Extremely important article.

My friend’s daughter lost her job. She’s been a park ranger for 20+ years and is devoted to the forests she protects. When she lost her job she also lost her home - she didn’t get the little cabin in the forest free, she paid rent. So, jobless, homeless, now living with her parents - she’s 45.

Yikes. Feels like this is going to be a hard sell to the courts, and Harvard has resources to stay afloat for a little while. Still, terrible precedent to set and a huge overreach.

NEW from @joshgerstein.bsky.social: You’ve heard of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now meet the second man erroneously deported to El Salvador in violation of a legal settlement: Daniel Lozano-Camargo. Until now, he’d only been identified by a pseudonym in court. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Genuinely kind of linguistically fascinating to see an entire political tendency adopt the speech patterns of an elderly straggot to signal their devotion

Big news in North Carolina: A federal judge (appointed by Trump) has handed a major loss to Republican Jefferson Griffin, who's trying to overturn November's supreme court race. The judge, Richard Myers, ordered North Carolina's Board of Elections to certify Democratic Justice Allison Riggs's win.

This is absolutely off the rails batshit lawlessness. Tina Peters was properly tried and convicted, with full due process, for committing election fraud to prove the existence of election fraud.

Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no hostage and ceasefire deal is reached by the end of President Trump's trip to the Middle East two weeks from now. My story on @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/05/05/i...

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb.)

This will sound weird but love yourself enough to write your own term papers.

A reminder that debating Stephen Miller — who is not a lawyer and is not making legal arguments, he is spouting propaganda — is a win for him.

Consider under how a more politicized intelligence system will discourage intelligence officials from providing honest analysis

Impressive that a single bum password manages to include two distinct scandals

WKCR's reporting on pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia and Barnard has been exemplary, and it's upsetting to hear that Barnard has been threatening rather than praising these extremely professional student reporters

Chang Chang is a great restaurant. Peter Chang, who opened it, is a legend who worked his way from anonymity as a cook in restaurant kitchens to having multiple restaurants of his own through his hard work.

This is correct. The US will do worse in terms of scientific outcomes, but globally, the rest of the world will be worse off also (with the possible exception of China), even if some countries will be doing comparatively better than the US.

They are against higher ed generally, but obsessed with the Ivy elites because they see such prestige as rightfully theirs.

I’ve said it before but “diversity of thought” is a trojan horse designed to help mainstream unserious crackpots who would be laughed out of any self-respecting graduate seminar. Yaving is only notable because his billionaire backers are even less capable of discerning a good idea than he is.
