Uh the article says "other pilots" landed the plane and only mentions the pilot and co pilot who were the two people involved in the altercation. Are there secretly like 5 pilots on a plane? Or is this whole thing made up?

i dont think people deluded themselves really…they were told by republicans that “mass deportation” was criminals and the media didnt fact check and democrats moved right on the issue there was no alternative offered to mass deportation, no one even argued against it

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

Honestly, something that would immediately improve things for higher ed workers is if somebody started a dedicated news outlet reporting on higher education from a labor perspective. Or if a major paper assigned even just one reporter to focus on higher education labor issues.

Michael Tracey is actively attempting to dox Jane Doe in the Cornell 7 rape case
Michael Tracey : If you happen to know who this Cornell "Jane Doe" is, get in touch and I would be happy to publish her name and identifying information. And yes -- this is 100% permitted under the First Amendment, whatever threats or emotional blackmail people might want to deploy"Report" me for what, exactly? Save your breath, scumbag. Sorry you hate the First Amendment so much. Her identity is obviously newsworthy at this point, and I will take extreme pleasure in reporting it. (Not "doxing" -- that's a total canard)

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

This is the article I most vividly remember. A sympathetic portrait of mothers defending their sons who were “not falsely accused” but “wrongly accused.” They were fighting for impunity for rapists. It ran the week #MeToo went viral.

Whenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far). A consultant class is devouring the Dem Party www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisc...

Underestimate @RahmEmanuel at your own risk.
He knows how to win. He knows how to fight.
And he knows how to message.
And no one will out work him. Regardless of whether he wins the Democratic nomination in 2028 he will make an impact on the race. You can be sure of that. Don't take your eyes off of him. At the minimum, learn from him.
