You’re mad about attacked free speech but @propublica.org did a story about the colleges in Florida and the professsors under attack are ON THIS platform

they have less followers than him

So I mean glad you feel good about

But then what

You mad about free speech on campus but didn’t talk to ANY of the Black female professors targeted BEFORE Nikole Hannah Jones

And still don’t

but want to share the the stories that only show white professors …

Ari didn’t do that

Ari Cohn isn’t gonna change he’s WELL paid to not.

Are you gonna go talk to that white trans person who has a meltdown anytime they get talked to about race .. you didn’t it gave us Brianna Wu

Because yeah those first stories weren’t in the times or the post

They were in @thenation.com

Greenwald and Tabibi were from the left

And yall can go all you want at FIRE but they aren’t accountable to you and are PROUD of it

What are you doing about the person who is

Because again and I know the hate when I say it and it make me sound bad and blah blah my own safety

But it’s happens to be the TRUTH

Much of the modern dismissal and bias towards the people FIRE et al target

Started from the Left with shit like Toxic Twitter and save our discourse

And I enjoy this thread but these aren’t one side of the political spectrum

These are specific identity groups that let’s be bluntly honest the “left” at its most organized has also been kind of terrible to to when they tried to say this

Because at this point while we feel super good yelling .. how are you leveraging that for the people in the camps, being pulled off the street, plunged into destitution

Because while yes we CAN do both , we aren’t and every minute we spend on this is time we’re not spending on the others

But fighting shitty people as opposed to actually fixing the inequalities that enabled them is an American discursive pass time

We all piling on Ari Cohn but every leftist/ respectable and trans person and feminist et all

Who keep making their bread and flipping out when called on it and helped make him more important than protesters

And the lack of reparations

We fixing THAT?!?

And let me extra out of pockent

A lot of your marginalized faves fed these students and others to the MILL

And constantly made their bread by having abusive explosive attacks at people more marginalized than them

To get on

And they need them to survive …

But you aren’t saying shit go them

But like okay oooh you’re mad at FIRE
but can the folks who experienced them FIRST …

Are you showing them their valued

Or

Is it still STILL at the end of the FUCKING day for all you hate the snark etc

does he get more attention to than the folk who warned you …

Oh yeah right

Or are we doing the same thing again where we think that yelling loud enough masks the fact that for all the bullshit

WE STILL ARENT REPAIRING OR PROTECTING THE TARGETS

because guess what yall and

Guess who told you FIRE was bullshit
The students who were pushed out

And cook go for Ari
But how you repairing it for the kids?

You also gonna do something about Jill Filipovich/ Laurie Penny / Lorenz

The people on MSNBC who were running through the tweets snarking a g Black women but will argue with Nazis
All the folks who platformed this

Be mad at Ari . And you should because screw that

But they spent ten years creating a financial and brain class aided by a lot of loud folks IN PLAIN SIGHT

That essentially targeted smart kids of color and queer kids .

And made studying folks make them Rich and us targets

The discourse can have all the “but but my degree and we were scared” but the fact was a lot of this started from the left a intelligentsia wanting to “listen” solely to shut up the Browns

And you being snarky and shitty doesn’t stop the fact you enabled that

Pretty much and we’re reaping the problem and the hurry to redo the narrative around who helped that happen and why

Ari Cohn is one of the worst examples of the “in the space” bias of tech and freedom rights

FIRE impressed the people whose ultimate concern was being smarter than everyone else … while understanding nothing

And now is pissed people may not be smarter but the remember the harm

You’re completely mis characterizing the critiques to avoid the fact the ratings were arbitrary at best, and while policy wonks loved it

You failed miserably at grounding it in people’s experience and now are doing the same thing you docked campuses for

i think the real, good faith criticism of FIRE is specifically that its college free speech rankings (and deplatforming database) are a complete mess with no real grounding in objective metrics, and yet they reflect a massive percentage of FIRE's contribution to the public discourse. 🧵

It’s pretty clearly leaning into moral panic territory if there’s more focus on social consequences for problematic speech than actual state repression, government censorship, or even compelled speech.

I need someone. Who will consent to be objectified because demon time doesn’t even BEGIN to describe

The student newspaper.
This fell. To the student. Newspaper.

You ain’t gotta process it heart.

gotta observe it .

You will never understand them if you have any empathy

which means at least its enterprise model will comply with the terms of EO-14319—preventing woke AI in the federal government—that will require them to suppress or distort factual information about “transgenderism.”

so, “my use case is different & special” openAI users—welcome to the epistemicide.

I love that song

Oooh

When I don’t mean to ?

Apparently amazingly fantastically I cast a magic spell

When I’m trying ?

Good lord I suck

God the police had some bangers

I wish as many people wanted to actually click on Teen Vogue stories as like a post about our work being good and important, because this post is almost at 20k likes and that would be pretty good traffic!

Marx himself was in process of reexamining around Slavery .

it’s not like it’s not IN THE LITERATURE

They just refuse to do it and they refuse to work from ambiguity or non authority
