Wtaf is this question my university just asked me about my project?
Does the project involve any work that could be interpreted as promoting DEIA, climate change research, or non-compliant to any Presidential Executive Orders?

Pogroms are not spontaneous protests. They are organized and planned campaigns of violence. Neglecting this fact makes it much harder to deal with.

As a writer, your ear is your most important attribute. Language is music, has its own rhythm, meter, lilt, flow. When I edit my own work it's to get it to sound right.

I say AGAIN: #AviLewis is speaking my language. There is a choice beyond the Conservative #Poilievre & the conservative-in-all-but-name #MarkCarney. There's far worse things than a #LiberalMinority with #NDP as #OfficialOpposition, in fact, that's how we got #UniversalHealthcare. #cdnpoli #abpoli
Avi Lewis post reads: “PM Carney seems ready to suspend environmental regulation in Canada under the illusion that he can buy political peace with Danielle Smith (ie the oil industry).
The benefits will be real: for a handful of companies with already-bloated profits.
The costs will be real too: a rising tide of economic and ecological disaster that sinks all boats.”

Public housing is every bit as much a federal responsibility as a provincial one. The federal government used to directly fund and build public housing until they downloaded it to the provinces in the 1990’s.

elon musk spends two-thirds of his time spreading racist pseudoscience and hating trans people and here is Ezra Klein in 2026 saying Musk is relentlessly focused on the only things that matter to him: EVs and going to Mars. I'm sorry but the guy's just very very dim
What I find laudable in Elon Musk, amid the many things I find not laudable in him, is the relentlessness with which he tries to achieve his goals. That guy believes in getting us to Mars and creating an electric vehicle transition and all the rest of it, and nothing else matters to him. He tries to create organizations that run through walls, and he actually does make tremendous things happen in the world.

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.
Replying to 
@JenniferJJacobs
The shooting happened on the level above the ballroom where the White House Correspondents Association dinner was. 
I don't think people hearing about this -- or even those of us in the room -- realized how far from the president, VP and other guests this incident was. It was on another floor, up some stairs and several sets of security away. 
Because the Washington Hilton's hotel and other public spaces were open for other functions, the entire building wasn't secured by the Secret Service, just the specific areas where the WHCA dinner was held, law enforcement officials told @CBSNews

But you'll never get articles about how the Republican Party needs to move to the left and adopt more mainstream positions on transgender issues because that isn't something that animates the dozen or so individuals setting the agenda the way the reverse does.
