If you are a multiply marginalized person in this world, what's happening to Claudine Gay— and especially its comparison to what ISN'T happening to white dudes who've committed ACTUAL plagiarism and fraud—is both no surprise, and a complete nightmare.

Anybody else still curious who planted the pipe bombs, disabled Mike Pence’s key card, removed the panic button in Ayanna Presley’s office, and shared the locations of non-reinforced Capitol windows?

@9to5Mac You seemed to have not fully researched a topic before stating something couldn’t be done. You *can* make nested folders on iOS Notes.

On the page of folders, tap Edit in the upper right corner. Then tap the circle with three dots next to the folder to which you want to make a subfolder. Then tap Add Folder and it will be a subfolder.

Alternatively you can swipe right to left on an existing folder, tap the purple folder button, and move that folder underneath another as a subfolder.

Not sure if this was #BDS-linked, but the #BDSMovement is a global menace.

They encourage these kinds of violent "protests," spectacular boycotts, and closures that simply disrupt other people's lives (not just #Jewish)

In #US, #BDSHorseShoe blames #Biden, threatens to upend #WorldSecurity by handing #Election2024 to #Trump and unleash horrors upon the whole world

Hamas strategically employs civilian homes for military operations, often with their operatives dressing as civilians. However, when Israel responds to these actions, it is frequently labeled as 'war crimes.' Stop the hypocrisy.

It’s not Champaign unless it comes from the Champaign region of Illinois.

A different perspective for those folks who are having trouble seeing women's point of view. (edited to include alt-text, thanks to Aral Balkan)

The politically powerful who want to affect school appear to be those who are the least aware of the nature of human learning.

If the gunnuts always blame mental health for mass shootings, how about mental health screenings included in a universal background check before obtaining a gun? Maybe even some training? Licensing? Registration?

L.A. woman, 88, had private security for protection. A guard shot her on New Year’s Eve

He mistook her for a burglar. Guns are always a bad idea, folks.

I don’t know how it’s going for you, but my Fantasy Ivy League President team is in shambles.

@Huntn00 @AlliFlowers Yes, I think this is key to the delight that a certain group of citizens always expresses when their "enemies" are targeted: they imagine they themselves won't ever be targeted in similar fashion. History inevitably proves them wrong.

As long as Republicans are in charge of much of the nation, gun reform won't be addressed. More innocents will die, their loved ones will suffer, & America loses. Another tragedy because of gun violence:

An active shooter at another one of America's schools today. Multiple victims have been reported at Perry High School in Perry, Iowa.

#Trump took in ≥$7.8 million from foreign governments / entities while in office most of it from China, provably engaging in exactly the kind of conduct the #GOP is grasping to pin on President #Biden.
