(above an image of Trump) BROWN JUST BECAME THE LATEST UNIVERSITY TO CAVE TO TRUMP
(next to an image of Trump) TO GET THEIR RESEARCH FUNDING BACK, BROWN AGREED TO:
#1 Enforce locker rooms "strictly separated by sex" - using Trump's anti-trans executive orders, erasing trans and nonbinary students.
#2 Ban trans athletes by redefining "male" and "female" under Trump's terms.
#3 Hand over admissions and discrimination complaint data - giving the federal government surveillance access to internal records.
#4 Run a government-approved "antisemitism" survey - a tactic used to target pro-Palestinian student speech.
#5 Pay $50 million - the price tag for political obedience, dressed up as "workfoce development."
(alongside images of Trump and Brown’s campus) THIS ISN'T ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS. IT'S ABOUT CONTROL.
And Brown isn't alone. Columbia and Penn already cut backroom deals. Harvard has started gutting DEl and LGBTQ+ offices and programs behind closed doors.
THE MESSAGE FROM TRUMP IS CLEAR: COMPLY WITH OUR AGENDA, OR LOSE YOUR FUNDING.
CAPITULATION TO AUTHORITARIANISM IS UNACCEPTABLE.
YOU CAVE, WE CALL YOU OUT.
YOU RESIST, WE STAND WITH YOU.
If you're a student, alumni, parent, or faculty member - tell your school:
NO DEALS.
NO SURVEILLANCE.
NO HATE.
Elite universities are caving to Trump’s authoritarian demands. Here’s what you can do to fight back: indivisible.org/resource/eli...

My friend, Brent Beal, skewering his East Texas school district on the topic of book bans.
Seriously brilliant.
(Brent's comment starts at about 2:25:10, so should the video.)

I'm pretty sure that's AI generated but what the heck was the prompt?

So many WP community members being mistreated. And to what end? Nobody is served by excluding you guys from WordCamp.

With a few exceptions, of course, like, "What's the best SEO plugin?" But even then, all the people who've taken the time to review SEO plugins are probably being erased... or at least pushed to the periphery.

Which seems very different from a traditional search engine's core mission: to show you the most relevant resources (websites) for your query. Optimizing for that makes sense.
For the AI crawler, I'm not seeing the advantage for website owners?

My question, and the question most of my clients ask themselves, is do we even want AI bots crawling our sites? I know a few chatbots cite sources, but that's not really a chatbot's core function, which is to use the information its gathered to answer a question directly.

He's right that there's not a ton he can do as a Republican. But if he switched parties, and maybe brought a couple of other Republicans with him, then we'd definitely be on our way to a solution.
