Hi

How a Professor Turned His Firing Into a Nationwide Fight for Academic Freedom Tom Alter was fired from his tenured job at @txst last fall after speaking at an online socialism conference. He took his case on tour, advancing faculty organizing. bit.ly/4dtLQmC

I’m not ever gonna say how I know this but Mr. Beast is currently filming season 3 of Beast Games in NC and he’s running this season as non-union unlike the first two seasons because he doesn’t wanna pay healthcare or pension. His side has halted negotiations and theres a picket planned if the cheap prick doesn’t come to the negotiating table.

@Tangueray41 @the_blueprint I read the comments looking for this exact response

there used to be an inherent dignity in working that just doesn’t exist now

@HPbasketball Please give Jerry West his due. He is the most underrated player in NBA history IMO.

I'm writing on Harden's place on the all-time shooting guards list so of course I was looking at Wade vs. Kobe, I don't need your thoughts on it, everyone's got their own opinion and tend to think any other opinion is dumb. I DO however think this is an interesting question: which player's MVP-level season was better? Here's Wade 2009 where he only lost because LeBron was a WORLDBREAKER vs. Kobe's 2008. For the record, I have surprisingly decided Bryant has to be second on the all-time list because of total career accomplishiments despite how partial I am to Wade.

Journalist @AbbyMartin of The @EmpireFiles and @adamjohnsonCHI of @CitationsPod break down the media’s complicity in manufacturing the conditions for the illegal US-Israeli war with Iran. therealnews.com/iran-the-war-w…

@blatant_pod Why do you sound like chipmunks

I didn't mean to talk about the Iran war the whole episode, but we definitely did. Tap in and hear the best breakdown of the situation you're going to find anywhere.

@BYE__PASS @BrettSiegelNBA Ringless Elgin Baylor was inducted in 1977

@BrettSiegelNBA HOF gets anybody there now.. flat. Full. Pointless. Back in the day it's just Larry and MJ.. then everyone gets their cause their nice or played forever.. No championships no HOF.

If you don't think CP3 is a Hall of Famer... I really don't know what to say to be honest with you.

GRAPHIC: CBP officers shoot another person in Minneapolis at point-blank range. Footage obtained exclusively by BT shows federal officers on Nicollet Ave. on top of a man on the ground, before one CBP officer pulls his gun and repeatedly fires. Witnesses say that after the shooting CBP then walked down the block filming bystanders. Nothing else is known at this point about what preceded this, the identity of the man shot, or his current condition. FBI agents and an ambulance are at the scene.

The EPA will no longer consider how many lives are saved when setting pollution limits, the New York Times reports. Instead, it will consider the cost to businesses of complying with clean air regulations.

I don't care what newfangled explanations we have for gather steps, stepbacks, what have ya, this is absurd.

In Ep 231, "How To Oppose Genocide Without Opposing Genocide Part 2: AIPAC Dems' Fake Israel Criticisms," we detail the buyers' market for superficial Gaza critiques that permit ambitious Dems to look pro-Palestine without the downside of actually being so soundcloud.com/citationsneede…

For @thenation and @typeinvestigate, I looked into American Landmark, a major landlord filing evictions far more than the national average. I found they are owned by an Israeli company with ties to the IDF, including during the Gaza genocide. (1/10) thenation.com/article/societ…

@KeithSmithNBA I hate it 😭

Not a fan of the way ESPN has changed their NBA box scores.

@EricTopol @ScottGottliebMD @jeremyfaust @PeacockFlu @dr_kkjetelina @sophie_gardnerJ @PeterHotez I don't see how I can continue modeling when access to ED, wastewater, and genomic data has been cut.

GISAID is now blocking genomic sequencing access to critical resources like Nextstrain, Covspectrum, Outbreak.info, & others. This makes us less safe, as live tracking of viral evolution remains critical for assessment of emerging threats. This needs to be escalated.

In this News Brief we detail how the AP, Atlantic, WaPo, NYT are accepting Trump's framing that his attacks on Venezuela and Colombia are about "going after drug cartels" when it's clear they are—based on Trump's own words—about controlling Venezuela's oil soundcloud.com/citationsneede…

In this News Brief, "Media Helps Sell ICE Raids with Zero Dark Thirty Ride-Along Schlock," we discuss NYT, NBC, Fox, CBS and ABC's "embedded reports" of ICE raids that prime the public for brutal crackdowns on undocumented immigrants. with @matthewccook5 soundcloud.com/citationsneede…

🚨 BREAKING: Drop Site’s Ryan Grim reports U.S. officials knew within hours that the Rafah explosion – which Netanyahu used to justify halting all Gaza aid and resuming airstrikes – was actually caused by an Israeli settler bulldozer running over unexploded ordnance, not a Hamas
