COLOR ME UNSURPRISED:

1/ OUR NEW REPORT: EQUITY REDUCES EXCELLENCE. Jason Arday was not an aberration. He was a feature, not a bug, of a system that replaced merit with identity. Our new study of nearly 2,000 prestigious Canada Research Chairs provides the hard numbers. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/5h6ifelwmu

HIGHER EDUCATION’S FUNDING IS DELIBERATELY OBSCURE. END THAT.

Who controls the funding influences the education of our next generation. There is no good argument against transparency in the funding of higher education. https://t.co/yEpiyqAN8N

TO A LEFTIST, THESE THINGS ARE CONNECTED BECAUSE THEY DISLIKE BOTH OF THEM:

On CNN NewsNight, The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill argues that capitalism is oppressive and bound up in white supremacy.

Kmele Foster: “It's one thing to not think capitalism isn't working ideally. It's another thing entirely to insist that it is oppressive, that it is bound up with… pic.twitter.com/PLWRCuxt7v

DEMOCRATS DESPISE THEIR OWN CONSTITUENTS, EXHIBIT #1,000,006:

🚨 WTF?! The State of New York has ordered Elon Musk's X Money to STOP paying out 6% interest to any New Yorker with their bank account

Instead, interest has to drop to 0%. X is trying to reverse it.

New York leaders hate their own people! pic.twitter.com/qNzAz8eGbC

X Money is basically a PayPal-type transmitter account (there’s an optional physical debit card) that pays 6% on deposits.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Gravitics Wins Lockheed Martin Deal to Build Three Orbital Carriers for Golden Dome.

The spacecraft, described as orbital carriers, are platforms designed to support space-based missile defense operations. Golden Dome has been discussed largely in policy terms, and the contract signals the program is moving into the hardware phase.

Gravitics will build three orbital carriers under the arrangement. The work falls under the Golden Dome space-based missile defense program, and the platforms are intended to support demonstrations of missile defense technologies in orbit. Gravitics is a startup rather than a traditional prime contractor.

Broader Golden Dome industrial activity was visible this week. A Space Force general and U.S. Senator Jim Banks visited L3Harris to review Golden Dome work separately from the Gravitics selection, indicating activity across multiple companies tied to the program.

This is almost 22nd Century stuff.

TRUE: Leftists Will Never Self-Reflect, And They Will Never Apologize For The Horrors They Inflict.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE:

There's a lot of truth in here, as you'd expect from @asymmetricinfo, but there is one more layer: for 30 years, we have allowed only ONE real lender for college tuition, with zero under-writing & ample political pressure to waive even principal payments. Monopoly lending helped… https://t.co/pyS6UyfeUq

I’VE SEEN MORE COMFORTABLE GUESTS OF HONOR IN HOSTAGE VIDEOS: The Body Language of This Black Pastor at an El-Sayed Presser Says It All.

ALL I CAN SAY IS IT’S JUSTIFIED:  Markwayne Mullin says DHS rolling out border biometric scans ‘as fast as we can’ after massive underreporting of foreigners’ rap sheets.

GOOD:  ICE nabs over 2K illegal migrants across NY in ‘Operation Rotten Apple’ — including child rapists, killers.

ALAS, CONNECTICUT:  Illegal aliens are stripping Connecticut beaches clean of crabs and clams, but woke officials are ignoring it.

THEY TRIED TO BREAK YOUNGER SON, WHO WAS READING FINE, TO MAKE HIM “GUESS” THE WORDS:  “So you hate pancakes?”/ “No, did you read the words I actually wrote? Why are you guessing totally separate and distinct sentences rather than just reading what I wrote?” Is it possible the answer is “Because I was systematically taught to do that?”

BLAMING THE HUSBAND IS VILE:  This is incredibly important information. Thank you to the reporter and hidden gem for posting. This blows up the narrative circulating about the husband being complacent.

THEY WANT QUESTIONS FROM EVERYONE, EXCEPT PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE:  In Defense of Bad Faith. “Ask a Trans Person Anything” did not mean Mia Hughes.

TURNING THE LIGHTS ON AND SEEING COCKROACHES SCATTER:  The militant far-left has spent years hiding in plain sight on http://Noblogs.org — the anonymous blog network that quietly powers antifa, anarchist, squat, and “solidarity” cells around the world. So on my own time, for free, I scraped the whole thing. Because I kick commie *** for fun and need no government funding or sanction for it.

UM:  India, “coasting on inertia”?
