Big fan of free speech and academic freedom. Strongly recommend avoiding UNH Franklin Pierce Law until change to less toxic leadership and more positive student treatment. She/her or gender neutral pronouns.

A recent study has found “a gap between corporations' plans to invest in environmental actions and sustainability and the actual development of transition plans.”

Not surprising, but, the truth still matters, even when it confirms what we already suspected.

There is no reason people of good faith cannot figure out a path forward in sports. It's just entertainment. The big problem in women's sports is lack of money. Fixing the money gap would help a lot more women than blocking the participation of any group of people.

“Trump administration officials have expressed confidence that they will continue to win at the Supreme Court — where the president has racked up multiple victories this year. That might make them less concerned with activities in the lower courts.”

They believe they own John Roberts …

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Love it. Public companies are required by law to adopt and publish a code of conduct. Ergo, codes of conduct are meaningless and investors cannot rely on them as truthful statements of corporate policy.
