Jesus Flipped Tables, Y’all Took Selfies: A Sermon for the 'No Kings' Generation This Substack is reader-supported.

Yesterday was the second No Kings protest, which means the first one didn’t move the mountain. 👀

We’ve mastered the choreography of dissent but not the labor of liberation. Today’s sermon is for everybody who’s tired of pretty protests and performative justice.

#DoOneThing $: If you usually get a tax refund, see if you can adjust your W2 to reduce withholding. The government borrowed YOUR money interest-free. If you can reduce your withholding, put the difference into a dedicated savings account (most banks will set these up) and don't spend it until your taxes are paid next year. YOU get the interest, not Trump. time: there is a firehose of bad info on the right AND the left. Become an educated consumer: https://princetonlibrary.org/guides/misinformation-disinformation-malinformation-a-guide/ prep: Thursday is John Lewis's fifth yahrtzeit.

I love this. I’m the lady at work who insists on reading things in full myself and won’t use the summaries. 😂

Academic freedom in the United States has found itself periodically under siege, but the current attacks from the federal government raise a new level of alarm. nyer.cm/u405qvQ

Trump administration targets academic journals with attorney letter, proposed funding cuts Budget plan would kill two CDC journals, while U.S. prosecutor accuses some nongovernmental publications of being “partisans”

So here we have a guy whose main achievement is spreading lies on Russian state television trying to block life-saving American medical research and intimidate American scientists.

Ratings agency S&P Global said Tuesday that SoftBank’s “financial condition will likely deteriorate” as a result of the OpenAI investment and that its plans to add debt could lead the agency to consider downgrading SoftBank’s ratings. None of the startups with early leads in generative AI have shown they can operate profitably, and the sector is pouring tens of billions of dollars into data centers based on assumptions, not yet proven, of a future in which AI rapidly permeates the globe. Early tech leaders often falter—a point SoftBank learned when it made a dot-com era bet that Yahoo would be the dominant force in search.

It feels like it should be a bigger story that S&P Global is considering downgrading SoftBank's credit rating due to their investment in OpenAI, saying that their "financial condition will likely deteriorate" as a result of their investment.

Trump signed away my identity, but forgot biology doesn't follow orders Opinion: As Trump and his ilk continue to use biology to defend "two sexes," a writer reminds us of gender diversity existing in nature.

AI, education, writing, and OER is my usual beat, but here I share my husband's first publication, "Reflections of a Transgender Doctor on the Executive Order" or "Trump signed away my identity, but forgot biology doesn't follow orders" in @theadvocatebr.bsky.social.

This is important research on #Academic Integrity and scientific #fraud. Please help us share this one widely. It is really worth reading!

We’re proud to represent members of the public health and science community in suing NIH over its illegal, unscientific, and undemocratic cancellation of research on now-forbidden topics like gender identity and DEI. Here are 5 things you can do to #KilltheCuts & #SaveOurScience ⬇️ @apha.org

A week after my remarks on the Senate floor I am more energized then ever to continue to fight for Americans on Medicaid, Americans worried about Social Security, Americans looking for opportunity in their local economy.

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

Enough internet. Time to cheer myself up by writing about how dark energy will eventually destroy the universe.

The Trump Administration does not care about your children. The threats to the Department of Education and the recent closures to Head Start offices here in Chicago and across the country only serve to take important funds from families in need to support Trump's golfing habit.

So good. 🤡

@brendanvduke.bsky.social

so as i understand it the president has driven an improvised fertilizer bomb directly into the foundation of global trade?

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

Thank you Patty! It's time for new Senate leadership!

Can’t help but feel that if President Bernie Sanders pulled this move the entirety of American business would try to get him pushed out of office immediately.

This is what happens when people speak up.

Roomful of people at a conference discussing AI in post secondary education in Canada.

So lucky to be in Calgary for #aicademyhesa . Canadians are doing brilliant and thoughtful work with AI in higher education. #aieducation
