George Santos is a convicted liar and fraud, so Trump had to free him out of professional courtesy

NEW: A huge ice sculpture of the word β€œDEMOCRACY” is currently melting away in front of the US Capitol.

Organized by artists and activists, it was commissioned by the Up In Arms campaign, an effort led by Ben Cohen, the cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Office of the President
Dear Dartmouth community,
 
As many of you know, Dartmouth was one of nine universities asked by the White House to give feedback by Oct. 20 on a draft of its β€œCompact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.” 
 
I am deeply committed to Dartmouth’s academic mission and values and will always defend our fierce independence. 
 
You have often heard me say that higher education is not perfect and that we can do better. At the same time, we will never compromise our academic freedom and our ability to govern ourselves. 
 
Best,
Sian Leah Beilock
President

It appears that my employer, Dartmouth, one of the Trump 9, has said no to the compact. All the better given that our president is cited within it. But she’s saying no. Count the small victories when they come.

Kinda wild Apple will kick ICEBlock out of the App Store on safety grounds but the Saudi government app that lets men track women (their β€œproperty”) and control their travel is fully allowed even after the Human Rights Watch AND members of the Senate begged them to ban it.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

We are remembering two different Charlie Kirks The way we see Charlie Kirk, his life and death, and indeed, nearly everything, is determined less by the facts than by our personal paradigms. Less by the truth than by our algorithms. This past w…

We can especially try to remain aware that our algorithm fundamentally shapes our understanding of reality, and there may be things we’re missing.

We can admire the good aspects of Charlie Kirk and emulate them. We can fairly judge the bad aspects and strive to overcome them in our own lives.

Trump is Getting Desperate We're in an extremely dangerous moment

Trump is Getting Desperate per Paul Krugman. The Orange fascist is pulling out all the stops due to his cratering poll numbers.

Paul Krugman, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for Economics in 2008 & formally left The NY Times because they wouldn't guarantee to carry his weekly newsletter every week.
