my colleagues' votes on whether to form a union are being counted today. last night the university administration ran to the Trump administration asking them to "review the legality" of the situation, meaning, they're scared of losing the vote so asked for a favor in which the feds declare the union in formation null and void
evil shit, with implications for workers everywhere: https://www.provost.usc.edu/an-important-update-on-the-rtpc-faculty-unionization-process/

Why, I remember when this was all just Arpanet. I'm over educated, opinionated, and quite possibly wrong about everything. Published author, banned comics publisher, ethicist, cranky old philosopher careered in information architecture. AKA: I contain multitudes. Black lives matter. Trans lives matter. Your life matters.

This is horrific and a massive breach of ethics where it concerns consent.
The University of Southern California (#USC) and University of California, San Diego (#UCSD) have millions of dollars in contracts to sell bodies donated for scientific research to the #Navy who gave them to the #IDF. (Our tax dollars at work.)
Yes, the IDF. Easier to know how to kill #Palestinian kids if you take aim at some #American corpses first, I guess.
Both universities have said they plan on continuing the program. Maybe rethink your plans to donate your body to science, if that was on your agenda.

Apropos that mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana referenced above.
Eight more innocent victims laid at the altar of the bloodlustful false ghod that is celebrated by adherents of the #2A

Agreed. Trump has only two criteria for appointment to his cabinet and his agencies - unwavering absolute loyalty to Trump (not the #USC) and egregious incompetence - no-one should shine brighter than the Sun-Ghod.
