ICE assaulting a pregnant woman.
Covering their license plates with fake spray-on snow to hide the numbers.
Getting pelted with snowballs by the crowd and responding with pepper spray — which only increased the snowballs.
Just this afternoon’s local news.
Video of the snowballs (CW: person being assaulted, dragged)

Good Morning #Canada
December 15th, 1964, the Canadian House of Commons votes 163 to 78 to approve the red Maple Leaf flag. The vote put an end to years of conflict over the Liberals proposing a new flag, and gave Canada a new symbol for its upcoming 100th birthday celebration. In 1960, Lester B. Pearson, then Leader of the Opposition, declared that he was determined to solve what he called “the flag problem.” To Pearson, this issue was critical to defining Canada as a unified, independent country. As the newly elected Prime Minister in 1963, Pearson promised to resolve the question of a new national flag in time for Canada’s centennial celebrations in 1967. Traditionalists fought for their beloved Union Jack while a younger generation wanted a new modern design to represent Canada. Thousands of designs, some truly ugly, were considered and rejected, including Pearson's preferred flag. I think we did OK in the end.

“The images and data broadcast by the international media do not represent even one percent of the reality, because the information simply does not reach them.”

I've been giving some thought to what needs to happen in the US once the current political and human rights nightmare comes to an end. It's pretty obvious that all of the guard rails we had in place to keep power from concentrating into one person's hands failed, miserably. It will eventually end, history kind of shows that, but the big question is will it end peacefully or violently?
A symbolic source of contention is the way that Trump has slapped his name and image on ev…

faculty_hiring: Faculty hiring networks (Comp. Sci., Business, History)
Three networks of faculty hiring in Computer Science Departments, Business Schools, and History Departments. Each node is a PhD-granting institution in the respective field, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2013). All data collected from faculty public rosters at the sampled institutions.
