The US Naval Academy plans to remove books from its library, including “The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr." and a biography on Jackie Robinson to comply with anti-DEI orders. No university library should be forced to remove books because a politician doesn't like them.

Academics fleeing the country because their political views or research topics offend high government officials is the biggest, flashing, neon red flag anyone can imagine. But of course, we wouldn't be here if T47 was worried how media and corporate power would respond to his plans.

if you think this violates the law (and it very clearly does imo), you don't seek an injunction, you seek an indictment, given that the law makes it a class 1 felony. cowardice from the AG, cowardice from the courts, nobody wants the responsibility of actually enforcing the law. cowards all around

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

The White House is saying the information shared in the Signal group chat was “not classified.” They’re lying. Those who’ve served in uniform know it would’ve been classified. We’re calling for an investigation and accountability.

Witkoff was a fool for joining that chat from Moscow. But the entire charlatan national security team also chose to put him on that chat when they knew (or should have known) that he was in Moscow. A spy novel based on this level of cretinous behavior would be unbelievable.
