You know who else is excellent at collecting relevant papers to assist a researcher in trying to understand a particular topic? A librarian.

You know what you still have to do when conducting a lit review? Read the damn papers. There is no shortcut for doing quality research. You just gotta do it

Prairieland ICE shooting trial jury gets closer look at 'antifa' materials defendants owned Anti-fascism, anarchy and the abolition of ICE were common themes in literature and paraphernalia investigators found in the defendants' homes and cars.

β€œFBI investigators walked the jury Tuesday through β€˜zines’… Owning these items is not illegal, FBI Special Agent Kasey Bennett testified in Fort Worth federal court Tuesday. But…” (there is no credible but)

this is the bad faith journalists business / bigots business model. and then legacy news organizations will launder them as experts representing one side of a story where (despite claims to being objective journalists!) the truth can't possibly be known.

This is literally the exact issue that led to the change in diagnostic criteria in 2013 in the DSM-V. They wanted to depathologize being trans as well as being gender nonconforming while providing criteria to differentiate between the two in the diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

Judge Orders US to Stop Calculating IEEPA Tariffs for Importers A US judge has ordered the Trump administration halt a key step in the tariff payment process in order to make any refunds simpler after the US Supreme Court struck down the president’s global tariffs...

"He also questioned why the government was continuing to do so after the Supreme Court ruled the tariffs illegal."

Uh, yeah...

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

In the middle of the strike map Pete Hegseth was boasting about at a Pentagon briefing is Minab, where a US Israeli strike killed 175 children, indicating the attack may have been carried out by the US. Trump officials claim they are investigating, for whatever that is worth.

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

under AB-715, a bill he signed, I believe teachers in CA schools are forbidden from teaching or say this? the bill basically codifies IHRA's defintion of antisemitism, equating criticism of Israel w/ antisemitism.

Oregon Senate Passes Bipartisan Measure Investing

in the State’s Natural Environment and Wildlife

House Bill 4134 relies on taxes paid by visitors in hotels, motels, and other vacation stays

 

SALEM, OR – The same gorgeous landscapes that draw tourists to our state will get new investments funded by those visitors under legislation passed today in the Oregon Senate. A tax on hotels, motels, and vacation stays will help pay for wildfire resilience, invasive-species eradication, wildlife conservation, and prevention of poaching. The broadly supported, bipartisan measure helps reverse decades of underfunding for protection of fish and wildlife.

INBOX: The Oregon Senate passed the 1.25 Percent for Wildlife bill, which will raise the state’s lodging tax by 1.25 percent to fund wildlife conservation programs, mostly through the Dept of Fish and Wildlife. This has been a long time in the making.

It makes perfect sense for Iran to throw cheap drones at these air defense systems that shoot off $2 to $4 million dollar missiles at a time.

When they start seeing more drones getting through they will understand that the air defense systems are getting depleted.

At that point of depletion they can fire off some deadlier missiles that they've been saving.

This is what happens when you have a Fox News host running the defense department and a buffoon for a president.
