"Under President Donald Trump, the Education Department’s staff has been cut approximately in half — including in the Office for Civil Rights, whose attorneys are charged with investigating complaints of discrimination against kids with disabilities. The staff has been directed to prioritize antisemitism cases. More than 20,000 pending cases — including those related to kids with disabilities, historically the largest share of the office’s work — largely sat idle for weeks after Trump took office. A freeze on processing the cases was lifted early this month, but advocates question whether the department can make progress on them with a smaller staff."

Yes.

To obscure while providing a big spectacle.

Although apparently they did un-redacted some stuff this time. I have no idea how much exactly. Per Wikileaks:

CIA suppressed top officer James Jesus Angleton's connection to Israeli intelligence as shown by this newly unredacted JFK assassination records file.

Angleton had subverted JFK's policy of preventing Israel from acquiring nuclear weapons and was praised by Mossad head Meir Amit as "the biggest Zionist of them all". Angleton was also found to have hidden documents from the Warren Commission on the assassination of President Kennedy.

Shortly before he died, Angleton stated "The better you lied and the more you betrayed, the more likely you would be promoted… outside of their duplicity, the only thing they had in common was a desire for absolute power."

The file was previously "released" in 2017, 2018 and 2022 in redacted form.

The whole point of releasing this shit to begin with was to discredit Dr King because Trump is a racist pos. There never was any conspiracy about JFK it was always just consumer slop ment to cause fear and anxiety so the piggies would swallow up the slop. In the files a lot of shit king did that was less that desierable is unveiled mainly caused by the CIA trying to literally get him to kill himself. Non the less the media illiteracy in the country will probably be used to discredit King.

I haven't seen that poll so I'm out of context. But in general, there is a type of propaganda echo chamber, that contains the careless opinions. This is about topics people lack any interest or motivation to put any effort into knowing stuff. Zelenski-opinions are for the most part such careless opinions , because it doesn't affect people if what they know about Zelenski is wrong. And for that reason careless opinions are just a type of noise people make where they repeat the same noises they hear in their environment.

Propagandists often celebrate this as brainwashing wins, but careless opinions do not form the bases for anything real. As soon as people have to use information to make decisions, the effect of manipulating careless opinions is almost nonexistent.

So if you can see them flip the narrative about Zelenski, that means people didn't gave a shit in the first place.

It appears that Ukraine isn't even at the bargaining table, it seems to be that the US and Russia are going to decide Ukraine's future.

>Not only they captured some Russian soil,

The Kursk incursion doesn't represent a bargaining chip imho, because the Ukrainians are not able to hold on to it. It's unlikely the Russians would choose to bargain for territory they can recapture. Last i heard about this was when the Russians said they would consider Ukrainian soldier in Kursk as terrorists rather than prisoners of war and the US was bargaining with the Russians to not just liquidate those men.

>but they've also gotten pretty good at hitting targets within Russia without the help of the west.

The Ukrainians did manage to shoot drones and stuff into Russia, but not at a scale where it causes lots of disruptions, so mostly militarily ineffective. I think the intended purpose of those attacks was about torpedoing diplomatic efforts, and to create a false appearance that Ukraine was on the offensive.

File: 1742784248071.jpg ( 99.97 KB , 1080x1086 , wells fargo is plotting to….jpg )

From the people that brought you The Great Recession:

Wells Fargo envisions a postal service where the mail is kept as a taxpayer-funded government entity while the package and parcel components, which are more profitable, are “sold or IPOed.” In order for the new private company to earn a decent profit, “USPS would need to raise prices by ~30-140% across its product line.”

A privatized postal system would also take aim at the Universal Service Obligation, which requires mail to be delivered to every address six days a week. Such dedication to equitable service “would be a challenge for a third-party operator to profitably move mail and packages,” the memo complains. This move would also put pressure on the proposed mail-only service, which would likely be financially hobbled, to downgrade from six-day delivery as well.

DOGE’s assault on federal workers has seemingly given Wells Fargo inspiration. Citing “recent DOGE efforts on federal cost control,” it recommends that postal employees be given a “deferred buyout offer to leave or layoffs could ensue.” Taking a page from the UK’s Royal Mail privatization in 2013, it suggests that the government take over all pension liabilities and not offer them to workers at the new private company.

With surprising candor, the memo admits that privatization will cause “less job security amid inevitable loss of union protections, loss of pension benefits, higher healthcare costs and employee/wage restructuring.”

