My best friend who watches Maddow just called to tell me that she landed the plane and plainly stated that the US is currently being ruled by a consolidating authoritarian regime. Not that it is 'descending into' etc etc but that it is here. Maybe this will move more liberals to say the same.

Want to get back at that prof who gave you an A- on an exam? Or maybe you don't think people of color or women should be professors?

Make up a story about antisemitism, plop it into an anonymous student evaluation, and watch as your prof's life is upturned faster than you can spell "fascism."

Hmm. Apparently, vaccines were not a great suggestion because respirators are more effective, so I got blocked πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. For anyone interested, here is the link to the Nature article in the OP.

Covid caused a spike in deaths attributed to breast cancer. This research suggests all respiratory viruses, including flu, can cause swift resurgence of dormant breast cancer cells. GET YOUR SHOTS. Herd immunity so important for so many reasons and so many people.

when I confessed many years ago to some Naomi confusion on FB, the outpouring/discussion was so intense that I reposted the memory annually. And then Klein wrote a whole dang book about it!

The AUKUS deal ties Australia closer to an increasingly volatile and aggressive America.

When over two thirds of Australians supporting a Parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS, we should take this chance to escape this disastrous AUKUS deal.

I remember when they were doing everything possible to muddy the waters around whether Israel had bombed a hospital and now we’re at β€œmurder starving people in the open with bullets”

It was a genocide then too

The current administration's systematic dismantling of our research infrastructureβ€”402 documented attacks in just 6 monthsβ€”represents more than policy disagreement. It's an abandonment of the principle that knowledge should serve the common good and expand opportunity for all communities.

Jenkel was scheduled to be deported from Canada this month. But a Federal Court judge issued a stay of removal, arguing the immigration officer who examined their case failed to take into account their role in caring for their fiancΓ©, or the "current conditions for LGBTQ, non-binary and transgender persons" in the U.S.

Advocates for 2SLGBTQ+ migrants say this could set a precedent for other cases like Jenkel's, and help change the way Canada's immigration system deals with applications from the U.S.

A Canadian judge has denied the deportation of a US trans person who overstayed their visa in large part because of the unsafe conditions for trans people in the United States.

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates β€œlike dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities.

The incident at the downtown federal detention center is one of a succession of alleged abuses at Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (Ice) operated jails in the state since January, chronicled by advocacy groups Human Rights Watch, Americans for Immigrant Justice, and Sanctuary of the South from interviews with detainees.

These ICE officials need to go straight to The Hague.
