Historian here it’s Hannah Arendt’s death anniversary and she was of course prescient.

“Upend it”

Social scientists spent the last 50 years arguing that racism is still prevalent in US even if it's covert (racism w/ a veneer), unconscious (racism w/out intent), or systemic (racism w/out racists).

Along comes MAGA, which embraces gutter racism while claiming that teaching about racism is racist.

Indeed: Huntington was an early warning sign of how, amidst skyrocketing inequality, a small coterie of unpatriotic super elites would seek to tear down state structures while shouting racist narratives of blood and soil into the media that they control

“opinions on the value of a college degree were sharply divided by party. About 22 percent of Republicans said college was worth the cost compared to 47 percent of Democrats. In 2013, 55 percent of Republicans and 61 percent of Democrats thought college was worth the cost.”

OU placed a graduate student instructor on leave after a student publicly contested a grade and filed an illegal discrimination claim after she received a failing grade on an essay that cited the Bible. According to a statement released Sunday, the university wrote it is taking these concerns seriously and has begun a full review of the situation. “The University of Oklahoma takes seriously concerns involving First Amendment rights, certainly including religious freedoms. Upon receiving notice from the student on the grading of an assignment, the University immediately began a full review of the situation and has acted swiftly to address the matter,” the statement read.

Oklahoma University has placed a grad student instructor on admin leave for failing a psychology paper on gender for citing *the Bible* as a source of empirical evidence.

In response, OU has placed on instructor on admin leave citing, get this, the FIRST AMENDMENT.

Universities are cooked.

This is great to hear, and I hope encouraging to other institutions

1) Inflammatory claims about health care without supporting evidence will result in deaths.

2) Sadly, since extremist anti-science ideologues took over our FDA, its claims have lost all credibility.

3) Over 1,300 children died of COVID itself (NOT the vaccine), during Aug. 2021–Jul. 2022 alone.

Full list of degrees not classed as ‘professional’ by Trump admin Certain students may no longer receive the same loan for their studies as what counts as "professional" will determine how much they get.

“It has also been reported that engineering, a business master's, counseling or therapy, and speech pathology will not be considered "professional" either.” www.newsweek.com/full-list-de...

newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Premier David Eby, speaking now, cites PM Carney's comments from earlier this week that pipeline would have to have agreement from B.C. and First Nations.

"This project does not have the support of Coastal First Nations," he says. Adds no proponent, no route, no money.

Now, I'm just a simple country doctor (of philosophy), but the language MOU seems like it's in for a very tough go during the inevitable court challenge over the government's duty to consult meaningfully with Indigenous peoples over the decision to approve a pipeline.

The method to Mark Carney’s madness The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.
