This is a formal request to SCOTUS to forcefully detransition dozens of incarcerated trans people and to subject them to medical experimentation. That's what this is.

I like that the lead story on the NY Times is "ok, we're finally admitting that the Republicans are absolutely fucked this fall" and then just under it is a hopeful little "could this be the election where a Republican finally wins NY governor?" I'm guessing not, guys! Probably not this one!

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.

New calligraphic work: "On Resisting ICE and the DHS" This one is complex enough that I am providing a key to how it's structured, similar to those keys you see that show how a Talmud page is divided up. See the alt for the explanation.

A calligraphy piece made up of Hebrew and English writing of varying sizes and styles. It is black on a cream background. The image forms flt shapes that resemble a shofar blasting out the texts relevant to resisting ICE and DHS.

1. Yellow rectangle - Title/Topic of the daph
2. Teal section - Beware the government authorities (Pirkei Avot 1:10; Bartenura on Avot)
3. Dark red section - On the necessity of loud protest (Mishneh Torah – Fasts, 1:1; Shabbat 54b and 119b; Sanhedrin 20a)
4. Green circular section - Imperative calls for justice (Deuteronomy 16:20; Pirkei Avot 1:14)
5. Orange section - Torah directives for caring for the stranger and resisting unjust action against them (Exodus 1:17, 23:2 and 23:9; Leviticus 19:33; Numbers 35:11; Deuteronomy 23:16)
6. Purple section - On one’s relationship to the community (Pirkei Avot 1:7 and 2:4; Bartenura on Avot; Taanit 11a)
7. Navy blue section - The importance of rescuing the downtrodden at the expense of the wicked (Mishneh Torah – Gifts to the Poor, 8:10; Gittin 61a; Proverbs 11:10, 24:11, and 31:8)
8. Yellow bottom section - There is a season for everything (Ecclesiastes 3)
9. Orange edge - Rashi-style explanation for the acronyms “ICE” and “DHS”
10. Dark teal edge - The importance of action over thought (Avot of R’ Natan 8:5)
11. dark red edge - My Hebrew signature and the date

Ben Shapiro probably does not know enough history to even know this, but the way he is talking about Muslims as a nation within the nation who can never be integrated is almost verbatim what European nationalists said about Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Tweet from Ben Shapiro: "It turns out that importing massive numbers of Muslims from third world countries is a bad idea. Not just because people get beaten in Dearborn for protesting or nearly stabbed in Ceuta for covering the news. But because radical Muslims create voting enclaves in Western countries, then build coalitions with radical Leftists who hate our civilization. Which is what’s about to happen in the Michigan Senate primary tonight.

Today, the Harvard Academic Workers - UAW filed a unfair labor practice charge against Harvard Law School. They've slow walked negotiations for two years while holding back pay increases and bonuses to union members while giving them to non union staff.

Page one of a press release from Harvard Law School Clinicians HAW-UAW, dated July 23, 2026. The headline reads, "Lawyers teaching at Harvard Law file charges against school for labor law violations." The text announces that unionized clinical instructors have filed unfair labor practice charges, alleging the law school is unlawfully penalizing them for unionizing by withholding customary annual bonuses and raises during ongoing contract negotiations. The document includes statements from bargaining committee member Anna Crowe and union organizer Mason Kortz, who criticize the school for failing to adequately invest in the clinical staff despite heavily relying on the prestige of the clinics for fundraising and recruitment.

Page two of the press release from Harvard Law School Clinicians HAW-UAW. The text concludes a quote from Mason Kortz before detailing the union's contention that the law school's actions violate three specific provisions of the National Labor Relations Act: Section 8(a)(5), Section 8(a)(3), and Section 8(a)(1). The release concludes by pointing out the contrast between Harvard Law School's recent record-breaking fundraising year and its decision to "shortchange its own people," calling on the school to make the affected employees whole. At the bottom, the press contact is listed as Anna Crowe, with the email HLSClinicians@gmail.com.
