Sure seems like CA needs a Stand Your Ground law. A reasonable person could be afraid of grievous harm from a masked man impersonating an LEO in this situation. They ought to be able to defend themselves.

super disingenuous to complain the convention was mostly empty without mentioning why that is: because team frey instructed it to be that way

If you think a group of workere should strike (or not strike) itβs very simple.
1. Get a job doing that work
2. Organize your workplace
3. Convince your coworkers to do that thing
4. Do it your self (together)
Until you do all that, donβt tell other workers they should strike

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?

The appalling smearing of Zohran Mamdani as 'anti-semitic'
It's Islamophobic. It's racist. It's also completely untrue.
My latest β The accusations of antisemitism against NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani have been some of the most appalling smears Iβve seen in my years covering politics.
I wrote about the concerted attack, & pressure for American Jews to define a local political race through the lens of Israel:

Soren is endorsed by the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation
I am thrilled to be endorsed by the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation! In this moment when our communities, and especially working people, are under attack, we need to come together and take action for racial, social, and economic justice.

Hey Elonππ½ Every single person in this country deserves to know their rights. That's legal.
Maybe you should brush up on our laws given the fact you're breaking them to steal American's sensitive data.

The absolute glee some are displaying in blaming Palestinians, and people who protested on their behalf, for their own ethnic cleansing is a strategic error (obvs you target the decision maker), a political error (obvs you need those votes), and a moral error (obvs fix your hearts or die).
