Russian National Alexey Komov
Assisted Sanctioned Oligarch
Konstantin Malofeyev
In Schemes To Employ An American Citizen To Launch And Operate Russian Television Network
The Defendant Also Helped the Oligarch to Illegally Transfer a $10 Million U.S. Investment to a Business Associate
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said:
“As alleged, Alexey Komov facilitated the efforts of Konstantin Malofeyev
– an oligarch closely tied to Russian aggression in Ukraine
who has been determined by OFAC to have been one of the main sources of financing for the promotion of Russia-aligned separatist groups operating in the sovereign nation of Ukraine
– to flout U.S. sanctions.
The unsealing today of the Indictment against Komov is yet another reminder that this Office will continue to hold those accountable that seek to undermine the United States’ national security goals.”

The legal kerfuffle between the city of Tucson and Davis-Monthan Air Force Base over PFAS could be big. Like, Supreme Court big. I'm talking legal-podcasters-hair-on-fire big.

"Further, while often resisting government intrusions, libraries also commonly operate as an arm of the state. For example, Lexis-Nexis, a library vendor used in many libraries, is participating in a project to assist in building ICE’s Extreme Vetting surveillance system."

This is a classic example of presenting a piece of evidence as if it obviously supports the conclusion - even though it actually doesn't - and hoping no one notices.
(1/?)
Anyway, coming back to the point, RELX, or whichever of their subsidiaries is working for ICE, is most certainly acting as an arm of the state. But libraries have about as much choice in using services controlled by RELX, as people treated as livestock by ICE have in using theirs.
(4/?)
The claim that this somehow makes libraries complicit in anything that RELX or ICE do is the sort of bullshit rhetoric I expect from shock bloggers, and social media hot takes. But this claim survived peer review, in a scholarly journal specifically about librarianship;

This exactly the kind of dross peer review is supposed to filter for. Failure to do so undermines the credibility of the rest of the paper, its author, whoever reviewed it, and the whole journal.

At least some of these were processed by Sean Doran (I suspect most were), whose work I've gotten in the past. He accepts donations here:

the still rapidly evolving virus
It's not going to evolve any slower. Like other coronaviruses and the flu virus, rapid evolution is a key trait in its genome. We need to acknowledge this and plan accordingly. Regular boosters with updated vaccines is how to keep it manageable. Now that it's global and has spread to other species, I don't know of any way to eradicate it so management could be the best we can do at present.
