“The investigations’ goal was to force the schools into lawsuits that would lead to court-ordered injunctive relief requiring the schools to disgorge money received by HHS and force the universities to make up the lost grant and contract fees from their endowments.” thehill.com/homenews/adm...

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

The real estate industry killed rent control before it could ever reach the ballot because they knew they were going to lose, with over 124,000 volunteer-collected signatures and over 60% support in poll after poll.

The Art Institute of Chicago has censured a faculty member for making an assignment that has “anything with Palestine in it,” in this case just quite literally the existence of a Palestinian. US higher education is actively policing Palestinian existence as ‘antisemitism.’

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

Rule: The use of AI is prohibited for aid in conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit. AI use is prohibited for any use for any purpose in any exam situation. Students may not upload course materials—including assignments, readings, slides, class recordings, or other class content—into generative AI systems. AI can be used for research on papers ONLY for the limited purpose of identifying sources, such as cases, statutes, or secondary sources. Students are responsible for the accuracy of their research and all other aspects of their submitted work. Citations to sources that do not exist will raise a presumption of prohibited AI use

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

Ida Bae Wells@nhannahjones.bsky.social · 4mo ago

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

Ida Bae Wells@nhannahjones.bsky.social · 4mo ago

There are people still living who fought — and watched their compatriots be murdered — for the passage of this act and to attempt to democratize America. To see it completed felled in the span of their OWN lifetime is just absolutely devastating.
