I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

nbcnews.com

After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts

At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

When we stand by and watch blatant, violent, and racist attacks on a child and do nothing, we have to admit that this is who we are. And who we have always been. Meaningful change only takes place when our voices are united against this shit.

We should have a larger convo about how companies like American Eagle use beautiful people to add glamor to unglamorous products. In 2023, a young Bangladeshi woman committed suicide at a factory that made American Eagle clothes bc of abuse. This is the cost of cheap, trendy clothes.

Text says: Suicide and abuse at fashion factory supplying Under Armour and Columbia

INVESTIGATION A young woman allegedly in forced labour at a clothes factory in Jordan killed herself while making products for the global fashion brands, i has discovered

The sportswear giants Under Armour and Columbia have been hit by claims of forced labour in a factory making their clothes, after systemic abuse and exploitation allegedly led to a worker’s death by suicide, i can exclusively reveal.

The two companies have launched urgent inquiries over the death of a young Bangladeshi woman at a major supplier’s facility in Jordan, uncovered by a months-long investigation.

American Eagle, a major retailer with more than 1,000 stores in the US, admitted that it also uses the site and is taking remedial action.

Tureza Akter, 21, died in her dormitory in November last year, just over a month after arriving at the Fine Apparel site in the city of Zarqa, about 10 miles north-east of the capital, Amman. It is run by Needle Craft, a major Jordan-based clothes manufacturing company.

Ms Akter is said to have been fined many times for missing excessive targets. She was abused by a supervisor hours before she died, an official report states.

Sources say that migrant labourers are tricked into “dehumanising” 16-hour days in the factory for less money than promised, while bosses intimidate them and withhold their passports.

Sexual harassment is also said to be common. Members of the largely female workforce are apparently solicited by staff for sex and made to strip in front of managers.

The factory owners have launched an independent review and say they are supporting Ms Akter’s family after her “tragic” death.

i began its investigation after being alerted by Labour Behind the Label. The British campaign group, which lobbies for workers’ rights in the fashion industry, called the findings “horrifying and shameful”.

Confronted with the evidence, the factory and companies it s…

"In 2020, the government pointed to Maxwell’s 'willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct' as a reason to deny her bail. Now, with her entire life in the government’s control, it turns to her as a source of truth. Or, if not truth, a story that can help the president out of this jam."

You would do well to disseminate this at least as much as the Trump tweet. He attacked her to shut up any talk of accountability for his policies. So rather than gaping at his tweet, talk about accountability.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Don't mess with librarians. Today, at Law Dork. And, if you're at the Library of Congress — including the Office of Copyright, Copyright Royalty Board, CRS, Law Library, or elsewhere — and get notice of changes or see something weird happening, reach out via Signal (crg.32) from a non-work phone.

Monday's lesson: Don't mess with librarians.

Ultimately, though, the question with Trump's effort to take over the Library of Congress could come down to whether Congress says, "Don't mess with Congress."
