Did you come here looking for links? Are you lost? Don’t worry, I’ve got some.

Social Justice

  * [This Georgia lawmaker is a champion for college men accused of rape. And he's winning.](http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/05/earl-ehrhart-title-ix-lawsuit) -- The way universities handle rape cases leaves much to be desired. Attempting to dismantle what they've established so that they can be even less effective doesn't help, though.
  * [1 in 10 CalTech students is homeless, study finds](http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-cal-state-homelessness-20160620-snap-story.html) -- Should probably go without saying that nobody should be homeless while in college (or ever, unless they want to be).

Politics

  * [Ken Burns Stanford commencement 2016](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEIFuEcjn_s&feature=youtu.be) -- A video of Ken Burns delivering the Stanford commencement speech this year. I normally don't link videos, but this one is quite worthwhile.
  * [Post-Brexit, UKIP wants tariff-free access to EU single market](http://www.politico.eu/article/post-brexit-ukip-wants-tariff-free-access-to-eu-single-market/) -- A gutsy ask, that's for sure. There's no way they'll get it.
  * [What happens now that the UK has voted Brexit - and what is Article 50?](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/24/britain-votes-to-leave-the-eu-what-happens-now-that-brexit-is-a/) -- Some nitty gritty details on what the UK Brexit referendum means.
  * [EU referendum: full results and analysis](http://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2016/jun/23/eu-referendum-live-results-and-analysis) -- Lots more Brexit information, if you're looking for it. Linked mainly for the proportional map, which is a lot more helpful than the geographical maps.
  * [Democratic clash over Palestine signals changing party](https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/rania-khalek/democratic-clash-over-palestine-signals-changing-party) -- Democrats may not hold together their pro-Israel coalition much longer.

Tech

  * [Federal court: the Fourth Amendment does not protect your home computer](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/06/federal-court-fourth-amendment-does-not-protect-your-home-computer) -- An absurd ruling by a federal district court. Hopefully will be overturned.
