The French police are so militarized they blew up a 15-yr-old’s hand and took the eye of another one. Why are grenades being used to quell student protestors who are unarmed? Now the labour unions are stepping in to protect the students

French students' response to the cuts, cuts, cuts mentality that has taken over the world as the richest get to be "more richest" and our public systems for education, transportation, and healthcare crumble. They won't be ignored. Cuts are not the solution to the problem, cuts are the problem.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

We just spent two hours on hold with the IRS, but the hold music was not abrasive and we were finally connected with a dedicated, competent, and friendly federal employee who resolved our issue in a few minutes. We look forward to a future in which everyone can have this, minus the two hour wait.

These cuts will leave 760,000 working people without healthcare. That’s on top of the millions of Americans already going without healthcare because of rising costs and cuts to care in the Big Beautiful Bill. This does nothing to address affordability. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

There’s more to be said about the relationship between Pinker-style stardom and the state of academia. Not because academia is Woke, but because star systems loosen rigor at the top while solid scholarship becomes a dead end lower down. Shoddy celebrities and broke PhDs proceed from the same machine

The Vanderbilt Report complex perfectly encapsulates this phenomenon: academic celebrities attacking solid scholarship by completely misrepresenting it, and then blaming scholarship for academia’s demise.
