It’s truly incredible that with the Americans and Israelis making up claims of potential Iranian WMDs, there is virtually no mention anywhere in most of the mainstream coverage so far that the *only* Middle Eastern state with undeclared nuclear weapon is Israel.
Jasmine Crockett concedes to James Talarico this morning: “With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominee. I'm committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect Democrats up and down the ballot." #TxSen
Yes: #NEH supports projects and moreover PEOPLE. Which is why it's all the more egregious that 1,400 grants were terminated and over 100 employees were fired in April 2025.
Support funding for NEH, but also please support justice for those who were economically harmed last year.

Just received this email. This is not a learning tool: expert/prof feedback is silly; "ready-to-use rewrites" are rewrites. And when students are told AI is okay for brainstorming, okay for proofreading, okay for feedback and use this, writing becomes more fixing, less thinking.
The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies. n.pr/4sig14N

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
Sedgwick’s prescription is “reparative reading,” a theory of more flexible sense-making that can hold truth and provide an antidote to the overwhelming paranoia of our times. While the conventional wisdom states, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean you don’t have enemies,” Sedgwick turns this formula on its head: “Just because you have enemies doesn’t mean you have to be paranoid.” Or to put it another way, having a direct understanding of systemic oppression (the healthcare system, police violence, the fascist state) does not condemn a person to a categorically paranoid point of view. To practice a worldview more expansive and more open to possibilities than paranoia does not mean you have to deny the reality or gravity of oppression.
Feeling paranoid about stochastic violence and weaponized media? Me too. That's why I can't stop thinking about this incredibly helpful essay by @littlewow.online in @flaminghydra.com about the idea of "reparative reading" as a corrective to the "paranoid style." flaminghydra.com/issue-511/
If you, as a social scientist, believe that AI is now a better social scientist than you, then (a) you’re probably right, and (b) sure sounds like a skill issue, y’know?

In the last decade, the Atlantic has not platformed a single trans person to speak about issues affecting them or the broader trans community. Not a single one. Yet, they have monthly screeds by Helen Lewis and endless money to pay random transphobic grifters to pump stuff like this out.

We’re in one of those situations where reporting and analysis of what has happened is really useful. And where “here’s what could happen next” will get a lot of clicks but is fundamentally almost useless.
Well, yes, trans people are getting drugs; yes, from entirely unregulated sources; yes, without counselling; yes, without blood tests; yes, they are self-administering; yes, without clinical oversight; yes, risking long term harm; yes, it is highly suboptimal.
