The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

Racism, transphobia, misogyny, homophobia, ableism. Trump gave MAGA permission to proudly and loudly show all of their hatred and ignorance. This wave of vileness has spread like a plague across this country. We must put an end to all of it. Decency and empathy will prevail.

The CIA-backed coup against Prime Minister Mosaddegh which installed the Shah is also key for understanding why some Iranians invaded the U.S. embassy in 1979 (tragically taking the employees hostage). Many believed the prior coup was planned in the embassy and feared another would happen.

Reminds me of one of my favorite memes:

Five panel meme arranged vertically. The first shows a grey haired mustachioed man saying "socialism never works." The next panel has a younger man wearing a hat saying, "Norway is socialist and they're doing great." The third panel has the mustachioed man apparently yelling, "They're not socialist they're capitalist countries with strong welfare policies." The third panel shows the hatted man throwing a chair and apparently yelling, "then let's adopt those policies!" The final panel has the mustachioed man yelling back, "No, that's socialism."

Identify a process for internally archiving data and projects that are no longer in active use

Identify and implement a process to assign Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) to microdata

Prepare and upload public-facing datasets and restricted-use datasets for external sharing.
