Trump Administration Will Collect Social Media Handles from Legal Immigrants and U.S. Citizens The new requirement poses serious threats to free speech and privacy rights.

The 3 million-plus people applying for immigration status changes will now be required to provide the government with their social media handles. This expansive new requirement poses a serious threat to constitutional rights.

Devastated to learn that Univ of Texas at Austin is closing the American Studies dept. The years I spent there earning my PhD were formative, making me the teacher, thinker, and writer I am today. I've passed on what I learned at UT to thousands of students over the past 20 years. Just awful.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
When labs lose support,
Who checks what is true?

This is so awful! I did a lot of Model UN in high school and was an IR major in undergrad, and I used the CIA World Factbook a LOT for research. I hope it's backed up somewhere!

I don't get how a valid passport stops working? Is the passport revoked? Very strange and concerning

AGAINST AI -

on this sunday-est of sundays, syllabus-ing for a new term

you're not alone against the oligarch agenda of cognitive deskilling, data capture, surveillance, and bias:

we've got assignment ideas, memes, recommended readings, o' captain speeches, syllabus policies, and so much more against-a-i.com

Tell your elected officials to do everything in their power to stand up to Trump and prevent war with Venezuela.

Email your Members of Congress: act.indivisible.org/sign/stop-tr...

Call your senators: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

And call your representative: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

RFK Jr.'s legacy is a sea of tiny coffins in the US and internationally. Every day he remains in office, the harm he causes grows.

Call your representative β€” it's time Congress impeaches and removes RFK Jr. standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr
