So at bad old "woke" New College of Florida, a hardworking young Floridian of limited means could successfully pursue a degree in neuroscience. At Ron DeSantis's new New College--where competence has apparently gone to die--she's just out of luck.

Rikers is Filthy and Violent. Is It Time for a Federal Takeover?
Manhattan’s top federal prosecutor is the latest to make that case.
The dangerous incidents occurring at Rikers are beyond the scope of what’s acceptable, the monitor argued: “They are not typical, they are not expected, they are not normal.”

The Morality Police have returned to Iran, but the mood has definitely changed.
"Despite the mounting pressure created by the patrols, the women bravely adorn their chosen attire and confidently visit cafes, purchase books and take leisurely strolls.
They aim to send a resolute message: "We are not turning back."

I know of 81M witnesses who are ready to testify.
“Donald Trump’s lawyers and advisers are trying to figure out if there is evidence and witnesses they are unaware of that are bolstering special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election,” CNN reports.
“The target letter suggests the special counsel will prosecute a bigger case against Trump than the former president’s team was expecting, given the evidence they are aware of."
The United States Supreme Court has already spoken, humiliating the state in front of the nation. But our lawmakers in Montgomery have no sense of shame. As they redraw the maps, again, these lawmakers have learned nothing. https://link.al.com/view/5efe4c2042ce88753244f961j4m4r.2wu/3e172864
Joe Biden’s Twitter account put that line over an ad using the words of Georgia Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Turning Points Action Conference speech from last weekend, in which she set out to tear down the president’s policies but ended up making him sound terrific."

Junior Predicts “End Of Civilization” If Daddy’s Indicted For J6 Insurrection
MAGA land is sure upset today. Cantaloupe Caligula getting a target letter from Jack Smith vis a vis the January 6 insurrection has really sent off some seismic shockwaves. Trump, Jr. took to Steve Bannon’s airwaves today to opine how it’s about time for this empire to fall, since they all take about 250 years to do so. Don’t worry, Junior, we’re pretty sure the opium poppy field.....

Earlier, @usedgov held a hearing on our path forward on student debt relief — a key step to get relief to as many borrowers as possible, as quickly as possible.
I'm not backing down.
We'll do everything we can to help hardworking Americans get a little bit of breathing room.

California state employee travel ban, red states
See, this is how Mastodon-style defederation works outside social media:
"Attorney General Bonta: California Will Restrict State-Funded Travel to Missouri, Nebraska and Wyoming due to the passage of anti-trans legislation."

Lemme get this straight: they don’t want us to use birth control. They don’t want us to have access to abortion. And they don’t give a fuck about the baby once it’s born. And they want your vote?

When This Meteorologist Talked About Climate Change, He Received Death Threats
“We need to be able to communicate climate change and not worry if ratings suffer.”
Many meteorologists who do talk about global heating still have to deal with abusive emails, even if death threats are rare, Sorensen added. “A lot of my former colleagues are afraid and I’m worried what happened to Chris will make more of them afraid to talk about this,” said Sorensen

There are 27,000 (ish) "places of worship".
