The “states’ rights” people in the past knew it was bullshit back then too, because slaver states wouldn’t let free states pass laws protecting self-emancipated people within their borders.

yet the lack of training wasn't the issue here, so why are we bringing it up.
Van Houten told NPR member station WSKG in an interview that Doe's statement was taken by "an experienced investigator" trained in sexual abuse investigations "over an extended period of time." Cornell University Police did not respond to questions about details of the length, time and place of the interview or other details of the manner of questioning before publication.

This is so pathetic. "Training." Like they're just trying so hard to help us but can't because they don't know the right way. Policing is a malicious institution, and pretending otherwise won't change anyone's mind.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

Everyone keeps reaching for the “too big to fail” button because it is fundamentally harder for them to imagine what happens if it’s too big to succeed. The unique conditions in play make a bailout impossible. This is also an ideological bubble to the point I think it creates a schism in society.

Anthropic researcher coxon looking all of twelve years old“The people that say AI is going to destroy the World, and that Data Centers are bad for your neighborhood, are the same people that said, just a short time ago, that the World would be extinguished by ‘Climate Change.’ That HOAX never worked out for them, and now they're on to the next one. These people are Revolutionaries, but Revolutionaries for a Bad and Evil Cause. Soon you'll find out they're working for people that do not have the best interests of the United States in mind!”

The second panel zooms in on the man's face. He says, "I'm sorry. I'm just so nervous."
In panel three we see that a biblically accurate angel is sitting on the other side of the table.
In panel four we zoom in on the angel's face, who says "BE NOT AFRAID".

A district court judge says America must admit and keep foreigners who hate America and hate Americans. Court-ordered civilizational suicide. It will not stand.
Came POLITICO 3 @politico.15h
Judge declares Rubio's speech-based student deportations violate the ConstitutionNorthern District of California Judge Noël Wise, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, sided with the Stanford Daily, which sued Secretary of State Marco Rubio, arguing that his use of the Immigration and Nationality Act to deport noncitizen students had foreign students refraining from writing opinion pieces critical of the administration."In the United States, freedom of speech belongs to the people," Wise wrote in her opinion. "It is not the government's to take."
Another plaintiff was an unnamed woman who is a lawful noncitizen in the U.S. who was previously in the country on a student visa at a school that was not Stanford and "has refrained from publishing
and voicing her true opinions regarding Palestine and Israel and has deleted a social media account to guard against retaliation for past expression," according to court documents.A State Department spokesperson, given anonymity to discuss internal thought processes within the agency, told POLITICO that the U.S. "is under no obligation to admit or suffer the presence of individuals who subvert our laws and deny our citizens their Constitutional rights."
"More broadly, the Department of State is committed to protecting our nation and its citizens by upholding the highest standards of national security and public safety through our visa process," the spokesperson said. "A visa is a privilege, not a right."
The ruling comes after the administration's campaign last year to revoke visas and seek the deportations of foreign students involved in the pro-Palestinian movement. Among those subjected to deportation proceedings were Columbia University activists Mahmoud Khalil and Mohsen Mahdawi, Tufts University doctoral grad Rümeysa Oztürk and Georgetown University scholar Badar
Khan Suri.
