AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION- Undergraduate summer diversity institutes accepting applications for 2021

 

Greetings DAVID,   If:  you know any students from backgrounds underrepresented in philosophy who are interested in pursuing further study in the field, I encourage you to share this call for applications for undergraduate diversity institutes in philosophy with them.   Diversity institutes support students from groups underrepresented in the discipline of philosophy as they hone their philosophical interests, become part of a community, and gain insight into the graduate admissions process. Further details about each institute, including eligibility and application requirements, may be found on the APA page listing summer undergraduate diversity institutes in philosophy. Though these institutes are typically residential programs that occur at university campuses, most institutes will be held virtually this year.   The following diversity institutes will host a program in summer 2021:   Philosophy in an Inclusive Key Summer Institute (PIKSI)-Rock — June 3–June 11, 2021 Virtual Applications are due February 5, 2021.

REMEMBERING TRUMP. PAST POSTS THAT REMIND US OF THE "REAL DONALD TRUMP."- THE RESISTENCE.

 FROM THE FIRST IMPEACHMENT.

DONALD JR. ADMITS IT: "THE RESISTANCE" AGAINST DICTATOR DADDY.

THE FOLLOWING IS FROM A TWEET BY DONALD TRUMP JR., ABOUT MITT ROMNEYS DECISION TO VOTE GUILTY TO CONVICT DONALD SENIOR IN HIS SENATE TRIAL.

“He was too weak to beat the Democrats then so he’s joining them now, He’s now officially a member of the resistance & should be expelled from the @GOP.”

HISTORICALLY, WHEN THE TERM "RESISTANCE" IS USED, WHAT DOES IT GENERALLY REFER TO?

FROM WIKIPEDIA:
"Resistance movements during World War II occurred in every occupied country...AND INCLUDED GERMANS OPPOSED TO HITLER AND THE NAZI PARTY."

"Anti-Soviet partisans may refer to various resistance movements that opposed Soviet Union and its satellite states at various periods during the 20th century."

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE, AND IT PROVIDES US WITH MORE EVIDENCE THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TAKES THEIR LEAD FROM DICTATORS LIKE HITLER, STALIN, POL POT, MAO ZEDONG ETC.

REMEMBERING SOME OF THE GOOD, WHILE REMOVING THE EVIL #1.

DONALD TRUMPS 2ND IMPEACHMENT IS A VICTORY FOR THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVE 

THAT LIVING IN A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC IS BETTER THAN A FASCIST STATE. 

SO WHILE WE TRY TO ELIMINATE THE LEGACY OF A SELF-CENTERED BLOWHARD, HIS 

CORRUPT CRONIES, AND THEIR RUSSIAN ALLIES, LET US REMEMBER THINGS THAT 

THEY COULD NOT DESTROY.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

#1.

IN PRAISE OF MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA AND WISCONSIN.

SINCE TRUMP AND HIS REPUBLICAN/FASCIST/RUSSIAN ALLIES CONTINUE TO MAKE ACCUSATIONS ABOUT ELECTION FRAUD WITHOUT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE, AND THE INTELLECTUAL AND MORAL COWARDICE THAT IS EXHIBITED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERSHIP IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE U.S. CONTINUES TO AID TRUMP BY THEIR INABILITY AND/OR UNWILLINGNESS TO DO, WELL, ANYTHING TO COUNTER HIS IRRATIONAL AND NARCISSISTIC DRIVEL, MEANS IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER 2020 ELECTION RECAP, but first...

Fortunately, for all Americans, Democrats in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, victims of the 2016 Election Debacle that handed an Undeserving Donald Trump the White House, refused to allow a repetition of Bogus Returns to put an Unqualified Demagogue back into office. By instituting safeguards, they prevented the Republicans from again stealing the Electoral Votes that come with victory in each state. Trumpians hate fair and honest elections, EVIDENCED BY HIS TEMPER TANTRUMS WHEN HE REALIZED HIS ALLIES COULDN'T ALTER THE RESULTS IN 2020, THE WAY THEY HAD IN 2016. TRUMP COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT HONORABLE ELECTION OFFICIALS STILL EXIST IN THESE STATES.

It's too bad that other states seem to lack the Capability and/or Honesty to ensure that their elections actually record and publish honest numbers. IS IT CORRUPTION, INCOMPETENCE, LAZINESS etc. THAT PREVENTS "DEMOCRATS" IN SOME STATES FROM FOLLOWING POLICIES THAT WOULD PREVENT ANOTHER "DONALD TRUMP" FROM ILLEGALLY SEIZING THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENCY? ARE THEY DEMOCRATS IN NAME ONLY, WITH THEIR ALLEGIANCE REALLY GOING TO FAR RIGHT FANATICS, RUSSIANS, OR FASCISTS...

FROM: Friday, June 22, 2018: WHAT PROGRESSIVES MUST LEARN: TRUMP COULD CARE LESS, BECAUSE NO ONE HOLDS HIM ACCOUNTABLE.

 

Progressives, no matter where found, must understand, and not forget, that the REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT EXISTS TODAY IS DIFFERENT FROM THE PAST. THOSE WHO DEFEND DONALD TRUMP, NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS OR DOES, ARE THE ONES WHO LED THE CHARGE TO NOMINATE HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE,  WITH THE GOAL OF TURNING THE U.S. INTO A COUNTRY OF UNEDUCATED AND ILL-MANNERED BUFFOONS, WITH REALITY TV BEING THE SOURCE OF ALL "KNOWLEDGE."

UNFORTUNATELY, THE LACK OF MORAL AND INTELLECTUAL COURAGE THAT HAS INFECTED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THE LAST FEW YEARS HAS TURNED A NATIONAL JOKE INTO A WORLDWIDE TRAGEDY, AND HAS PLAYED RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO THINK AN EDUCATED PUBLIC IS IN DIRECT THREAT TO THE REALM OF KING TRUMP. 

CASE #1-  THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL TREATMENT OF MERRICK GARLAND, PRESIDENT OBAMAS SELECTION FOR THE SUPREME COURT.

CASE #2-  IN 2016 BOGUS ELECTION RETURNS FROM KEY STATES ARE IGNORED,  HANDING AN UNDESERVING DONALD TRUMP THE OVAL OFFICE.

CASE #3- NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF DONALD TRUMPS CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.
GET RICH SCHEMES, HEALTH INSURANCE, BUSINESS REGULATIONS etc.

CASE #4-  THE ALMOST COMICAL ATTEMPT BY TRUMP AND HIS CRONIES TO ALIENATE EVERY OTHER COUNTRY OR GOVERNMENT ON EARTH. (EXCEPT RUSSIA OF COURSE.)

CASE #5-  THE MUELLER REPORT- WHERE THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS WERE NEVER ANSWERED, THE FAULT OF BOTH PARTIES.

THE SMALL NUMBER OF EXTREMIST FACTIONS WHOSE RISE TO POWER WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BEEN DRAMATIC. IT HAS ALSO BEEN THE RESULT OF THE PARTIES INCREASING USE OF INTOLERANT AND HATE FILLED PROPAGANDA TO STIGMATIZE THE OPPOSITION, AND MISLEAD THE PUBLIC. IN ADDITION, A FRAUDULENT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IS OF LITTLE CONCERN, AS LONG AS THE OUTCOME IS IN THEIR FAVOR.

AS YOU READ THE LIST ABOVE, ASK THE FOLLOWING: AT WHAT TIME, SINCE THE ONSET OF HIS CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT, HAS DONALD TRUMP BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE, BY EITHER PARTY, FOR ANYTHING HE HAS DONE OR SAID.
