I've played poker at dozens of casinos in my life, from the fanciest palaces in Las Vegas to crappy riverboats in the Midwest, and I can say that the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City was -- by a fucking mile -- the dirtiest, dingiest, cruddiest casino I have ever experienced in my life.

Records obtained by @americanoversight.org: "The Trump administration reduced training for officers whose departments agreed to help ICE from four weeks of in-person education to 40 hours of virtual training last year as part of a broader effort to expand the agency’s footprint across the nation."
washingtonpost.com
Emails show how ICE trimmed training for deputized officers
Police officers helping ICE arrest unauthorized immigrants were given a shortened training course that scaled back instruction on the nation’s immigration laws.

Keep your eyes peeled for these positions being filled by those who are full send on pumping AI into collections management, exhibition curation, and marketing.
Whatever the approach, history at the Smithsonian has been the responsibility of curators, not presidents. But the Smithsonian is in a particularly vulnerable period. Bunch will retire from his post at the end of the year. Citizen members keep dropping off the Smithsonian's Board of Regents when their terms expire, and their seats are going unfilled, reportedly because the White House is trying to influence the new picks, The New York Times wrote this summer. Museum-director positions are open across the institution too-last week, the director of the National Museum of Natural History announced that he is stepping down-adding to a number of major vacancies. For a president seeking control, a power vacuum and a fraying institution could represent an opportunity.

The Trump family runs the government, and the government pays the Trump family. This is not a coincidence – it's deep corruption that never would have been tolerated before a convicted felon took over the White House. Vote against all Republicans.

The “literacies“ framework is as intellectually bankrupt as polarization right now. We will keep using it because when you’ve got one hammer and the NSF social science funding has dried up everything looks like a nostalgic managerial class nail.

If a guard yanks clothes off a trans woman–to satisfy his curiosity or to mock her–cis women are in danger too. I'm cis. I was misgendered most of my life. In public bathrooms, women screamed for cops. I was almost fag-bashed twice. Abusing any woman opens that door. We're all in this together.

These should be making their way into national ads run by the Democrats. Republicans think this kind of stuff is popular because the groypers think it shows they're "tough". Ads saying "Republicans want ICE to give electric shocks to children" will hit them where they live.

This is incredibly important. I feel deeply that curbing sexual violence will come from raising social expectations of men, not from ‘educating’ them. I fear this is an unpopular view, because people are afraid to face up to the scale of the issue.

The NSF abandoning social science and education researcher is of course a blow to these disciplines, to their universities, and a major barrier to a generation of scholars. It also surrender a large amount of influence over these disciplines to private foundations. Why does they matter?
