Not only was Dershowitz cleared of academic fraud by Harvard Law School Dean Elena Kagan (now of the Supreme Court), but he led a lynch campaign culminating in Finkelstein's denial of tenure at DePaul University.

Alan Dershowitz' "The Case for Israel" outright plagiarized a previous work by Joan Peters, and he was publicly humiliated by Norman Finkelstein in a very entertaining episode of Democracy Now.

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel. Now she's a member of HTC. Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

A deadly shooting at the CDC shook its scientists. Now they want answers from RFK Jr.

CDC Director Susan Monarez convened an online all-hands meeting of the agency division that focuses on vaccines, and employees called out Kennedy’s rhetoric specifically.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

The US is arming a literal genocide, has blocked international action against that genocide, and has now started a war with a sovereign nation by bombing some power plants its own intelligence reports are simply power plants - all on behalf of the country committing genocide.

People who never read books now in charge of books.

A social media post featuring two tweets. The first tweet by Anne Applebaum states that every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress, and mentions age restrictions for using the reading room. The second tweet from Acyn quotes a reporter asking why the president fired the Librarian of Congress, followed by a response addressing concerns about actions taken regarding the library and children’s books. The background includes the White House press briefing setting with a lectern and flags.

Racial persecution? In 1913, South Africa passed the Natives Land Act, which forbid Black people from owning or leasing land in white areas. The act designated just 7 percent of farmland for Black people. 93 percent went to white people.

The blue star cluster shining in the center of the Tarantula Nebula—seen in this #NASAWebb image, was born within the ribbons of silk-like dust that surround it. In time, all of this dust will either be blown away by or absorbed into new stars and planets: bit.ly/4bI5Tv5 🔭 🧪

$A star-forming nebula. The nebula is composed of tan-colored clouds with rust-colored highlights, surrounding a black central area containing a bright cluster of sparkling pale blue stars that scatter outward from a densely packed center. The clouds toward the center are brighter than those toward the edge. The bottom left and the top right of the nebula appear more clear of any clouds of dust and gas. One bright yellow star stands out in the central open area, showing off Webb’s eight-pronged diffraction pattern.$

i need some space… and maybe you do too

A massive spiral galaxy fills the image, with its bright yellow core seen near the upper left. Spiral arms whirl outward, laced through with dark brown dust and bright blue patches of star formation.

Angled from the upper left corner to the lower right corner is a cone-shaped orange-red cloud known as Herbig-Haro 49/50. This feature takes up about three-fourths of the length of this angle. The upper left end of this feature has a translucent, rounded end. The conical feature widens slightly from the rounded end at the upper right down to the lower right. Along the cone there are additional rounded edges, like edges of a wave, and intricate foamy-like details, as well as a clearer view of the black background of space. In the upper left, overlapping with the rounded end of Herbig-Haro 49/50, is a background spiral galaxy with a concentrated blue center that fades outward to blend with red spiral arms. The background of space is speckled with some white stars and smaller, more numerous, fainter white galaxies throughout.

$A densely packed cluster of yellow stars shines at the center of the image, with more stars scattered throughout. Clouds of glowing indigo gas and dust dominate the lower half of the view, and a red star with diffraction spikes shines at upper right.$

A nebula made up of cloudy gas and dust in the form of soft and wispy clouds and, in the center, thin and highly detailed layers pressed close together. Large, bright stars surrounded by six long points of light are dotted over the image, as well as some small, point-like stars embedded in the clouds. The clouds are lit up in blue close to the stars; orange colors show clouds that glow in infrared light.

They want to establish now that once sent to a foreign prison, the US can't get you back. That way, when they start sending U.S. citizens there, they will have set the precedent of "too bad, nothing we can do about it." If they bring one back, they can bring them all back. And they don't want that.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.
