Scientists at a number of universities including Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say parents should not discourage their children from picking their noses because they contain 'a rich reservoir of good bacteria.
"I am over the debate on this campus between UC Berkeley conservatives and those on the left who still have energy to argue. Free speech has always been a tactic used by the state to grant the illusion that all voices in this nation are valued, yet there is a reason why Black female senators are discredited and why there is a white supremacist in the Oval Office. Somewhere in all our political discourse, we lost the point. We forgot that the people, the victims, the survivors of state violence we casually discuss are people living the experiences we have the privilege of discussing from a theoretical, omniscient perspective."WHAT?
"On the morning students woke up to Sproul Plaza flooded with fully armed police officers last Thursday, I was shocked and traumatized. I want to say that I do not feel safe on this campus. Living on the streets for six years did not prepare me for the violence of UC Berkeley. We cannot let free speech become a tactic that asks oppressed people to tolerate their oppressors in hopes of peaceful compromise. I guess I am just at the point where I’ve studied the genocide of my people and am tired of living it today. I do not understand how we can fill the streets demanding justice and then magically separate ourselves from the movement to protect conservative voices who want a soapbox and our death certificates. This has done nothing more than maintain the white supremacist, capitalistic and patriarchal nature that allowed colonizers to protect their power centuries ago and that has allowed their descendants to elect an openly racist, queerphobic, Islamophobic/xenophobic and anti-poverty adminstration"
"I’m not here for free speech. I’m here for Black lives. I’m here for undocumented lives, queer and trans lives, femme lives, incarcerated lives and poor lives. I am here for the lives Milo Yiannopoulos and Ann Coulter want dead. I am here for the lives Donald Trump wants to ban. I am here for the lives BCR cannot fit in their “socially moderate, fiscally conservative”fantasy."I hope you are as enlighten as I am to know a confused nose-ring, dress wearing bearded Mexican man who thinks he's a woman straighten out the hard working tax paying American about their awful right to free speech they have fought and died to protect is used to degrade them as White Supremacist! The writer is very ignorant of recent history to think that this article would not be censored and banned in many places if it weren't for the strong tradition of free speech and the legal protections for free speech - which she is trying to destroy.
“Ivanka Trump hawks family’s new development in Philippines as dad invites strongman to White House.- https://twitter.com/PeterAlexander.The hubbub ensued when venture capitalist Peter Brack posted an image of the billboard to his Twitter account, tying the advertisement to Trump’s decision to invite controversial Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte to the White House. Brack wrote in the tweet that has garnered over 25,000 retweets, and has not been retracted.
“Assistant to POTUS models in an ad for POTUS’s new Tower in Manila.” - https://twitter.com/peterbrackThe sign, however, is five years old. And according to a spokesperson for the Trump organization, the billboard was taken down years ago.

“Well… the murderous autocrat [Duterte] did green light a Trump condo in his capitol, and Ivanka got a modeling gig out of it so…” - “Total coincidence I’m sure.” - https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReidIt's like taking candy from a baby. I guess when you have spent your entire reporting career pushing gossip from the Tweeter and Facebook and failing to verifying stories, you are going to be easy pickings.