With post offices in every zip code, it’s not surprising that Wells Fargo is also looking at real estate as a major source of profit. The company estimates the real estate value for the USPS to be as much as $88 billion. This includes “smaller post office facilities” Wells Fargo would love to sell off or lease. These post offices serve as critical pieces of public infrastructure, especially in small towns and rural areas.

In the last few years (up until recently) the stock market did pretty well, and yet conditions for workers did not improve. If anything it got a little worse.

The Marxist perspective is that when the worker succeed in class struggle their material conditions improve. I think that matters more than stonks.

Investigators probe fire at Republican Party’s New Mexico HQ that group says is arson

A fire damaged the entryway at the Republican Party of New Mexico’s Albuquerque headquarters early Sunday, which the party called “a deliberate act of arson.”

The words “ICE=KKK” were spray-painted on the building, the party said in a media release posted to X. No one was hurt in the fire, it said, and law enforcement is investigating.



The fire comes amid protests against moves by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the Republican Trump administration to deport migrants. The FBI has also created a task force to “crack down on violent Tesla attacks” after vandalism and acts of violence aimed at the electric car manufacturer, whose CEO, Elon Musk, is leading President Donald Trump’s efforts to downsize the federal government workforce.

Albuquerque Fire Rescue said it was dispatched to the San Francisco Road address just before 6 a.m. for a reported structure fire.

“The fire was brought under control within 5 minutes of their arrival. The structure suffered damage to the front entryway and smoke damage throughout the building. No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported,” it said on Facebook.

Fire officials are investigating alongside teams from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, it said.

FBI raids home of prominent computer scientist who has gone incommunicado
Indiana University quietly removes profile of tenured professor and refuses to say why.

A prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity has gone incommunicado, had his professor profile, email account, and phone number removed by his employer, Indiana University, and had his homes raided by the FBI. No one knows why.

Xiaofeng Wang has a long list of prestigious titles. He was the associate dean for research at Indiana University's Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering, a fellow at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a tenured professor at Indiana University at Bloomington. According to his employer, he has served as principal investigator on research projects totaling nearly $23 million over his 21 years there.

He has also co-authored scores of academic papers on a diverse range of research fields, including cryptography, systems security, and data privacy, including the protection of human genomic data. I have personally spoken to him on three occasions for articles here, here, and here.

In recent weeks, Wang's email account, phone number, and profile page at the Luddy School were quietly erased by his employer. Over the same time, Indiana University also removed a profile for his wife, Nianli Ma, who was listed as a Lead Systems Analyst and Programmer at the university's Library Technologies division.

As reported by the Bloomingtonian and later the Herald-Times in Bloomington, a small fleet of unmarked cars driven by government agents descended on the Bloomington home of Wang and Ma on Friday. They spent most of the day going in and out of the house and occasionally transferred boxes from their vehicles. TV station WTHR, meanwhile, reported that a second home owned by Wang and Ma and located in Carmel, Indiana, was also searched. The station said that both a resident and an attorney for the resident were on scene during at least part of the search.

Attempts to locate Wang and Ma have so far been unsuccessful. An Indiana University spokesman didn't answer emailed questions asking if the couple was still employed by the university and why their profile pages, email addresses, and phone numbers had been removed. The spokesman provided the contact information for a spokeswoman at the FBI's field office in Indianapolis. In an email, the spokeswoman wrote: "The FBI conducted court authorized law enforcement activity at homes in Bloomington and Carmel Friday. We have no further comment at this time."

Searches of federal court dockets turned up no documents related to Wang, Ma, or any searches of their residences. The FBI spokeswoman didn't answer questions seeking which US district court issued the warrant and when, and whether either Wang or Ma is being detained by authorities. Justice Department representatives didn't return an email seeking the same information. An email sent to a personal email address belonging to Wang went unanswered at the time this post went live. Their resident status (e.g. US citizens or green card holders) is currently unknown.

Fellow researchers took to social media over the weekend to register their concern over the series of events.

"None of this is in any way normal," Matthew Green, a professor specializing in cryptography at Johns Hopkins University, wrote on Mastodon. He continued: "Has anyone been in contact? I hear he’s been missing for two weeks and his students can’t reach him. How does this not get noticed for two weeks???"

They could be attacking him because of his work, but since this scientist's name sounds Chinese, they probably abducted him because they think he's a spy. If that's the case it does sound like racial prejudice, such biases are not conducive to effective counter intelligence, and can be exploitable.

My hunch is that actual Chinese spies exploit the back-doors that the US gov put into their own systems, rather than posing as scientists.
