This is the Opus Dei court just a few months ago. But you can count on it: they won't find this rule applied when the FCC commissioner threatens to revoke a broadcasting license unless a comedian is fired. In fact they won't find this rule applies to Trump. It's just a constraint for Democrats.

66 people were killed and 345 wounded by the IDF over the past 24 hours, including 15 trying to obtain humanitarian aid, and several children after strikes on schools. 11 Palestinians were killed in an airstrike on a bakery. Images from the scene show bodies scattered alongside loaves of bread.

Just learned from LinkedIn that a Heritage Foundation affiliate is now FOIA-ing (or equivalent) instructors’ syllabi to go snooping for supposed illegal DEI at state universities. It’s hard to describe how far past McCarthyism we’re headed here.

In the aftermath of the Cold War, neoliberals sought an antidote to the social movements that had suffused popular consciousness. They found one in hierarchies of gender, race, and cultural difference, which they imagined to be rooted in genetics as well as tradition.
