Trump threatens Iran's supreme leader, escalating his rhetoric about the conflict President Trump called Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei an "easy target" but said, "We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now."

Dangerous rhetoric; horrific policy if enacted.

Former DOGE engineer says federal waste and fraud were 'relatively nonexistent' NPR's Juana Summers talks with Sahil Lavingia, who worked for the Department of Government Efficiency as a software engineer assigned to the Department of Veterans Affairs, about his experience.

Former engineer shares his experience working for DOGE
β€œLAVINGIA: Frankly, no. I did not find the federal government to be rife with waste, fraud and abuse. I was expecting some more easy wins. I was hoping for opportunity to cut waste, fraud and abuse.” But no!

Trump’s Policies Resulted In The Unnecessary Deaths Of Hundreds Of Thousands Of Americans: Lancet Report The Trump Administration's cuts to global health programs and public health agencies greatly hindered the country’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the report asserts.

In his first time it was estimated that almost a half million died, aka were killed, by his horrible Covid policies.

This is the slower, quieter eugenics-motivated genocide, easier, quicker and more efficient than individual bullets, murder by policy. We must change!

Anyone missing this needs to either turn it on now or stream it asap. This is fresh, new skool, taking the message to the people.

I am so heartened and proud of these newer leaders doing things their own way and probably educating many who tire of ole skool methods.

More than Half of CSUs Named β€˜Opportunity Universities’ in New Carnegie Classification | CSU A new Student Access and Earnings Classification recognizes CSU institutions that foster socioeconomic mobility.

Great news. Now we need to aspire that all 22/23 campuses must be such (whether Carnegie represents them as such or not), but all CSUs imho should be portals to the communities aspirations including but not limited to socioeconomic mobility.

Report: CSU System Gives More Money to Campuses With a Larger White Population The Cal State University system gives on average more money to campuses with a larger white population, according to a recent report by a Cal State Fullerton professor.

Why does the CSU give some campuses more per student than others, and why is that amount correlated with racial backgrounds of students. And this isn’t about who’s chancellor. This has been true at least 50 years. This practice needs explanation or end immediately.
