Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.

It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

There is no “liberal” or “woke” overtaking of American higher ed. The dominant trend in our time is the opposite: widespread state censorship of academic freedom, free expression, and evidence-based learning or research. The dominant trend in higher education is authoritarian--full stop. 2/

The FCC's news distortion policy chills free speech, discourages broadcasters from covering controversial stories, and has been weaponized for partisan purposes. That's why former FCC chairs, commissioners, senior-level FCC staff are calling on the agency to "eliminate this dangerous tool entirely."

Disney has hiked prices and laid off hundreds of workers this year.

Yet Disney paid its CEO $41B in 2024. It just reported a 36% increase in net profits for parks and streaming. And it plans to double stock buybacks next year.

Remember this as Disney turns to AI.
Bob Iger says Disney+ will soon have AI-generated short form content from users

When did pedophilia become a partisan issue?
