Halligan made 3 fuck-ups in the grand jury:
1) She implied to GJ Comey would HAVE to testify
2) There was more evidence they weren't sharing
3) She does not appear to have re-presented the 2 charges GJ approved

Here's the third (which I predicted Friday).

There's no indictment.

CHARLOTTE, NC - A man was stopped twice by ICE. The first group checked his ID and let him go. Minutes later, another set of agents rolled up, smashed his window, dragged him out, and assaulted him. The man is a U.S. citizen.

This from the @washingtonpost.com editorial board is remarkably revealing. Seattle mayor scandalously lives practically like a normal middle class person in America. And wants to introduce policies that would help people like her. Shocking!

Wow, it seems like we just need to stop poisoning the world.
Only 2 years since the ban on neonics, France's population of insect-eating birds has risen 2-3% - from banning a single type of insecticide. Demonstrating just how much harm we cause birds when pesticides kill off the insects they need for food.

Good news: Study shows France’s birds making tentative recovery after neonicotinoid pesticide ban

UK has only just closed loophole in neonics ban (‘derogations’) so may be too soon to see recovery here?
