On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

So ICE agents are getting fired before their probationary periods are up and are having to repay the $50,000 signing bonus. I love this for them.

They even made DoorDash apologize.
DoorDash on Instagram: We messed up.
Our mistakes meant some NYC Dashers were underpaid or paid late. That's unacceptable, and we're deeply sorry to the Dashers we let down.
We've reached a settlement with the City of New York, and we will make this right by paying every impacted Dasher the amounts they are owed.

When I was a kid during the late Cold War, Birchers were a synonym for total political crazy, the epitome of what the GOP had banished from their party to regain credibility with the mainstream. They were just WAY outside the Overton Window. Now these lunatics are running the US government.
