It details her life, from being a German Jew and doctor of philosophy to becoming a Carmelite nun. She worked on the works of St. John of the Cross and studied the situation of Jewish citizens in the Netherlands during World War II. Edith was eventually arrested and sent to Auschwitz, perishing there in 1942. Pope John Paul II beatified her in 1987 and canonized her in 1998. She became one of the six patron saints of Europe a year later.

Common Cause just told a federal judge that Trump's taxpayer funded propaganda ads ran hundreds of times after a TRO ordered an immediate halt to them. The two-page notice buff.ly/u2GESdN
1. On October 12, at 1:31 p.m. Eastern, the Washington Post reported that two ads continued airing after the Court issued the Order and into the early hours of
Monday, October 12, on multiple programs, including “60 Minutes,” “ABC World News Tonight,” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” Ex. A.
2. According to AdImpact data retrieved at 2:45 p.m. Eastern today, Defendants’ ads ran in nearly 400 spots on programs that began airing at 7 p.m. Eastern last
night—that is, after this Court’s order was in effect. Ex. B.
3. Specifically, “Final Battle” ran in 193 spots during “60 Minutes,” which aired on CBS starting at 7 p.m. Eastern. Ex. B.
4. And “Maduro” ran in 198 spots during “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” which aired on ABC starting at 7 p.m. Eastern. Ex. B.

After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
In other professors’ syllabi, the bot flagged the Pulitzer Prize–winning play Angels in America by Tony Kushner, essays by the Mexican American MacArthur genius grant recipient Sandra Cisneros, and materials related to a class about the Holocaust (that professor was told to drop material regarding Nazi persecution of LGBTQ people).

Putting aside the ideological slant of the new rules, the bot, like many large language models, seems to “hallucinate,” or make mistakes. The AAUP lawsuit lists texts banned for their “sex-based ecofeminist framework” and “gendered ecofeminist frameworks.” These phrases might sound persuasively like academese, but the academics behind the lawsuit had never heard of them; these concepts “do not exist,” the complaint says. Matthew Pehl, a history professor at Tech, told me that he knew several people who’d received reports from the system that were “plainly written by an AI that had hallucinated content or confused content from one class to another.”
