A couple of years ago, Cornell did actually ban some students from campus, and banned them for year years... for protesting Israel's actions in Gaza. One of the students suspended was president of Cornell's branch of Jewish Voice for Peace. ithacavoice.org/2024/10/corn...

My school has some confusing web sites, as does every university. But I don't think I've seen anything as obtuse as the interface we currently use to set up accommodation exams with our Office of Disability Services -- it's like someone read a book on best UX practices & decided do the opposite.

ICE IS ABOUT TO MAKE YOUR GROCERY BILL EVEN WORSE Cattle groups in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas say ICE raids are creating a “massive chilling effect” on legal, documented workers, disrupting meatpacking and delaying the processing of thousands of cattle. They’re reporting millions in losses.

ICE now says the Doordash delivery driver was shot because he tried to flee. People need to go to jail. Cops aren’t allowed to shoot people for the simple act of running away.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.
