My review of Workday Student

Amid ongoing turmoil, do not forget— #GeorgiaProtests have continued nonstop for 99 days since November 2024. More than 50 protesters remain behind bars, draconian laws have been introduced and adopted to severely restrict freedoms and silence critical voices.

Remember the ice bucket challenge for ALS? With over 1000 terminated from the National Institutes of Health and new research project reviews frozen all of that progress just came to a full stop. Same for cancer research and every other thing that threatens to kill you and people you love.
The court ordered that NIH grant funding be unfrozen, so The Regime found a way around it. For NIH grants to be funded, a review panel must rank them. In order for a review panel to meet, they must post it on the Federal Register. Submissions to the Federal Register are now on hold “indefinitely”.

2. Billie Jean King
3. BB King
4. Carole King

80th day of the protests in European Georgia. This is Tbilisi tonight.
Look at that crowd. 80 days of this. That’s how you resist a Putin-backed coup.

This will fly under the radar of many outside of higher ed but it is hard to overstate how bad this is for America, the country’s positon as a global leader in research and innovation, and the American economy.
1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

At the risk of being too controversial I’m just going to go ahead and put this out there: I am pro ending racism.
According to two league sources, Sunday’s game between the Chiefs and Eagles will mark the first time since February 2021 that “End Racism” is not included as a message in the back of a Super Bowl end zone.

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks:
"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

In Tbilisi, Georgia protestors surrounded corrupt judges and pro-Russia collaborators when they tried to have a fancy state sponsored banquet.
The corrupt judges were forced to flee while being pelted by eggs. Reports indicate staff also spit in their food. #GeorgiaProtests

Georgians have been waiting for sanctions against Bidzina Ivanishvili for years. For us, it’s a solid demonstration of support from our friends.
