Y'all need better arguments!

Bugs Bunny emphatically says "NO"

listening to a higher ed podcast unquestioningly hype up AI and the self-proclaimed non-higher ed person who is a C-suite leader at an ed-tech company says: "you have to embrace AI because it is here to stay"

CLIMATEWIRE: Trump enlists military to rescue coal The Department of Energy has identified more than three dozen coal plants that could power military installations, according to one official.

CLIMATEWIRE: Colombia plans summit to wind down fossil fuels The South American country is hosting an informal climate summit as progress stalls at U.N.-organized conferences.

America vs América

That's not really true though. If you're feeling sensitive about the public perception of your trans coverage, perhaps you should hire a trans reporter to cover it more accurately than your current reporters are capable of.

Gonna beg media not to just repeat Trump's obviously bullshit framing in the headlines. Tell readers the truth in the headlines.

"Trump Says Kennedy Center Needs Renovation, Despite Recent $250M Renovation"

Is the groundhog prepared to shovel the streets and sidewalks himself?

They used "anti-semitism" as a pretext to deport foreign-born students and chill free speech, and their deportation chief -- the one with the nonstandard Hugo Boss-style greatcoat -- was spouting anti-semitic insults at a US attorney

‘Backing down isn’t an option’: Minnesota ICE shootings mobilize Americans to join ICE observer groups The killings of Minneapolis residents Renee Good and Alex Pretti have inspired people across the US to document federal agents’ activities in their communities

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed.

ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

These were the people who held the careers of female scholars in their hands . This is who was shaping or epistemological world

It went "too far" in the sense of getting "too close" to the nexus linking depraved patriarchs globally.

What the Epstein files show is that across social domains--business, science, politics, education--men at the tops of their fields bond and compete for status through violent misogyny.

“Independent” is doing too much work in this first wave. They are arresting journalists and just like everything else they’ve done, they’re testing the limits of our resistance by starting wt vulnerable margins.

look at this fucking creep. there are children in this home.

Are fireworks after snow/ice events a thing? Have heard them a couple of times since the storm ended, and it's a first. If it was you, my dog and I wanna have a word

If you can watch this without smiling, you might not have a soul. 😁 #uswnt

it's boring as hell but data governance and regulation needs to be a central plank of Reconstruction 2

The first step of taking on social media companies is to develop much more comprehensive rules that platforms must conform to. Ideally, that process would be done collaboratively with likeminded countries cooperating on a set of enforceable standards that apply across markets like Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, Brazil, and beyond to make it harder for tech companies to wield their leverage against an individual country going it alone. Those rules should be comprehensive, looking at all aspects of platform design and operation. They could include reining in dark patterns that manipulate users, limiting if not outlawing aspects of algorithmic amplification of content, implementing high standards of moderation and larger penalties for breaches, and enforcement mechanisms that allow swift action when rules are violated, leaving the door open to blocking platforms that do not comply — as Brazil did to X in 2024.

If we want to take on the harms of social media, we need to start with much stricter social media regulation to change how the platforms are designed, how their algorithms surface content, and the threat they face when they don’t comply.

I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.

Hell yeah! Go Mustangs 💪
(a treat to see my alma mater in my feed)

hot take on the self-checkout-ification of everything: if healthcare providers want their voluminous forms filled out before I show up for an appointment, they need to do more to assure me I’m not clicking on a phishing link

If we are going to treat this as a sort of civil war, then one thing I would like everyone to keep in mind is the victors of the last one were nowhere near harsh enough in their dealings with the lead traitors.

Thank you CNN for pointing out that everyone opposed to this regime has normal, pro-social links to the organizations that make up a liveable society where you can do normal shit.
Next article you can talk about how the vice president, by contrast, is in nazi groupchats with minors

a queer woman lightly mocked an ICE officer so they shot her wife right in front of her. now they’re trying to justify it by making it a capital crime to mock them

in many ways that’s a core tenet of right-wing ideology: Lesser People should be forbidden (by force if necessary) to laugh at you

🎵Come out La Migra goons
In your stumbling platoons
Tell your wives how you ate shit on ice for quotas
Tell her how despite your guns
all you ever did was run
from the cold and frozen streets of Minnesota!🎵

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Stop, drop and roll for this debut column.

"The culture of fear created by Senator McCarthy and others served to silence ideas and beliefs that they disagreed with. The future is yet unwritten, but by understanding what political repression looked like then, we can recognize it and figure out how to fight it now."

I'm over the moon that @bakerdphd.bsky.social has come on board as an @insidehighered.com's columnist. Her smart, informed and considered voice is a welcome addition to the Opinions side of the house

There is going to be an after him time. It's crazy how many folks are completely burning down their reps and credibility. They have a $50+ billion endowment. What is the point of having F U money, if you're too scared to tell somebody F U?

a kind of reverse colonization
