If you are part of an academic society or a professor of any kind, public statements that you do not condone Drexel cutting off the academy of natural sciences from the public of Philadelphia is very important right now. We need your voices. Urgently.

Komander posted on Instagram that one thing he’s taking away from last night is that the way he’s tried to live his life, being kind to others and working hard to perfect his craft has a reward that’s more important than money or stardom. He feels inspired by PAC in yet another way.

While the Trump administration claims to be fighting antisemitism when it allows them to deport Muslim students, the German far-right is now banning new Holocaust memorials. And they're getting their funding from Elon Musk, the same guy funding American Republicans. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/w...

I talked with Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson about how our communities can defend the voting process this November. Some folks reached out and asked me if I could make an episode about this subject because they were tired of simply being told to vote harder and wanted to know what more we could do. ❤️

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

this piece identifies a bunch of genuine issues, but is also extremely meandering and sloppy. at one point the authors claim erin deadnamed someone, and only a few paragraphs later it becomes clear that they weren’t actually able to confirm that. wild move to make in a fact-checking piece.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.

The main takeaway from the interview, for any person with a shred of empathy, was how the circumstances in Grant's life leading up to her meeting Vince made her a prime target for a predator like Vince to seek out and abuse. Not that she "feels forgiveness" for him.
