I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
Here's a full write-up on the judge tossing out Columbia's unprecedentedly harsh disciplinary actions against students accused of occupying Hamilton Hall in 2024:

A judge just tossed out Columbia University's disciplinary actions against 22 students over the 2024 Hamilton Hall occupation, finding the school relied on sealed arrest records and held individuals responsible for group actions, violating its own rules.

Thanks, see it now!
That didn't stay up long...can't find it!
if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying
This is the FBI 302 in which a woman recounts her accusation that Epstein lulled her with the promise of a babysitting job only to drug and rape her. She says he tried to get her to recruit other girls her age. (She was 13 or 14).

The ICC held hearings today to confirm the charges against Rodrigo Duterte for killing suspected drug dealers.
thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her momβs kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol
all things considered it is kind of funny to pick your least competent guy to run your domestic security service
Kash Patel says he now has a lead that Savannah Guthrie's mom is being held at either the NCAA Final Four or the Masters golf tournament, plans to personally investigate.
ICE is terrorizing our communities, and Congress has the power to take action right now!
Republicans gutted Medicaid and SNAP to bankroll ICE.
Itβs time to claw back ICEβs funding, ban its use of private data, and end qualified immunity for its agents.
<1/3 seriously> what about all those Norwegian oil exports.
Side-by-side portrait of civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin. On the left is a black-and-white photo of Colvin as a teenager wearing glasses. On the right is a later-life color portrait of her wearing a gray jacket with a red collar. A black band at the bottom contains the quote: βI knew then and I know now that when it comes to justice, there is no easy way to get it.β - Claudette Colvin.
Claudette Colvin was 15 when she refused to give up her seat. A child was asked to accept injustice. She refused.
History didnβt spotlight her the way it should have. Courage came first.
Civil rights pioneer who helped ignite the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

BREAKING: DOJ to investigate Supreme Court for mortgage fraud.
So, just to recap, we have two random DOGE bros with basically no knowledge or experience in the humanities (and at least one of whom is a college dropout), who just went around terminating grants that had gone through a full grant application process by feeding in a list of culture war grievance terms, selecting out the grant titles based on the appearance of seemingly βwokeβ words, then asking ChatGPT βyo, tell me this is DEIβ and then sending termination emails the next day from a private server and forging the directorβs signature. This is what βgovernment efficiencyβ looks like in practice: two guys with zero relevant experience, a keyword list built on culture war grievances, and a chatbot confidently spitting out 120-character verdicts on federal grants that went through actual review processes. The experts who might have explained what these grants actually do? Locked out. The director whose signature appeared on termination letters? Couldnβt tell you which grants got cut or w
Ever wondered how your grant got cancelled? No we know. Some college dropout asked ChatGPT "is it DEI/woke"?

Saw this project posted on LinkedIn, feel like a lot of folks here would find this useful. A database of independent journalists, searchable by topic/platform, and looks like thereβs also a form to submit nominations. Cool stuff journalismatlas.com
In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.

3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.
