- I know I'm late to this but the Washington Post firing so many of their best international reporters is deeply depressing. Sign of the times.
- Reposted by Jeppe Mulich'As the regulator for all higher education providers in England, the outcome of the challenge against the OfS will have far-reaching implications for its ability to enforce freedom of speech and academic freedom at universities.' Abolish the OfS, the metastisising cancer of English HE.
- Reposted by Jeppe MulichRemember, the state regulator "fined" U of Sussex almost £600,000 for attempting to protect the rights of trans people. Hopefully this shocking and shameful abuse of power will be overturned.
- Don't let the fuckers pivot and backtrack and pretend like everything is back to normal.

- I spent a January in MN many years ago, mostly in the twin cities and Rochester. The one thing I keep thinking back to is how freaking cold it was. Kudos to everyone who keep taking to the streets to document and observe, day after day.

- The thing that really gets me about US conservatism is how many people who've preached small government and fears of federal overreach for years are now celebrating Trump's bully boys. What should be the nightmare of any libertarian is now coming true and most of them are either quiet or cheering.

- A lesson from the history of protests and revolutions that is obvious to scholars but seemingly impossible for authoritatians to grasp: responding to largely peaceful protests with disproportionate violence is likely to mobilize many more protesters and rally more people to the cause.

- Most clear-eyed speech of the day, by some distance.
- People arguing that Trump's foreign policy is a return to empire don't seem to understand that America has been doing empire for decades. What we're seeing now is an empire of fools.

- Trump is wrong, ofc. There are many "written documents" confirming "right of ownership," including the 1916 Treaty of the Danish West Indies, in which the US explicitly acknowledges Danish sovereignty over Greenland at the time. That's besides the point, though, as Greenland is no longer a colony.
- It's tempting to compare the sale of the Danish Virgin Islands to the US 110 years ago to current American demands for Greenland. I urge folks to actually read up on both cases, in detail, before making such comparisons.

- It's not just the US that is shutting down foreign language programs and funding. We are dismantling the tower of babel with our own hands and replacing it with the broken toaster of automatic translation.
- "Myanmar, where the UN estimates 40% of the population needs humanitarian assistance and which once counted the US as its largest humanitarian donor. Now ... it has become the epicenter of the suffering unleashed upon the world’s most vulnerable by President Trump’s dismantling of USAID."
