Faculty senates passed mutual academic defense compacts and resolutions to reject loyalty compacts, but admin rolled their eyes. AAU has engaged in active betrayal and every member institution that does not attempt to censure AAU leadership should be presumed complicit. Unionize and join @aaup.org

My lord at this point it’s either incompetence or collusion. any university president who thinks they can “work” with the Trump regime lacks fitness for the job.

I sincerely believe that men cannot handle this. women may be falling in love with their chat bots, too. But I don't think they are categorically attached to its flattery to the same degree.

YouTuber Hank Green Admits He Has Unhealthy Relationship With AI After Facing Backlash Over Recent Video 'The level of dopamine I've been getting from interacting with LLMs is not healthy for me,' said Green

When you slow down and think about it you realize it's ten times worse than it seems. Sure it's farcical, but it's also a brutal legal attack on a man they knew to be innocent, done to distract from their own thievery and incompetence and as a flex to terrify anyone who might make them look bad.

Do not use Minneapolis organizers as the peaceful good example so you can smear the Prairieland defendants for their “violent” tactics. Alex Pretti was also armed. The MN 15 are being indicted for related tactics and strategy. So much is wrong with this piece, but that especially sticks in my craw.

Months I put up with these people’s nonsense. Months.

In an era of a fascist takeover, unlimited corruption, death squads waging war on American cities, aggressive wars of choice, endless war crimes, a child sex ring involving the president, etc, centrists are finally taking action: to attack the left. The only centrist goal is to suppress the left.

Adam H Johnson@ahjohnson.bsky.social · last wk.

Centrists in Congress (anonymously) threatening to leave this Democratic Party. James Carville calling for a schism. Top Dems refusing to endorse Dem primary winners. Pouty (also anonymous) pro-Israel donors in MI calling for a donor strike—I wrote about the emerging centrist Uncommitted Movement.

There's an irony in the fact that, to make her argument that Sociology has sacrificed science for activism, Ms. Paul cherry-picks quotes that support her views. 1/

DSA is a democratic organization. The Democratic Party is not. If you are a member of DSA by being active you can greatly impact the organization on a local and national level. National asks for member input on key questions. Any member can be a nat delegate. Any member can propose local resolutions

Since 2020, at least 51 ICE and CBP officers, agents, and contractors have been convicted or accused of sexual misconduct — 34 of them for crimes against children. These are the masked men kidnapping women and children off the street into unmarked vans and disappearing them into concentration camps.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

it does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption

Haley Stevens and AIPAC aren't even hiding the evidence. At least don't be so sloppy and reckless about it. Shame on everyone who cashed the check and decided to use their platform for this. But hey, $40 million buys a lot... maybe even a Michigan primary.

I hurt myself reading the Emily Oster take on the cyclospora outbreak and as someone who has changed what she's eating not at all - I still think her take is wrong. You SHOULD be concerned because of what it means in terms of erosion of food safety.

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.

stop. if you think the existence of a warrant is part of the conversation in any way, you cannot, by definition, argue that it makes any difference whether the guy they killed had a warrant or not. because right guy or wrong guy, an arrest warrant isn't a death sentence.

This, in a nutshell, is Democratic centrism. "Let's not say anything true about the fascist that just died."

It is genuinely heartbreaking to see all of the people losing SNAP benefits. In West Virginia, 14,000 SNAP participants have lost their benefits. In Arizona, it’s 500,000. That’s not a typo. Half a million people in AZ no longer have nutrition assistance. Republicans strike again.

14K West Virginians have lost food assistance because of Big Beautiful Bill changes • West Virginia Watch

With some exceptions, recipients of SNAP have been required to do at least 80 hours per month of work, training or volunteering.

Why was Lorenzo Araujo stopped? Federal agents had surveilled a property connected to one of the men they sought and had seen 2 white vans there. When they returned on Tuesday, “they observed a white van with an individual who resembled the target.” Stop based on: Driving a white van while Latino.

Jennie Coughlin@jenniecoughlin.bsky.social · 4w ago

The agents were not wearing body cameras, according to the spokeswoman. Before trying to stop the van, the agents had looked into its owner and learned it was Mr. Araujo, who did not have legal status in the United States, according to the two people familiar with the case.
