She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Listened to a good talk about incorporating animals into historical narratives and arguments, giving some examples from US history. First question, a guy spent several minutes asking why the speaker hadn't discussed "the genocide of the passenger pigeon"

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our cityβ€”and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

I like to quickly check quotes that sound too perfect. But sometimes, someone just says the absolutely right thing.

I'm glad the author had this experience, and find it an interesting read...think mileage may vary semester to semester though!

Finally, the balance of equities and public interest favor a stay. The Government does not
cite any reason termination must occur post haste. Secretary Noem complains of strains
unlawful immigrants place on our immigration-enforcement system. Her answer? Turn 352,959
lawful immigrants into unlawful immigrants overnight. She complains of strains to our
economy. Her answer? Turn employed lawful immigrants who contribute billions in taxes into
the legally unemployable. She complains of strains to our healthcare system. Her answer? Turn
the insured into the uninsured. This approach is many thingsβ€”in the public interest is not one of
them
