Ten years ago Tami, Roy, and I released a movie we made of antibiotic resistance evolving in real time. I thought maybe a couple thousand people tops would see it. I couldn't have imagined it would be seen millions of times, and be taught from middle school through the graduate level worldwide

Today we honor the memories of those who were lost on 9/11 by doing what America's attackers and detractors could never do. By building. We build an America that is bigger. More inclusive. More empowering. More just.

DHS posted a racist graphic attacking "Mr. Singh," a last name that many Sikh Michiganders carry proudly. It is unacceptable to demonize and profile entire communities. No Michigander should be targeted simply because of their name. Hate and bigotry will not stand.

BREAKING WaPo: A federal judge just ruled that the Trump admin broke the law when it ordered a 50% cut in FEMA employees — including thousands of on-call workers who respond to disasters.

Federal judge rules Trump plan to cut FEMA by 50 percent was unlawful

The judge said the plan, put together by DHS, appeared as if it was "pulled from thin air" and would impede FEMA's ability to fulfill its legally mandated duty to respond to disasters.

Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result. Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE. www.npr.org/2026/09/11/n...

They cleaned up ground zero. Now many are hiding from ICE

After 9/11, thousands of rescue and cleanup crews went to work at ground zero. They were exposed to toxic debris and experienced psychological trauma. Today, many say they live in fear of deportation.

So rather than increase faculty payroll and lower student:teacher ratios, UMass would rather spend it on Claude. I would argue that a better investment would be hiring 100-200 tenure-line faculty.

Asheesh Kapur Siddique@asheeshks.org · 2d ago

According to a meeting I was in, UMass estimates that if the capacity of these tools were maxed out by student, faculty, staff users, the total cost to the university would be $130,000/day, or about $47 million / year.

If you create child porn you should be prosecuted. If you create child porn with AI you should be prosecuted. If you faciliate the distribution of child porn you should be prosecuted. If you're a trillionaire and you create or facilitate the distribution of child porn you should be prosecuted.

Over six months, we tracked the appearance of child sexual abuse material on X. We found images from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's database, which is considered one of the most highly vetted and which many tech companies block on upload. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/t...
