Zack Polanski saying what every politician should be saying,
"It's problematic to weaponise the synagogue attack to silence protest in this country against the genocide in Gaza"
"These are separate things and we should condemn them both"

The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.

Accreditation is absolutely a pressure point they are going to exploit
Harvard Univ is reportedly in talks with Trump to make a deal. Harvard should look at how Columbia Univ making a deal with Trump destroyed the school's reputation. Plus even after Columbia's surrender, Trump regime just announced a new investigation into Columbia: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

An interesting newspaper has been introduced note that I’m in indonesia: www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/05...
In Indonesia, fears grow that new history books may rewrite dark past
The 10-volume series would have an Indonesia-centric narrative and aims 'to reinvent the Indonesian identity,' Culture Minister Fadli Zon said.
