Comedian Stephen Colbert signs off Thursday on the final broadcast of “The Late Show,” following his 11-year run on CBS. The show's cancellation comes amid speculation that the billionaire Ellisons — owners of CBS parent company Paramount — are currying favor with the Trump administration.

BERNIE: “Massie was defeated by $9 Million from AIPAC + $7 million from Trump mega-donors — his crime was opposing the war in Iran Americans oppose, pushing to release the Epstein files, and not being a rubber stamp for Trump.”

Katalin Karikó is one of the most extraordinary scientific stories of this era. A girl from a modest Hungarian household helped develop technology that saved millions of lives worldwide. In 2023, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discoveries that enabled effective mRNA vaccines.
SHE WAS DEMOTED, UNDERPAID, AND IGNORED FOR 40 YEARS. HER
UNIVERSITY TOLD HER MRNA RESEARCH WAS WORTHLESS. HER COLLEAGUES STOPPED TAKING HER SERIOUSLY. SHE EARNED $50,000 A YEAR FOR FOUR DECADES. THEN COVID ARRIVED - AND, SHE WON THE NOBEL PRIZE.

This graduation season, schools across the U.S. have continued their attempts to silence pro-Palestine speech. Rutgers professor Noura Erakat says repression of Palestine protest only spreads outwards. "We are the Trojan horse to bring in these policies that will affect everyone."

Mohammad Nahleh's writing is mind-bogglingly good:
Before lifting even a single stone, my cousins summoned the sheikh. Dusk arrived with precision, its timing not incidental but necessary, blunting the harsh contours of ruin and signaling the beginning of cleansing. The sheikh walked the length of the house, stepping carefully over shrapnel, past piles of waste, past stains that would take weeks to scrub away. He did not touch anything, did not move what had been broken or displaced. His voice rose into the walls, amplified by the thickening darkness, filling spaces where soldiers had settled. He recited verses meant to drive out the lingering residues of their failed occupation. Where they had mapped conquest, he mapped return. Every room, every doorway, every shadowed corner was named and restored, enacting what M. Jacqui Alexander describes in Pedagogies of Crossing as a dimension of spiritual labor that renders the sacred and the disembodied palpable and tangible.3 To name the house anew was to re-situate it within a spiritual jurisdiction unrecognizable to colonial cartographies. Then they turned to the trees, carrying water as if approaching old friends. The trees had been there long before the house, had witnessed war and return, had bent under the weight of airstrikes, and had held their ground even as fire licked their branches. Some were charred, some snapped in half, some stripped bare. One by one, they watered them, not out of necessity but out of reverence. As always, they tended to them in darkness, when the night loosened the grip of the sun, when the soil could absorb rather than resist, when the land itself, weary yet waiting, was most receptive to repair. They placed their hands on the trunks, whispered apologies, and asked forgiveness. In this quiet exchange, the night did not merely conceal; it enabled. It dulled the imperial eye and sharpened their own, allowing a different kind of labor to emerge—one grounded in what darkness makes possible, not as metaphor but as method.
