Screenshot of social media post Shammas Malik Posted by Shammas Malik Just now • ... Last night, President Trump used his Thanksgiving post on Truth Social to call Minnesota Governor Tim Walz "seriously retarded" and make fun of Rep. Ilhan Omar for being "always wrapped in her swaddling hijab."This week, he's referred to reporters as "ugly," "stupid, and "piggy.” I know we've been witnessing this stuff for a decade now, but I think it's still worth pointing out that this behavior is unacceptable from the leader of our country. We wouldn't tolerate it from a friend, a colleague, or a child. The President thinks his insults make him look tough and strong. I'm not worried about folks with developmental disabilities or women who wear hijab or other groups who get made fun of by this man - these folks deserve our full support but honestly they have to deal with way tougher stuff than this daily. What I am worried about is the example this guy is setting for millions of people every day, for a decade now - and with each post, character and basic decency matter less and less. Whether your politics are liberal, conservative, moderate or anything else - we all deserve better.

• Permanently close all pending Investigations, compliance reviews or inquiries by the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division regarding Northwestern's compliance with Title VI's prohibition against discrimination based on race in admissions. The University has not been found in violation of any laws and expressly denies liability regarding all allegations in the now-closed investigations. Among the provisions the University agrees to: • Pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years. As stated in the agreement, the payment is not an admission of guilt, but simply a condition of the agreement. • Establish a special committee of the Board of Trustees to ensure compliance with the agreement and have the President and the Chair of the Board certify quarterly the University's compliance with the agreement. • Continue compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws. The University already complies with the U.S. Supreme Court decision prohibiting the consideration of race in admissions decisions and has agreed to provide anonymized statistical admissions data to the government, demonstrating our ongoing compliance. • Adhere to federal Title IX "by providing safe and fair opportunities for women, including single-sex housing for any woman, defined on the basis of sex, who requests such accommodations and all-female sports, locker rooms and showering facilities." • Terminate the 2024 Deering Meadow agreement. • Finally, we reaffirm our commitment to the steps the University has taken to protect Jewish members of our community. As outlined in our most recent progress report, reports of discrimination or harassment based on antisemitism have declined since Northwestern rolled out and enforced significant policy changes. We will continue to do whatever we can to ensure that our campuses are safe for every member of the Northwestern community. I know you will have many questions about this agreement. Again, I encourage you to read the full agreement, which you can find here. A full list of Frequently Asked Questions and answers can be found here, which also includes a short video from me answering the most common questions. The University's partnership with the federal government began more than a century ago in 1910, when Northwestern became one of the very first schools in America to receive federal funding, a grant from the U.S. Public Health Service for a study on tuberculosis. In the years since, federal research funding has become a vital part of our University, fueling breakthroughs that have helped our nation establish and maintain innovation leadership and make our federal and higher education partnership the envy of the world. This agreement enables this important partnership to continue. We must now refocus on what matters most: advancing our mission, upholding the highest standards of academic and institutional excellence, and empowering students and scholars to drive change in the world through research and innovation.

Food "I remember telling our CEO, "Hey, this plant in seven weeks is going to have 880 people infected and we're going to shut that plant down," said Spradley. "So that day hit. 883 people were infected because we were driving prediction with Palantir." Though Tyson had the technology to forecast infections, the company didn't use this data to heighten protections among workers in advance of projected outbreaks at its meatpacking plants, at least none that were made public. Instead, this software was largely used to protect Tyson, ensuring that infections among workers didn't disrupt the company's intricate supply chain. By forecasting worker infections, Tyson could plan in advance for irregular inventories from plant closures and labor shortages, as Spradley explained: "This plant's going to go down, so we need to start shifting product to this place."

Threads screenshot malukanoa 13h Your reminder: The Democratic Party is not democratic. It doesn't represent the left; it represents the maintenance of the empire. Its job is to catch the fire of uprisings, smother it in committees, and hand it back as slogans. It could've enshrined abortion rights, civil rights, voting rights into law - but it didn't. Because its function isn't liberation, it's management: capitalism's babysitter, white supremacy's middleman, the two-party system's bodyguard.

Jennifer Wolff, who left New York in 2021 for Connecticut but still maintains a deep interest in the city's politics, is Jewish and a registered Democrat but said in an interview that she doesn't "even know what party I'm affiliated with anymore." She helped organize regular marches in her town for the Israeli hostages. She said that what Mamdani represents to her is "a microcosm of what's going on in the rest of the world, and once New York turns in this direction, it is indicative of how frightening it is to be a Jew right now." She said the amount of vitriol directed at Jews after Hamas's attack on Israel was astonishing to her, and she has been urging friends in New York — on social media and in conversations - to vote for Cuomo, even though she blames him for her father's covid-19 death in a nursing home.

CNN also spoke with an acquaintance of Platner from more than a decade ago who said Platner spoke about his tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol. A second person told CNN that they learned of the tattoo years ago from the acquaintance, who told them that Platner had described it as a Nazi-style design. CNN also reviewed a text chain between the acquaintance and another person discussing Platner's Nazi-like tattoo several months ago, before the story became public. When commenters in the 2020 thread described the dightning bolts as a Nazi or racist symbol, Platner dismissed the criticism, writing that outsiders "have no idea what they're talking about" and added, "I will be sure to inform the Black guys I know with bolts that they're Nazis now.” Copies of the threads were archived through the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine and on a separate Reddit archiving website.
