Feel like it shld be front page, 34-sized font headline news that the person who gave ~$250 million to Trump campaign and then was co-president for a few months, dismantling agencies and stealing Americans' data, built an AI tool that is being used for child porn. This Sept. piece is instructive

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

The New York Times has just confirmed that 40 civilians died in President Trump's invasion. This is the aftermath in one area

Seth Harp: 'The unit that abducted President Nicolas Maduro was Delta Force, an organization filled with cokeheads and pervaded by drug trafficking. You can bet that the only narcotics involved were the ones that they were on.'

Lowe's delivery automated service has intimacy issues.

A new #Academe article from @davidabanks.online takes a clear-eyed look at the academic “underclass” and the “ever-widening gap between those who do the work and those who administer it” in #highered. @aaup.org
