we can learn a lot how Magyar launched “Operation Cleansing Fire” to reform the courts and completely de-orbanize Hungary the funniest things to me though is that 1. this has been an extinction-level event for Fidesz 2. human rights Watch is mad about it for some reason, truly beyond parody

It’s a lesson that if in 2029 or 2033 or ever we get a chance to fix what’s broken, we have to fix it and ignore institutionalist complaining. Cause they will complain.

I wonder if we are going to see early subs pick up - two in the Colombia-Ghana game last night, and now Saibari today. Could just be coincidence but the games are getting closer together and generally hotter.

And now we have reached the stage of conflict where we don't get to sit on our high horse any more. The U.S. military is targeting civilian infrastructure to effect collective punishment. Absolutely disgraceful.

This is such a cool paper, but IMO the coolest part about it is the group that came together to write it. When I first started at @kbslter.bsky.social one of the things I wanted to see happen was more collaboration between KBS, Cedar Creek, and my hometown LTER at Konza. And now this group exists! 🥳

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
Six accounts on Polymarket made around $1 million in profit by betting on the US to strike Iran by Feb. 28, according to analytics firm Bubblemaps SA. The accounts were all freshly created in February and had only ever placed bets on when US strikes might occur. Some of their shares were purchased, in some cases at roughly a dime apiece, hours before the first explosions were reported in Tehran.

Every uni/college that caved proven as craven cowards “…DOE agreed…it will no longer rely on the "Dear Colleague Letter" or its certification requirement, nor will it attempt to enforce or reinstate them under a different name…DOE also agreed not to use their "End DEl" portal or related FAQ doc.”

Read a PDF of our statement here.
Today, the Legal Defense Fund (LDF) announced it reached a settlement on behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
(NAACP) challenging the U.S. Department of Education's anti-opportunity "Dear Colleague Letter," related
"Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQ) document, certification requirement, and EndDEl portal. The lawsuit alleged that the Department sought to prohibit and chill lawful efforts to ensure equal educational opportunities for Black students, and that its guidance rested on a legally flawed interpretation of Title VI and the Equal Protection Clause. Prior on April 24, 2025, LDF and the NAACP successfully secured a preliminary injunction against the certification requirement. The settlement follows the Trump Administration's decision to vacate its appeal in a related challenge.
As part of the settlement, the Education Department agreed that it will no longer rely on the "Dear Colleague Letter" or its certification requirement, nor will it attempt to enforce or reinstate them under a different name. The Department also agreed not to use their "End DEl" portal or related FAQ document. The settlement also preserves the NAACP's preliminary injunction win, which recognized students' right to receive information free from vague prohibitions. The settlement affirms Black students' right to equal opportunity in classrooms and extracurricular activities, including access to inclusive and accurate curricula, selective programs, affinity groups, and policies that foster a sense of belonging.
