coaches are bosses, of course, they know full well what gets them the next contract & the next job

it’s noteworthy that he’s using college sports as a way not to talk about the war he started or the kids he murdered but also this is just classic presidential labor-busting

"They're very well-represented," Trump said. "You know why? Because people like Nick Saban and Urban Meyer, all of the people that I know in the room -- and the people probably I don't know -- they all care very much about the student-athlete more so than they care about themselves, so I think they're really here. In that sense, they're represented very well here."

Also amazing, if completely expected: Two-hour meeting with 50 "stakeholders" in college sports but not a single student. Trump said that the people who "care" about students are there, so, "In that sense, they're represented very well here."

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

there's no alt text here which is unfortunate because we have located the most y2k a car has ever been and everyone needs to know about it.

for the evangelicals who seem to be taking lead on this nightmare, this war is not one of choice but absolutely existential. they are clearing the way for what they imagine is Jesus’ return. that to them is the whole point of history. mere numbers of lives are meaningless compared to this exigency.

in addition to his mesoamerican genocides, abrams chairs the tikvah fund, which is very openly a propaganda & indoctrination outlet (and less openly a pipeline for agents provocateurs) for the combatant who touched off this war which you’d think objective journalism might like to take into account

It would create a different impression if they went with "Still, Elliott Abrams, who aided and abetted a genocide in Guatemala, said he believed there were many benefits to killing the leaders of Iran..."

A screenshot of a YouTube video by AP entitled: LIVE: Trump participates in a Saving College Sports roundtable. Trump is seated at a table with a big red carpet behind him holding his hands up in a shrug. Captions: "I'm here as long as you need me. They came to me, they said"

Over 1000 people are dead in the Iran war Trump started for no reason. Crude oil futures spiked: the largest weekly increase on record. 92,000 jobs lost last month. Inflation creeping upwards

Trump has spent the last 1.5 hrs at a "Saving College Sports" roundtable and yes, it is still going

kept trying it and every time it just came back with the POLYBIUS logo, just like everyone else’s. of course that’s what all images look like so not too surprising, not much of an exercise

srsly, thought i'd been very clear with "people don’t understand or are unwilling to grapple with just how evil the scientific & medical industries have been across the board" but i guess JUST HOW EVIL needs flashing lights & popup video facts or something

there’s a category of thing that transcends mere war crime & is more of an affront crying to heaven, any heaven, for mercy, like the kind of perfidious deed bards would get together for days to sing about how hard the gods kicked your ass over, & they just keep doing them

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

Absolutely sickening shit: the Dena had just participated in international naval exercises *with the US* and was unarmed and the US knew this and sank it anyway and left the survivors to drown

I am always amazed by how many people around me are reading (and teaching!) Caliban and the Witch and can now confirm this is a useful piece to share with those whose enthusiasm for marxist-feminist analysis (good!) outstrips their resources for critiquing Federici's historiography (which is bad)

I believe thats a bingo for being a woc historian on the interwebs--do I win anything? More service?

CIA organised fake vaccination drive to get Osama bin Laden's family DNA Senior Pakistani doctor who organised vaccine programme in Abbottabad arrested by ISI for working with US agents

you seem to be under the misapprehension that either of us is antivax, rather than critical of uses vaccines have been put to by govts & corporations that ultimately provide space for antivax grifts. or you’re in bad faith. either way I commend doing the reading

just to be clear, you recognize that you’re asking a medical historian of specifically vaccination about smallpox

just grabbing one at random here

people don’t understand or are unwilling to grapple with just how evil the scientific & medical industries have been across the board, esp to vulnerable populations that make ideal research populations

antivax cranks would never have had room to operate if the corps hadn’t swept it clear for them

ICE detain U.S. Army veteranβ€”a 50 year old woman with major health issues.

20 plus armed agents stormed this residential neighborhood to arrest her at gunpoint.

Her crime? Kate just took part in a peaceful protestβ€”evidently her 5 foot tall stature intimidated these agents.

Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.
