Awesome! I am a Lay Dominican, & the Dominican Order are the Black Friars there. I believe the place is or was built on a former Dominican Priory.

Glad my niece & her family got out of L.A. earlier & should have left from Denver heading home to KY by now.

The link between misogyny and violent extremism One expert argues that in that search for answers – we’re missing something crucial.

A very interesting & important line of research that in some respects seems obvious, but as discussed, people do not talk about it.

The president does not have this power. He’s acting unconstitutionally to commit crimes against humanity— murder on the high seas.

Lest it be forgotten, the president may be immune re: official acts (assuming these are), but subordinates committing extrajudicial executions are not so entitled.

Also, this post is a mess as I left out the line about how long until things get aimed at tenure/tenure-track faculty to increase teaching (that was why I made the teaching my course twice a year remark). Ah, @merriam-webster.com's word of the day: Embarrass (but I am not embarrassed).

A colleague pointed out that we may have a 3/3 for career-line. I thought it was four already & I know some do research (or would like to do it).

A key group there: Courts.

BTW: People have already been killed/died due to ICE/DHS actions, not to mention what has happened in international waters.

Maybe she & the administration should go take a look. I believe even Trump asked the question two weekends ago if the videos are old ones.

I believe in our department, we already have a 4 course load. We have research & service duties, as well. There was a shin our courses recently that now I hope flips back. Maybe I should offer my Intergroup Relations class twice a year . . .

Word of the Day: Embarrass If you’ve ever felt frozen, unable to move, or like a deer in the proverbial headlights when embarrassed by something, then the origins of the verb embarrass will make a great deal of sense. When

The @merriam-webster.com word of the day is Embarrass.

Seems fitting as it is the First Monday of October, plus a special session of the Utah Legislature starts today . . .

There’s an essay to be written about how maga patriotism is just shitty fandom. Anyone who follows sports knows fans like this, it’s always the ref’s fault, the other team doesn’t exist, there’s some plot/player/coach holding the team back otherwise they’d always win easy bsky.app/profile/atru...

There is a legal distinction, but Miller never studied or practiced law. The supremacy clause also doesn’t make the federal government all powerful- we have a federalist system, which Republicans used to believe in. Now they believe in wielding power, gangsterism, and thuggery.
