my meanest take is that I will trust academics on radicalism and political organization when they have fixed through collective action the academic publishing system.
a hot take about academia: it is both too activist and not activist enough. the endless focus on problematizing critiquing, etc etc often degenerates into navel gazing, while there is often a lack of high-quality outcome oriented empirical work on "what could make social institution XYZ work better"
Unfortunately, reality is only apparent *after* elections.
Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!
If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.
We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

Wow. Just wow.
"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

President Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. could step in to disarm Hamas — “quickly and perhaps violently” — if the organization did not do so itself, a potential vulnerability in the ceasefire agreement.
Trump says U.S. will disarm Hamas if it does not do so itself
Hamas has not yet publicly agreed to or signed anything that specifies how it would disarm, but Trump suggested he had received verbal assurances the group would.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."
What is this lede??? Being a fascist stooge is hard work? Pity poor Lindsey Halligan, an inept corrupt attorney who should be disbarred.

Justice Anthony Kennedy tells @npr.org's @ninatotenberg.bsky.social "very worried" about our country, and that "Democracy is not guaranteed to survive."
Kennedy wrote Citizens United and was the fifth vote in the rest of the Roberts Court's anti-democratic decisions.

The problem is summarizing things repressive states do - all of them - and then say "well, fascist states do it too." Attack the press? Yes. Cult of personality? Sure. And on and on. But that's like comparing the USSR in 1980 with the USSR in 1930. The same, on the face of it, but VASTLY different.
@radiofreetom.bsky.social would love to hear why this is wrong. Is it simply that Trump does not have the state capacity/some checks on power remain? Are we drinking Diet Fascism?
Honestly how many women are out there deciding who to date by how much they can bench?
4/ Cruz also appears to fudge it in letter to DOJ.
He described McCabe as having said Comey "approved—effectively authorizing the leak after the fact."
What is that?? Comey supposed to know that's the meaning of authorized? And when McCabe had his own authority to disclose. Good luck with that.

It would be very funny if after all the (misplaced) fear of Trump kicking of WW3 the Europeans did it instead.

One of the most important charts in the world - from
Rush Doshi in the New York Times.
Without its allies, the United States is woefully behind China in metrics of raw economic power.
Too bad the US president does not seem to get it.

Really do think this dismissive attitude is just dumb. It does actually matter if the demographic most likely to kill people, which is men ~16-40, are feeling alienated. Yes, even if you think it’s their fault, yes even if other groups are suffering as much or more. They’re the ones who pick up guns
oh no we are doing won't someone think of the loneliness male epidemic because somehow it's still the fault of not those men discourse again
Trump: "The other day, it was very interesting, they found $31 billion. They said, 'Sir, we've found 31.' I said, 'You mean positively, right?' They said, '$31 million more than we knew.' And they said, 'We don't know where it came from.' I said, 'Check the tariff shelf.'"
