The Glencore-PolyMet sulfide mine will destroy the Lake Superior Watershed and other Minnesota waterways. Our message to Putin friendly Glencore: Get Lost!
startribune.com/new-lawsuit-sa…
If the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is a bad idea, this is worse.
Glencore's C.E.O. got the medal of friendship from Vladimir Putin.
This is one more reason we don't want the Glencore-PolyMet sulfide mine in Minnesota.
reuters.com/article/us-rus…
Foreign sulfide mining companies say we should allow the Lake Superior watershed and Boundary Waters to be polluted so they can mine copper and nickel for electric vehicle batteries.
What for? Russian tanks?
What will the Boundary Waters, the Lake Superior Watershed and other Minnesota waterways look like if we allow sulfide mining by foreign oligarchs?
That nasty orange hair dye we all would like to forget ...

Corporations across America use bias training to improve the workplace and avoid discrimination lawsuits, but some clueless academics still insist that law schools shouldn't do the same. It would be terrible if they prepared students for the real world.
reuters.com/legal/governme…
One of the most vocal critics of the ABA rule on bias training is a professor who insisted that law school deans must remain silent about racism and the murder of George Floyd and who called history scholar Nikole Hannah-Jones an "imbecile" because he disagreed with her. Nuts.
One Twitter clown wrote in his blog "It is a shame there is no solid evidence such training is effective in reducing bias."
Depends on who's doing the training. This guy obviously shouldn't be the one. He denies or justifies bias every time he sees it.

This is disgusting. If a priest had made these statements advocating for the morality of adult sex with children, police would've carried out multiple search warrants by now. Mentally disturbed people are now calling this "practicing philosophy."

This SUNY "philosophy" professor needs to retire and be given a one way plane ticket to Palm Beach. He might be welcome at Mar-a-Lago.....
Anyone who says that advocating for the morality of adult sex with children is "practicing philosophy" does not possess the mental competence to teach philosophy or any other subject. Not a safe person to allow on any campus.

He's arguing for the morality of sex with 12 year old girls while on the state payroll at SUNY?
Our state legislature, courts and governing boards would not stand for this at any state university in Minnesota. SUNY needs to clean house.

Apparently tenured professors get away with anything. As for the untenured, they had better not even criticize the mental state of our 45'th president....

There are limits to this "academic freedom" fetish. A professor who argues that the Holocaust did not happen or should happen again must be removed from the classroom. Same for a professor who argues for the morality of child rape. There are limits.

Trump 2024 will not be about conservatism or patriotism. It will be about race. This Trump supporter has been attacking me for months on a website with domain name wokekkk .com after I criticized Brian Leiter for supporting her lawsuit against Yale. Awful.

I have repeatedly asked this republication of a defamatory Tweet about me to be taken down. There is ZERO evidence of a conspiracy by "fake News press" and law schools against the Federalist Society. These people have been at it for months.

I am an independent, not a member of either party. But I have noticed a lot less race baiting (in fact none) coming out of the White House since January 20, 2021.

"Kershnar also reportedly said he didn’t think it was a 'blanket wrong' to have sex with a one-year-old."
Why was this man ever allowed on a college campus to begin with? Who are his supporters in this?
Truly disgusting.
dailywire.com/news/professor…
Advocating for adult sex with children is not "doing philosophy" any more than supporting pedophilia is "doing theology."
Is Jeffrey Epstein the new Socrates?
These people are truly disgusting.
leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2022/02/s…
People defend January 6 as "legitimate political discourse" and defend the "academic freedom" of a philosophy professor on the New York State payroll to argue there's nothing morally wrong with adults having sex with babies. The age of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is upon us.

Napping while Black, somebody calls the cops.
Napping while Black, with a gun in bed in a private home, get shot dead.
Where are all the 2nd Amendment champions? How many of them have also heard of the 14th Amendment?
sg.news.yahoo.com/legal-gun-owne…
Who authorized a no-knock search warrant in the case? Early in the morning? That's an invitation to a shoot out when people inside a home have no idea who's waking them up. Unless it's a terrorist cell or another extremely dangerous situation a no-knock warrant should be denied.
Minnesota politicians cover up the fact that they were aware of racial profiling and other problems in police departments but did nothing. That's on the record in Falcon Heights in 2016 (p. 6). Supervising the police does not mean looking the other way.
