Cornell made the video. Cornell taught students to intervene. Cornell knew exactly what intervention looked like. Taught the lesson. Neglected the job.

This was never just about Cornell. Different campuses. Different years. Different names. The same problem.

1985. Angela Davis on rape, racism and the anti-rape movement. More than 40 years later, we are still having this conversation. Footage: Angela Davis, “The History of Rape” (1985). Archival records identify the 1985 program as “Angela Davis Speaks on Racism and the Anti-Rape Movement.”

Labor Day is supposed to be about the people who keep this country running. Instead, they’re paying more to get to work, more to bring groceries home, and more for a war they didn’t ask for. Happy Labor Day. Turns out wars aren’t free.

Trump told us he wanted to get rid of mail-in voting. Now USPS has a new system that a whistleblower warns could hold up an entire batch of ballots over a single mismatch. Not. Subtle. Source: Face the Nation / CBS News

Trump is bringing in more foreign beef. Asked which countries it’s coming from: “I don’t want to say.” Meanwhile, nearly 30,000 lbs. of Argentine beef are under recall. Where’s the beef? 🍔

This happened today along the Nepal–Tibet border. A massive glacial collapse sent a wall of water, rock and debris through the valley. At least 160 people are dead. Hundreds remain missing. Watch how quickly everything changes.

They keep telling people to “come legally.” These families did. Immigrant-visa interviews at U.S. embassies & consulates have been paused worldwide while State Department officers undergo new screening training. They followed the rules. The rules stopped them anyway.

The Kennedy Center was created as a living memorial to John F. Kennedy. Now the Justice Department argues that if Trump’s name can’t remain on it, the center could lose critical financial support — and could ultimately face demolition. Kennedy gets the memorial. Trump demands the name.

Trump’s net approval is underwater in 47 of 50 states. Not a typo. 47. Out of 50.

The Supreme Court just removed one legal roadblock to Trump’s proposed mail-voting restrictions. It did not rule the restrictions legal, and another injunction still blocks key parts of the plan. But we are 70 days from the midterms. The rules of an election should not be a moving target.

Ten days without power. Food spoils. Businesses close. Medications become harder to manage. Families are left waiting. The storm explains the outage. Now Gary deserves an explanation.

Gary, Indiana has been without power for NINE DAYS. More than 20,000 customers in Gary still in the dark, and full restoration may not come until August 25. No A/C. No refrigeration. Medical needs at risk. Nine days without electricity in an American city is not an inconvenience. It’s a failure.
