Adrian Harewood

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

She called out world leaders for sitting by and watching a live-streamed genocide without taking action.

Greta:

"I will never comprehend how humans can be so evil. That you would deliberately starve millions of people living trapped under an illegal siege as a continuation of decades of oppression and apartheid.”

Free from the shackles of censorship only to lick boot An assessment of the new podcast Can't Be Censored and how it, and the CBC, have differently fatal problems.

A host of the Can't Be Censored podcast told Pierre Poilievre that he was never allowed to interview him when he worked for the CBC. I take apart his claim, the defense of channelling all leader invus towards Rosemarie Barton and ask why choose to lick boot?

Spending Soars, Rankings Fall at New College of Florida Student outcomes and rankings are slipping at the liberal arts college while spending is up. Critics believe the college is at risk of implosion, and some are calling for privatization.

DeSantis gave it a right-wing overhaul in 2023. Since then, ~40% of the faculty has resigned. It spends more than 10x per student what the other schools do & ranking fell from 76th to 135th.

Universities considering capitulating to the Trump “conditions” should use this real world example to understand they will simply be destroying their own institution. bsky.app/profile/nich...

Urgent Ideas for Defending Press Freedom in Gaza Letters, condemnations, and Israeli court cases have failed to change the world’s deadliest place for journalists. We’ve cast out for a new approach.

behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

News coverage of the Trump administration's proposed "compact" with universities has been, so far, shockingly bad.

I hate to pick on NPR reporter Elissa Nadworny, who's usually a solid reporter, but almost every important thing I heard her say this morning about the proposed "compact" was false.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

Betting on the Creator Economy, Syracuse University Opens Academic Center for Podcasters and Influencers The shift in course offerings follows a recent decision to pause admission for 20 undergraduate majors, including fine arts and digital humanities.

Syracuse University, which costs $100,000 per year, has opened a school to give degrees in podcasting and social media influencing 🫥

At first, I thought this was some sort of protest before realizing it was just scientists being their awesome, nerdy selves

The Q&A: "I see some of the rhetoric, but I don’t see the actions" Lloyd Axworthy isn't impressed by Mark Carney. He's big on Wab Kinew though

Canada's losing a great deal by not having Axworthy-ish thinking inside the Carney government.

Treasury Plans to Mint $1 Commemorative Trump Coin The coin, bearing President Trump’s face, would honor the 250th birthday of the United States.

The Treasury Department is developing a one-dollar commemorative coin, bearing the image of President Trump, for the nation’s 250th birthday. But it’s not clear that a coin could legally feature an image of Trump; an 1866 act established that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

A group of Black South African peace activists who were part
of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla heading to #Gaza, including #NelsonMandela’s grandson, have disappeared- possibly apprehended by #Israel. Their friends, who had been in close contact w/ them, are worried about their safety.

An email issued to federal workers on Tuesday blatantly pinned the shutdown on Democrats.

Reconciliation includes recognizing Residential Schools are not the only colonial atrocity When it comes to reconciliation in Canada, we need to remember that the colonial history encompasses many assimilation tactics and its impacts are ongoing.
