Nope. You can derail pretty much any meeting of Democrats in America by just saying the word “superdelegates.” Maybe next decade?

17 Mexican citizens have been killed during ICE operations. The Mexican government has filed criminal complaints w/several state prosecutors, served evidence preservation letters on detention centers, & called for a formal review by the UN Human Rights Council. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

TPS for Haitians officially expires tomorrow. ICE is planning big operations, with Springfield, Ohio among the targets www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-hai...

No. It only gets worse until they're stopped.

Distorting government records in service of absurd lies aimed at getting around clear laws really sucks. Corrosive in multiple ways. In this case, altering US casualty data for the Iran war to pretend it’s multiple separate wars as a contemptuous disregard for the time limits in the War Powers Act.

Closer to half-a-billion instead. 😆

I have separate shelves for the unread books. They don’t graduate to the “official” library shelves until they’ve been read. (Certainly exceptions made for books used for reference only).

The kids got some great storylines with the Mon Calamari in the Clone Wars series. Including the dangers of appeasement and power hungry factions that will ally with foreign empires.

Learning a lot about protocols I never noticed in other meeting minutes and stuff like "charged language" that seemed pretty tame to me until now! - Respectfully submitted etc.

I think I'm all caught up on writing and revising minutes for the past few months. Between various guides and the latest Robert's Rules, I think (I hope?) I won't torpedo the next meeting with an extended debate on my minutes again!

Five years ago today, #Belarus began one of Europe's most sweeping crackdowns on civil society. On July 23, 2021, the regime filed to dissolve more than 50 NGOs in one day. Since 2020, at least 2,044 non-profit organizations have been liquidated.

Orwell is cited a lot these days, and yes "we have always been at war with Eastasia" applies here. But the most Orwellian thing about all this is doublethink. You are required to believe the US and Iran have been at war for 47 years AND that the US and Iran have been at war for only a few months.

Apparently not part of Western Civilization (incomplete list): Homer, Socrates, Plato, democracy, Aquinas, Shakespeare, liberty, Locke, Montesquieu, Superman, NATO, vaccines Western Civilization that Must Be Defended: Carl Schmitt, the Confederacy, Green M&Ms in heels, the movie 300, domestic abuse

Good book... if not sort of horrifying to my naive and hopeful science nerd brain: wwnorton.com/books/Access...

Canada is great, the US-Canada alliance was great—world’s longest land border and at peace! joint air defense! tons of money from trade! mutually enriching cultural exchange!—and this entirely Trump-caused damage to the relationship really sucks. For many reasons. So unnecessary. So self-harming.

So say we all!

We hope to see you this weekend for chock full program. www.spurlock.illinois.edu/events
