Nobody should take messaging advice from me, but democrats might make a lot of mileage just by repeating facts about Iran like “it’s incredibly mountainous” and “there are 90 million Iranians”

It's not critics that say this. It's explicitly spelled out in the analysis of the bill written by legislative staff:

If passed cops and firefighters will have greater First Amendment rights than teachers, librarians, park workers etc.. A full on two-tiered system.

Happy birthday, Ghana. The country's independence in 1957 marked marked a new era in the history of the continent and the world - a Second Emancipation, one might say.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to forget or airbrush the 2017-20 period.

Previously the IDF has issued only much narrower evacuation orders for urban areas of Lebanon (specific buildings or blocks).

Now, as it did in Gaza, it’s telling people they need to get out of whole neighborhoods of suburban Beirut, as well as the entirety of southern Lebanon south of the Litani.

Someone said they should be called the "Zuckerberg pervert glasses" whenever possible and they're right.

Well done, @radiofreetom.bsky.social.

If you're a writer or researcher who thinks AI is better than you at your job, I believe you. I just don't think you should pretend like your skill issue affects me

Hey remember when my university investigated faculty last year for supposedly teaching "antisemitism" and turned up literally nothing?

Seems like we could flag this for the universities signing contracts with these companies. Students get access to this stuff with the seeming endorsement of the institution. Which should be embarrassing!

It's depressing to know, as we struggle with authoritarian state leaders censoring our courses, that many of our students are little fascists as well

I have seen this happening my entire adult life, and so have most of you, even if you didn't know it at the time.

solidarity with my faculty colleagues in public higher ed in this state, now more than ever, who are being told what they can and cannot say in the classroom by a political party full of people who want to live in Nazi heaven and are happy to say so

It's amazing how this always seems to happen with just one party's youth wing!
