Facing constitutional headwinds, the strategy pivoted. If they could not legislate the curriculum, they would capture the institutions...partisan loyalists to boards of trustees and threatened budget vetoes to infiltrate colleges and universities.

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.
But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

Honestly, the ablative is the most interesting case. It becomes especially fascinating in Late Latin. One of my favorite parts of teaching advanced Latin is introducing students to the chaotic ablative!

"A documentary about Jewish women’s slave labor during the Holocaust? The focus on gender risked “contributing to D.E.I. by amplifying marginalized voices.”"
Iran's leadership has chosen Mojtaba Khamenei, the previous leader's son and aide, as the new supreme leader. So President Trump's war has succeed inreplacing one Supreme Leader Khamenei with another who is younger, healthier, just as hardline and has close ties to the IRGC.

Bombed a school & then, 30 mins later, bombed it again—ensuring any kids who survived & any rescue workers would be killed
“People were pulling out children’s arms and legs. People were pulling out severed heads”
One of the worst war crimes in modern history.
It was a school—not an IRGC base.
I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

"Screw Covid, I'm going to Sturgis!" The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held in August 2020, was the epitome of the individual choice mindset. Of course it spread cases outward and caused infections, illness, and death. A new research paper allows us to watch the Sturgis Covid wave spread across the US.
