I don't know why this is considered such a radical perspective, but a "news" organization with a list of controversies this long can't be reformed.

The NYT must be abolished, and anyone working there must work towards this end through whatever means they have.

Texas' Big Bend braces for border wall in national park, worrying local Republicans and Democrats Locals say the rugged land is enough of a barrier and they're concerned about the impact on the environment and homeowners as the Department of Homeland Security forges ahead.

I want to do my part in raising awareness. Texas's Big Bend is set to receive new border security infrastructure, including >100 mi of border wall cutting through Big Bend National Park. Kristi Noem just waived 28 environmental protection laws and regulations to expedite this construction. 🧵 1/4

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

AAUP members are rejecting the Commission for Public Higher Education accreditation standards, which threatens to introduce unprecedented partisan influence over universities.

Check out this thread and graphics explaining what is at stake nationally, especially at southern universities⬇️

You can name half a dozen fake right-wing martyrs around their horseshit "issues" like the trans panic and white genocide, and even people who think of themselves as _centrists_ can, too, because of that media control — the TV that's on at the Jiffy Lube waiting room. And they're coming for YouTube.

Couple takeaways:
-more info about GRFP stats on Friday
-NSF plans to hire because they lost too many staff to DRP
-big emphasis on presidential priorities (AI and quantum 'frontiers' in the director's office)
-a lot about reducing bureaucracy, not a ton of justification

They can make up 100% lies, like about daycares, and it becomes the news for *weeks*, and a national priority _even for the left_ because they control MASS media. Meanwhile, what's the name of the kid who punched the ICE asshole? What's the name of the Minneapolis cafe offering free food?

Australia spends $18b more on harming nature than protecting it: Study The Australian government spends more money on activities that harm biodiversity than those that protect biodiversity, a new study suggests. Australia is a biodiversity hotspot, home to more than…

Australia spends far more on activities that harm biodiversity than on protecting it, a new study finds.

Researchers estimate A$26.3B in harmful subsidies — mostly fossil fuels and transport — versus less than A$0.8B for conservation. Reform is key, they say, to meeting global biodiversity targets.

one thing to consider is that in the era of american decline, american dreams will become smaller, meaner, and more meager while still being portrayed as bountiful.

exhortations like this serve as a kind of propaganda to remind citizenry to want less

With the DoD/Anthropic news this week, I can't help but think of my dad, who quit his first programming job back in the '80s, because his employer asked him to write software for weapons systems. I hope the current generation of engineers will have that same spine.

you're so real for saying that honestly.

This reminds me of how AI is inherently anti-worker. If the end goal is the product, and you remove all training/skill from the worker en route to executing that? You’ve effectively robbed the worker (or student) of their own development

he is so real for that

My program & advisor have been wildly forgiving of my mental health episodes to be honest. I just feel very silly getting a degree given the political climate right now. I'm putting myself through all this stress and straining my marriage for what? To be told in a few months that I can't vote? like

There are millions of people who have that stomach. We just need to get them into public office.

Whatever, I guess I'll pop my beta blocker and get back to writing

Like really what am I even doing here? I know fellow scholars who have defended chatGPT written papers and theses and get off scot-free but when I need to sleep post-panic attack over the real degredation of women's rights, trans rights, the rights of nonwhite folk,I am the bad guy

feel incredibly silly to be crying over this PhD at 8:47am when there's an active plot by the ruling party of the US to make sure anyone with a uterus cannot vote in the upcoming elections.

This is very bad. Handing CNN to Bari Weiss/David Ellison is very, very bad.

Arrest them.

Literally was just thinking of this - if you’re part of the “why do I care about trans people getting their license taken away” crowd - you really think they’ll stop there? Are you a woman who likes wearing pants, having a job or a credit card or driving? All of those things had to be fought for…

As noted, Rosen asserted in his email that "[t]he lawyers in my civil division didn't deserve" the supposedly inaccurate January 28 order. Putting aside the fact that the January 28 order was not inaccurate, Rosen failed to mention that this Court said the following in the show-cause order that preceded the January 28 order: The Court expresses its appreciation to attorney Ana Voss and her colleagues [in the civil division], who have struggled mightily to ensure that respondents comply with court orders despite the fact that respondents have failed to provide them with adequate resources. ECF No. 7 at 2 n.1. The judges of this District have been extraordinarily patient with the government attorneys, recognizing that they have been put in an impossible position by Rosen and his superiors in the Department of Justice (leading many of those attorneys- including, unfortunately, Ana Voss- to resign). What those attorneys "didn't deserve" was the Administration sending 3000 ICE agents to Minnesota to detain people without making any provision for handling the hundreds of lawsuits that were sure to follow.

If anything is "beyond the pale," it is ICE's continued violation of the orders of this Court. Increasingly, this Court has had to resort to using the threat of civil contempt to force ICE to comply with orders. The Court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt -again and again and again - to force the United States government to comply with court orders. -5- CASE 0:26-cv-00107-PJS-DLM Doc. 12 Filed 02/26/26 Page 6 of 6 This Court will continue to do whatever is required to protect the rule of law, including, if necessary, moving to the use of criminal contempt. One way or another, ICE will comply with this Court's orders. Dated: February 26, 2026 (s/ Patrick J. Schiltz Patrick J. Schiltz, Chief Judge United States District Court

BREAKING: Judge Patrick Schiltz in Minnesota threatens criminal contempt, if necessary, to address ICE noncompliance in an order calling out U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen's response to Schiltz's earlier questions about noncompliance with court orders.

"ICE will comply with this Court's orders."

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.
