I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor ). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

People are out here underestimating the power of speeches like “I Have a Dream” wasn’t a speech. Staawp it. You look silly. Speeches have the power to move people—that’s why they want to bully people into silence, and that’s why we’re going to be louder than ever.

Good morning.
Listen, you have to just decide.

They are not taking the Black Smithsonian.

Resolve it in your spirit.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

That’s a wrap on the #FYP: For Your Power Bus Tour!

We drove across Alabama sharing space, breaking bread, listening to stories, and making sure folks knew their power, their rights, and their options. This isn’t the end—this is just the beginning.

the deep white hot anger I’m feeling at how little we care about people and the history that shows us how dangerous this all is— this is the act used to pave the way for WWII Japanese American incarceration

Jen Rubin and Mike Zamore discuss detention of Columbia activist Today in Manhattan, a federal judge will hear arguments over the legality of the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate who organized and participated in pro-Palestinian protests.

We're fighting to free Mahmoud Khalil and protect all of our First Amendment rights.
