From Judge Brantley Starr (N.D. Tex.) May 12 in Fisher v. Campbell: This case stems from a Texas Tech University law student allegedly making a celebratory statement {in the clinic program offices} after Charlie Kirk’s assassination while she was working at a legal clinic at the school. The school … reprimanded her and reported her to the state bar for acting unprofessionally, in violation of the school’s honor code [on the grounds that she had] {“fail[ed] to uphold professional or fiduciary obligations including, but not limited to, performance related to clinical programs”}. The alleged celebratory statements were said to be:…

In the Trumpian Age, Every Accusation Is Also a Confession Nick Turse Tom Dispatch “It’s got no anything,” President Donald Trump said of Somalia in a recent xenophobic rant. “All they do is run around shooting each other.” As is true of so much with this administration, every accusation is also a confession. U.S. troops have been shooting Somalis since the…

Updated from ‘The Function of the Fake Binary‘, May 16 2022 In his 1998 book The Common Good, Noam Chomsky describes the key role that managed disagreements play in modern politics… The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum — even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate…” This remains…

Today is a day I’ve dreaded for over a decade. At around 6:20 a.m., we’ll get my oldest son Judson up, give him a bath, put his safety harness on (don’t worry, we’ll dress him first), and then watch him amble down our driveway to the school bus, as we have almost every school day since fourth grade. He’ll go through whatever class activities he has, come to the end of the day, and get ready to ride the bus home, as he has almost every school day since fourth grade. His teachers and aides will wipe their eyes, put…

How Media Glorification of Vigilantes and Militarism Can Backfire Mischa Geracoulis for Project Censored On December 22, 1984, Bernie Goetz—“the subway vigilante”—shot four unarmed Black teenagers on a New York City subway after one had asked Goetz for five dollars. Pulling an unregistered Smith & Wesson revolver from his waistband, Goetz fired five shots with expert precision at the…

The idea that Donald Trump would knock over the justice and treasury departments for $1.776 billion, and then, back at his Mar-a-Lago hideout, split the loot with the January 6th Hole in the Capitol Wall Gang is wishful thinking; Trump has only ever thought of himself as the sole victim of the Biden administration’s injustices. All those patriotic defecators on Nancy Pelosi’s desk were never anything more than MAGA poster children, to make the point that Trump is more Robin Hood than Willy Sutton—that he robbed his own government as if operating on behalf of the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Note that…
