For people who need numbers, this is as good a definition of tyranny and authoritarianism as we could ask for.

12 FTE positions in the subject will be eliminated, and the students and communities of Nebraska will be worse off for losing these amazing experts.
If your institution is looking to hire faculty at any career stage, you could benefit from the terrible decision that UNL administration has made.

There's nothing in her statement about what's coming next. I do hope her lawyer, the @miamiherald.com , and her Rep (and maybe a more friendly Rep like @frost.house.gov ) are looking into how it's possible for the same U.S. citizen to be targeted and harassed 3 separate times by her own government.

100%, yet there's something else going on, as this was the 3rd time she was stopped. That's not random. She must be on a list that ICE doesn't update or just uses to harass easy targets to hit quotas? Disturbing -- and illegal -- in every way.
Dems & media should demand to see their procedures.

Dems want my money? Fine.
$1000 to the first Dem to go on a Sunday show and use their WHOLE segment to pointedly accuse the host, the show staff, & the network of platforming obvious lies, being goddamn cowards, and totally WHIFFING ON THE BIGGEST STORY in U.S. history in 25 (if not 250) years.

Even in T1 there were serious suggestions like "If we just give him $1B, can we get him to resign?"
So as grotesque as this is, in some ways it's a missed opportunity. E.g. could FIFA have asked for a fair outcome in Ukraine? But no, they just want special treatment for themselves. FIFA gonna FIFA.

Understanding their process is important to effectively resist it. I'm not doubting her. Nobody gets stopped 3 times by chance. Either they're harassing her (to make the quota?) or they were looking for her again because she's on some list, w/o checking their own records. I don't get it.

Thanks for posting this. What I'd like to know:
- When was this investigation done? The height & cell tower analysis is described as from 2021.
- If this was done by Biden's FBI, why did they NOT act on it?
- Is KP taking credit for work by others?
- If this was only done in 2025, wtf Biden FBI?

3-8 ( #Princeton 58 - Monmouth 63)
Oy. Davis still out with a sprained ankle. We've lost 5 straight, the last 4 by a total of 16 points. We're in every game despite the short, young bench, but legs do tire. Good news: The real season doesn't start till Jan, and the Frosh still have Dec to grow.

I could really use a roster -- name and affiliation -- of the sycophants.

He basically said so in a 2016 debate. Paraphrasing:
Clinton: He cheats on his taxes.
T: That makes me smart.
IOW: Everyone who's anyone cheats. Playing by the rules is for suckers.

Some good ideas I've heard:
1. Shadow cabinet ASAP
2. DAILY press briefs to expose and rebut, by our best talkers (@petebuttigieg.bsky.social )
3. 2026 campaign starts now: Persuade, WIN VOTES, and run through the tape.
4. @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social get busy in back rooms.

If Congress wasn’t going to protest when Trump seized their constitutional power of the purse; or purged FBI agents, disease trackers, nuclear inspectors; or infiltrated the Treasury payments system; or waged assaults on free speech and religious liberty…

Problem 2: PERCEIVED cost increases are usually enough to kill a code change proposal.
Prob 3: Even with support for a code change, climate info is changing faster than codes & standards can update.
Prob 4 (I can go on): New work is still small compared with the existing built environment.

Yes & No. Leading design pros DO follow new info about how climate change translates to design criteria. But even their clients rarely want to go above the code. So that's Problem 1 (of many). To make change at scale, we have to get the new info into codes & standards. Which is hard: ...
