Seventeen Portuguese artists say they will boycott Eurovision 2026 if Israel is allowed to participate. They reject complicity in human rights violations and cite UN findings that Israel is committing acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza—asking why Russia was banned but Israel is not.

"Friedberg visited Rhode Island Hospital on Saturday night, where she said she spoke with her teaching assistant, who had traveled there to support several of their injured students." Wow, the TA was present at the shooting and then went with students in the class to hospital to support.

"the most heavily attended class at Brown" and led by a teaching assistant...
At this rate we are going to have to start paying adjuncts danger money.
"Rachel Friedberg, a Brown economics professor, said the mass shooting happened in a review session for the final exam of her Principles of Economics course. She said she learned what happened from a teaching assistant who led the session. Friedberg herself was not present."

"Israel's archaeological community have abandoned core professional principles and ethical standards."

"Each site — the majority of which have no connection to Jewish history [..] — is treated as a potential tool for asserting territorial dominance."

Shopping freeze at Home Depot in Manhattan this afternoon in protest against the company allowing ICE to stage & target people seeking work at Home Depots across the country.

An estimated 300 activists purchased & returned ice scrapers, copying activists in Los Angeles. Ended with a rally outside.

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries.

A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."
I’m sorry but why is the head of cbs news on tv herself

The 0 to 60 charm offensive around Erika Kirk is really something. Six months ago she was the wife of a podcaster, and had little to no public recognition. Now she's a prophetess rubbing elbows with the country's power elite.

I feel like a right-winger frothing at the mouth about the Frankfurt School, but there in fact is a vast international fascist conspiracy that has deeply infiltrated our society and must be extruded root and branch.
And then there’s the story about Alex Karp’s not-at-all-weird interview (for lack of a better word) with Oswald Mosley’s grandson for a senior position at Palantir.

This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.
