at least some students want consequences:

> The Reed chapter of the Young Democratic Socialists of America
(YDSA) issued a statement saying Currie was "targeting service
workers with racist and xenophobic abuse."
>
> The statement said: "We wholeheartedly condemn his actions and
call for his firing from Reed immediately."
>
> The group also condemned the college's "weak response,"
adding: "The email that went out this morning refused to name
Paul, referring to him as a 'valued member of our communiy' who
the administration will 'engage in conversation' with regarding
the policies he violated in the video. This is a blatant
minimization of his actions."
--- End Quote ---
Of course, even if Currie is fired, he will continue to be
racist. Perhaps he will become even more racist:

This is why we keep saying Cancel Culture is good, but not
enough on its own. The only true solution to those like Currie
requires use of firearms. Will the college still refer to him as
a 'valued member of our community' when he has a bullet hole
through his head?

The best news from the Ukraine war:

--- Quote ---
> Reuters spoke with more than two dozen scientists about the
impact of the Ukraine conflict on Russian science. Many
expressed concern about its future after tens of millions of
dollars in Western funding for Russian science has been
suspended in the wake of European sanctions on Moscow.
>
> Hundreds of partnerships between Russian and Western
institutions have been paused if not canceled altogether, the
scientists said, as the invasion has unraveled years spent
building international cooperation following the Soviet Union's
1991 collapse.
>
> Many communication channels are closed and research trips have
been postponed indefinitely.
>
> The projects affected by the suspension of Western assistance
include the construction of high-tech research facilities in
Russia, such as an ion collider and a neutron reactor for which
Europe had pledged 25 million euros ($27.4 million).
>
> Such technology would unlock a generation of research that
could contribute to everything from fundamental physics to the
development of new materials, fuels and pharmaceuticals,
scientists said.
> ...
> The head of Russia's space agency, Roscosmos, said this month
it would suspend its participation in the space station until
sanctions tied to the Ukraine invasion are lifted.
>
> Russian scientists also helped build the Large Hadron
Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, at the
European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland, known
as CERN. In 2012, the collider made the breakthrough discovery
of the elusive Higgs boson, which until then had only been
theorized.
> ...
> European scientists had been helping to build Russian research
sites including the neutron reactor and the ion collider near
St. Petersburg, said Martin Sandhop, a coordinator on this
EU-funded effort called CremlinPlus.
>
> The facilities would help to drive research in fields like
high-energy physics, biochemistry and materials science.
>
> But plans for a 25-million-euro project extension are now
suspended and Sandhop's team is redirecting experts and
equipment toward European institutions.
>
> Cremlin's neutron detectors needed for the planned reactor,
for example, are now going to a facility in Lund, Sweden.

The correct response to Karenism:
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/owner-south-dakota-hotel-said-171900308.html
--- Quote ---
> The Black Hills of South Dakota have been inhabited by
Indigenous people for thousands of years, but last month the
owner of a hotel in Rapid City, located on the eastern edge of
the mountain range, said Native people were no longer welcome.
> ...
> "We will no longer allow any Native American on property,"
Uhre wrote in a comment that was shared, and condemned, by the
mayor of Rapid City, Steve Allender. Uhre also wrote that
ranchers and travelers, presumably non-Native ones, would
receive a special rate of $59 a night.
> ...
> Sioux leaders hit the hotel with the trespass notice.
>
> "You are hereby notified that the Great Sioux Nation has made
an investigation, and evidence shows that you are in trespass,"
the notice said. Protesters gathered at the hotel the day it was
delivered and a large "Eviction Notice" was hung over the hotel
sign.
> ...
> The notice said the hotel was in violation of the Treaty of
Fort Laramie, also called the Sioux Treaty of 1868, which
established that the land of the Black Hills belonged to the
Sioux. When gold was found in the area a few years later, the US
broke the treaty by allowing white settlers to move there, an
action the Supreme Court deemed illegal in 1980.
>
> The treaty articles cited in the notice state that non-Natives
cannot pass through the treaty lands "without the consent of the
Indians." It also states "if bad men among the whites" commit
any wrongdoing against a Native person they would be reported to
the federal government "to be arrested and punished according to
the laws of the United States."
>
> Leaders of the Great Sioux Nation consider the treaty valid.
Frazier said that there was never an agreement by both parties
to dissolve the treaty, so "it's still a legal binding
document." He cited Article 6 of the Constitution, which
establishes laws and treaties of the US as the supreme law of
the land.

I'm sure a Russian or Ukrainian would be well received by this
hotel though, right? Doesn't get more un-American than this. The
property owners should be stripped of their citizenship at the
least!

CANCEL WAX!
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/black-asian-law-students-call-182225878.html
--- Quote ---
> Several national law student associations are calling for Amy
Wax, a University of Pennsylvania Law School professor who for
years has espoused openly racist rhetoric, to be suspended from
campus and prevented from speaking to students.
>
> The National Black Law Students Association, the National
Asian Pacific American Law Student Association, and the North
American South Asian Law Students Association jointly released a
letter on Wednesday, shared first with NBC Asian America,
condemning Wax’s comments. In recent interviews, Wax has said
that the U.S. would be “better off with fewer Asians,” and that
“Blacks” and Asians are resentful of Western success.
>
> “That Wax has been permitted to teach, supervise, and ridicule
minority law students for over twenty one years is alarming,”
the letter said. “Few understand how much more burdensome law
school is for students who continuously receive the message that
they are 'less than' or do not belong.”

Good work:

--- Quote ---
> A Lyft driver in Pennsylvania ordered a couple out of his car
after the woman made racist remarks, expressing surprise to see
a “white guy” behind the wheel, video shows.
>
> Driver James Bode posted a video of the alarming exchange,
which took place Friday outside a drinking hole in Catasauqua
called Fossil’s Last Stand, the Morning Call reported.
>
> “Wow, you’re like a white guy,” the woman tells the shocked
Bode.
>
> “What’s that?” he says. “Excuse me?”
>
> “You’re like a normal guy, like you speak English,” the woman
says, laughingly, as she pats his shoulder and adds, “Sorry.”
>
> “Nah, you can get out of the car,” Bode tells her. “That’s
inappropriate, that’s completely inappropriate. If somebody was
not white sitting in this seat, what would be the difference?”
>
> “Are you serious?” she asks.
>
> When her male companion steps inside the vehicle, Bode tells
him about what she had said and asks the couple to leave.
>
> But the man turns indignant and is heard cursing Bode.
>
> “You’re a f—- asshole,” the man says.
>
> “It’s all on camera, man,” Bode informs them.
>
> “You’re a piece of s—-. I should punch you in the f—- face,”
the man continues.
>
> “You’re going to threaten me — assault?” Bode says.
>
> When Bode says the two are racist, the man calls him a “f—-
n—- lover” and tells him to “get the f—- out of here.”
>
> “No, I’m calling the cops on you, man,” Bode says. “It’s all
on camera.”
> ...
> “Thank you for showing how to calmly and courageously be
anti-racist. I respect and admire you,” one user wrote on his
post.
> ...
> The Morning Call identified the woman as bar owner Jackie
Harford, who reportedly shut down the joint’s website and
Facebook page, as well as deleted her personal page.
> ...
> Meanwhile, Hartford’s bar — Fossil’s Last Stand — was slammed
with one-star ratings on Yelp amid the fallout.

Of course, this is not over until both Harford's and her
companion's bloodlines are eliminated.

"How DARE you accuse me and my wife of being racist, you ****
lover!"
These people sure are something else. The husband probably
"respects women and has black friends" as well
