You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.
If you find the assault on USAID and accountability infuriating, please join me today at 4.30 EST as I interview the former Inspector General of USAID, Paul Martin today, either in person (in Ann Arbor) or live streaming. Details:

ok so sorry more posting about AI and academia because I evidently I have a bug up my ass about this today: imo pre-registration needs to become even more widespread and basically de facto mandatory, because LLMs are basically HARK machines. Which means it needs to be easier to do.
Also what a sick sick man. He was wealthy while she was working class. He extorted HER.
Big bro’s teammates are dead pull so he got *lots* of action. He got a good 35-40 minutes in in left today, this after his *own* two practice. Pretty good way to work on tracking the ball and learning to hit the cut off man! Baby siblings benefit so much from their older siblings man. It’s not fair!
My 5yo is pretty good at baseball for his age. The biggest reason for that he came out of the womb obsessed with sports, but not far behind that reason is his big brother. Case in point was today where big bro’s 10u travel team was a man short so he got some time in left right behind big bro at 3rd.
The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?
And declines in student achievement among Hispanic and Spanish-speaking students, both U.S. and foreign born.

This seems very very bad. I haven’t finished reading but it looks like his candidacy should be done.

And there’s more! It hasn’t stopped since Rahm’s left office: prospect.org/2024/11/19/2...
it was commonly thought that the way you got a charter school approved was to make donations or gifts to Rahm’s campaign or those he favored.
Hilariously, well after I heard this was how it worked, the heads of both of the largest charter school networks *and* his public School CEO went to prison.
*Especially* Mississippi. This place bears the brunt of so many jokes but working class Mississippians are folks than for generations have lived under the thumb of a deeply corrupt provincial ruling class that represses news, education, health, and every bit of their well being. Support these folks.
When Rahm was mayor and facing an election threat from Chuy Garcia, I was in a coffee shop in a progressive black neighborhood when two black CPD officers walked in and whispered to a pastor that orders came down to tow cars near the local polling place on election day. I got so many stories bro.

Thanks!
The flyer for my Chicago street gang study is done! Word to Kyla on my research team, the coolest undergrad Econ student ever!
Siblings are so different from each other yo, each child has introduced an entire different dimension into our home. My oldest won 7th grade Ms. STEM Atlanta, my middle kid won the state social studies fair, and the 5yo is so good at baseball he’s playing 2 years up in the city’s hardest league.
Lol nope, I’ve tried so many times to remember
When I was 15 I got invited to testify at an Illinois state senate hearing on how middle income households were dealing with rising tuition and got into a loud extended shouting match with a state senator who tried to cut me off. It got covered on the news.
Haaaaard same here man. Behavior I just don’t get.
Solidarity to the NYU faculty members as they prepare to strike.
University leadership must offer a deal that meets the moment: Stronger job security, higher wages, and academic freedom protections.
NYU, it’s time to give CFU-UAW a fair contract and also pay your RAs!

This is 12 thousand percent why any politician or pundit (cough yglesias cough cough) arguing for that democrats should take immoral policy positions because of focused grouped mass public opinion has it backwards.
Public opinion is *shaped* by mass politics. It’s not exogenous dumbass.
lol he must have dropped an n bomb lol
Peace out!
Lolll
