A ‘town square for the arts and humanities’: The new Princeton University Art Museum shares opening details After previews for students, members, faculty and staff, the museum will open its doors to all — with free admission, as always — starting with a 24-hour public opening from 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, to...

"The new museum was designed to be a kind of town square for the arts and humanities, a place of coming together."

The Princeton University Art Museum's doors are now open, beginning with a 24-hour Open House event featuring collections tours, movie screenings, artmaking and more.

"Vote for the murderer" is the most insane, most absurd closing message I can think of.

Why Has Trump Been Flirting With a Third Term? Trump cannot be president again. But he and his loyal followers have every reason for wanting to make people think he can.

"Can Donald Trump run for a 3rd term?"
No.
"What if he..."
Still no.
"How about..."
STFU, No.
"Then why are we talking about it!?"
Because evil MAGA apparatchiks need you to fear that he will.

a trans girl in college committed suicide days ago amid discrimination against her easily tied to this administration’s policies. npr and other media should cover that too

This mismatch is not just a technicality. It suggests that DOJ issued the subpoena first and searched for a justification second. No legitimate investigation would demand thousands of patient records from an entity that cannot, by definition, commit the violations being investigated. DOJ’s inability to articulate why it is investigating QueerDoc specifically—beyond noting it is a “prominent” Case 2:25-mc-00042-JNW Document 27 Filed 10/27/25 Page 13 of 16 ORDER - 14 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 provider—confirms that QueerDoc was targeted for what it does (provide genderaffirming care) rather than how it does it (through any unlawful means).2

Here's an important one that slipped by on Monday.

Fed. judge quashes DOJ subpoena seeking the personal health data of trans patients as "prosecutorial coercion" and "for an improper purpose," namely, intimidating trans people and their medical providers.

This is next level authoritarianism.👇

"Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) this week placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they wrote in a court filing that on Jan. 6, 2021, “thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol,” a source familiar with the personnel moves told Democracy Docket.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same
