But it's not so a President with 34 felonies can ignore court orders and punish cities he doesn't like with military intimidation.
Especially not when the courts are telling him his claims of insurrection are "untethered to the facts."

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

Some critical context about Trump's troops to "war-ravaged Portland" that most folks don't know: Any conflicts there between protesters and ICE agents are happening because ICE agents ARE PROVOKING THEM

The Trump administration is moving aggressively to privatize the VA β arbitrarily laying off employees, lowering the quality of, and limiting access to, health care that veterans receive.
Unacceptable. We must stand with veterans and oppose all efforts to privatize the VA.
That presidential tweet about Tylenol and vaccines is completely crazy. How are there no guardrails??? This is so so dangerous and I need these democrats to stop dicking around and at least vocalize some resistance and sanity. This is beyond.

English is widely used as a lingua franca in scholarly communication, yet preserving local languages is vital to reaching a broader audience. Disseminating research in multiple languages can help ensure equitable access, a responsibility shared by both publishers and authors. This study examines the practices of both groups to identify any notable differences. Several academic social networks, preprint servers and repositories are analysed to evaluate the resources currently available and their existing policies. Additionally, journals that actively promote multilingual dissemination are reviewed to understand their implementation strategies and how these align with the standards set by their DOI Registration Agency (DOI RA). From the authorβs perspective, differing policies across platforms can heavily influence decisions, mainly because not all platforms provide relationship metadata. Publishers face similar challenges, underscoring the urgent need for standardization. Moreover, the lack of consistency creates opportunities for unethical practices in academia, such as counting the total of citations originating from the same article in different languages. This highlights the importance of a more comprehensive approach to evaluating research beyond citation and document counts. Collaboration among publishers, authors and other stakeholders is essential to fostering greater understanding and preventing misconceptions in the academic landscape.
