Today someone I know slightly was sentenced to 30 months in prison, and sent to a high security facility. Their crime was disrupting traffic - they and others climbed a gantry on the M25, the major orbital round London, to drop banners protesting at government inaction on climate change.

If a young woman studying for a PhD had been treated like this for nonviolent protest in, say, Iran or China, how would it be reported by our press?

Pazdur’s departure comes amid wider clashes with #FDA top brass over who should lead the agency’s key departments, & how to balance sped-up #drug reviews with #QualityControl, acc/to 3 people familiar with the dynamics within the agency.

Pazdur’s breaking point happened when Makary pressed him to replace career drug regulators with his own hand-selected hires, those people said.

Just heard from someone who works at Wowburger that the company takes any gratuity you leave on the payment machines.

So, if this is true, it’s illegal in Ireland. Not to mention, a dick move regardless.

Anyone in Ireland know the Wowburger folks and/or where I can lodge a complaint about this?

This kind of #policy making — the #ACIP childhood #vaccine schedule, combined with not extending #ACA subsidies, adding #WorkRequirements to #SNAP / #FoodStamps & #Medicaid — all coming simultaneously in 2026 — is going to be an assault upon the #poor people of the #UnitedStates all while we are in a #Kshaped #economy with the #WealthGap ever widening.

Next was an excellent panel on the implications of recent changes to Delaware corporate law with Eduardo Gallardo, Ann Lipton, Edward Rock, and John Mark Zeberkiewicz at ECGI. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeNJNX8R7S8 (6/7) #law #finance

Next was an essential panel on M&A and politics with @jciv, Mara Faccio, Steven Lipin, Mihir N. Mehta, and Ivan Schlager at ECGI. This discussion dives right to the heart of the implications of our fraught moment for business and society broadly, with Coates in particular ensuring that we don't pretend everything is business as usual as the rule of law crumbles. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpubrEs8ooQ (4/7) #law #finance

First was an amazing panel on current US antitrust policy and enforcement with Roger Alford, Elinor Hoffmann, Lina Khan, Christina Ma, and Joshua H Soven at European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI). Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FehYEG_ygbY (2/7) #law #finance

At least 87 people have now been murdered in strikes on 23 *suspected* drug boats as part of a campaign, dubbed Operation Southern Spear, that the #Trump admin has claimed is aimed at curtailing narcotics trafficking [but is really about #oil & US #supremacy].

Alongside the post is a 21-second-long #SnuffFilm showing the boat being struck.

Thursday’s strike comes as the #Pentagon is facing bipartisan criticism over a September attack on an *alleged* drug vessel in which the #military fired follow-up strikes, killing surviving crew members.

Two Chicago police officers were investigated for sexual misconduct — then promoted.

It wasn’t an oversight.

Despite a decadeslong reform effort, the Chicago Police Department’s promotions system allows for disciplinary records to be ignored.
