#Grooming report pulls no punches - but will it lead to meaningful change?

Debunked board game card titled “Steal”. Instructions to “Steal a random card from a player’s hand of your choice.” The card is subtitled “PLAGIARISM” and has a cartoonish image of a mustachioed man in a bowler hat with a conniving grin. The card has a quote from the scheming man saying “Great work you’ve done there… it’s a shame you didn’t patent it!”

This is a card from a new board game. What’s the game?

Harvard president’s resignation amid plagiarism allegations leaves academics reeling Claudine Gay steps down in the face of intense scrutiny following controversial congressional testimony about antisemitism on campus.

For sure, @nature.com is doing some great work revealing problems in academia.

What if the problems are deeper than the odd rogue scientist? What of the institutions, funders and journals that protect them & look the other way?

In this mad world, you wonder how people can be so stupid. Then you come across someone at the hospital who tells me that her husband had melanoma and continues to, unprotected, seek out the sun. #melanoma #wilfulblindness

Strange, not reported on the BBC or Sky. I say "strange" as they often show live coverage of Israeli captives being released and so you wouldn't expect such a miss about the treatment of other released innocents... #WilfulBlindness

It certainly looks like mandelson and the British Government are apologists for this fascist Government in the US and complicit in its actions. Mandelson denying that there is anything wrong with Trump. #WilfulBlindness

For example, I wonder what execs and staff at Oaktree Capital Management are thinking. Clever people with all the access to experts they could want.

Will the #wilfulblindness that drives incrementalism persist or will they "smell the smoke"?

And on so many fronts including
Public health

Genocide
Fascism

We need to join the dots. The solutions aren't going to come top down.

Screen shot of Linkedin post by Rusty Stahl who describes himself as an advocate for the Nonprofit Workforce.

"It’s February 2025. Five federal officers knock on your door. 

When you open it, one of them states plainly: “Good morning. You’ve been declared a terrorist by the United States government under U.S. Code 9495-9495.” 

Luckily, they add, “You have three months to prove without a doubt that you are not a terrorist. Good luck.”

They cuff you and lead you to a black SUV. Your family and neighbors are all watching in shock. One of the officers pauses, looks around menacingly, and declares loudly to all the silent observers: 

“This person has been found to be a terrorist by the United States government. You are all safe now. Don’t try anything stupid or you will be declared a terrorist, too.”

As they shove you roughly into the vehicle (making sure to bang your head on the doorway), your voice comes back to your throat. You manage to scream out, 

“Why?! Why are you arresting me?! Why are you accusing me of being a terrorist? I didn’t do anything! What did I do? What evidence do you have against me?! I want to call my lawyer!”

The fed in the drivers seat looks in the rear view mirror and says quietly but firmly, 

“We are declaring you a terrorist — because we are declaring you a terrorist.” 

(contd)

He turns away from you and starts the engine. The officer in the passenger seat takes out a mini-paper shredder, and shreds your passport, drivers license, birth certificate, and credit cards. As you watch, the goon next to you in the back takes out a laptop and deletes your personal website, email account, and social media profiles. You have been deleted.

As the three officers drive you off in the SUV, the other two have stayed at your home. They change the locks on all the doors and throw your stuff on the sidewalk. Then they visit your bank, let them know you have been found by the government to be a terrorist, and they sieze your bank accounts, retirement savings, and all other assets. Now it all belongs to the Trump administration. 

This process is what H.R. 9495 — a bill passed by the MAGA Republican majority in our House of Representatives this morning — could allow the government to do to you. 

Except, in the case of this bill, the “you” is not an individual American, but an American nonprofit organization. Any organization. It could be a church, college, community group, advocacy group, the ACLU or the NRA, human services agency, food pantry, etc. 

And instead of taking an individual’s home and assets, this bill would strip organizations of their legal tax exempt status and take their assets — money given via donations, grants, contracts, and fees from services provided.

Instead of your family and neighbors, this bill would silence the American people by threatening our civic organizations — one of the exceptional traits of American life since our beginnings.

America cannot let this bill proceed. Speak out now so we can speak out later! With courage in the face of fear. With non-violent resistance in the face of violence against our rights.

100% right Roger!
#WilfulBlindness or #StrategicIgnorance will - probably sooner than later - result in a complete unravelling of all what we love.
And this is true even amongst those who care.
I've been v disappointed to see that many US NGO contacts assume that HR9495 won't be used against them.

OPINION: The problem with politicians’ tax-free promises Maybe the U.S. government could earn airline mileage from putting trillions of dollars of new debt on a credit card.

🙄 The huge friggin' irony of this column? Persily promises exactly the same thing at the state level when he urges further #akleg spending (because it's only at the expense of deeper PFDcuts, which, from his perspective as a Top20%'er, aren't "taxes"). #wilfulblindness
