Trump just revoked the ability for foreign students to enroll at Harvard. Every foreign student, which is in the thousands, enrolled for next year at Harvard will not be able to continue studying if this isn't challenged in court. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

I wrote something for @thenation.com about Alabama PHd student Alireza Doroudi's abduction at the behest of Marco Rubio. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Alabama Won't Say Alireza Doroudi's Name. We Must.
The Iranian Ph.D. student is one of several abducted by ICE in the past month—a pattern we cannot become numb to.

The most serious Nazi shit in this extremely Nazi shit executive order may be the idea, just slipped in there, that one of the "divisive narratives that distort our shared history" is that "race is not a biological reality but a social construct." www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This is one of the best statements in the legislature in a very, very long time. It has the added benefit of being 100% accurate. Well worth your time. Thanks, David.

Danielle Smith claims flying to Florida to pose with Ben Shapiro is “going into the lion’s den”. The truth is, it’s a trip to a Republican safe space, a far-right fundraiser & more about pumping the Premier’s ego than promoting Alberta. Albertans shouldn’t be on the hook to pay for it. #ableg

It means looking beyond public persuasion (appealing to Americans directly through billboards or Fox News appearances). It also means looking at non-tariff threats that impact the president and his entourage directly.

For all of these reasons (and more), countries like Canada are recalibrating their US foreign policy. This will require sharp minds and both intergovernmental and international coordination.

IDF purposely, permanently, damaging surgeons' hands; threatening to murder family members, to force a false 'confession'. This kind of torture & state-based terrorism characterized the Argentinian "Dirty War" 73-84, now in Gaza '24-25. 🇵🇸 #Genocide #WarCrimes www.democracynow.org/2025/3/13/un...
Screenshot from the transcript of an interview with Dr Mark Perlmutter, full transcript is at the link in the skeet.

 In this section of the transcript, Dr Pearlmutter describes a colleague, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon who was abducted from the operating room in February of 2024 and has only recently been released. When he was arrested, he was strip searched, marched naked in front of his colleagues, beaten on a daily basis while in Israeli prison, beaten more intensely when he asked to speak to a lawyer, and even more intensely after he spoke to his lawyer. He had his fingers broken and his hand -- while in handcuffs the guards would step on his handcuffs to torque them into the nerves of his hand ruining the nerves in his operative hands".

We will not stand idly by: Free Mahmoud Khalil! Jewish Voice for Peace demands the Trump administration release Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil from ICE detention. The detention of Mahmoud is further proof that we are on the brink of a full takeover by a repressive, authoritarian regime.

Health-care workers should not be a target. In Gaza, their detention and death affect the entire population

Thanks to @bradvivian.bsky.social for this history of "institutional neutrality," which shows that many of the same conservative think tanks now cheering on anti-CRT and DEI bans drove the push to silence universities on charged questions. www.chronicle.com/article/inst...

Institutional Neutrality Is Censorship by Another Name

This is astounding. It shows Albertans paid double - sometimes triple! - for surgeries at private surgical facilities connected to friends of the UCP than through AHS. And the Premier’s staff & Health Minister allegedly pressured & then fired the CEO of AHS when she asked questions about them.

Lagrange confirmed that for months, she knew about serious allegations about contracting irregularities as raised by the AHS CEO. She says she did not tell the premier because she didn't have all the facts.
