‘X-MEN '97’ Season 2 will have its world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival in June.

The series is now expected to release on Disney+ this Summer.

No amount of AI literacy can protect us because the problem isn’t knowledge, or how to use the system, it’s that the system exists in a culture that has been radically structured around white supremacy and patriarchy and your precious autocomplete incorporates it into its operations.

All of this is so dumb, yet consequential. If he had won in 2020 he could not be in power now- yet here we are....

Ahead of midterms, Trump’s DOJ is targeting voting in three of the most pivotal swing-state counties "They're basically acknowledging they got nothing," one elections expert said. "It's going to be used for propaganda and PR. And DOJ's law enforcement powers aren't supposed to be used for propaganda ...

With the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) last week demanding 2024 election records from Wayne County, Michigan, the Trump administration is now aggressively targeting the voting process in perhaps the country’s three most pivotal voting jurisdictions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

HOW BLACK WOMEN HAVE BEEN ESSENTIAL TO AMERICAN DEMOCRACY (AND WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM THEM)

To survive right-wing authoritarianism, Americans would be wise to learn from Black women who have always had to strategize, organize, & instigate from the margins.

"The hot take that AI will transform education is running about 780 papers ahead of the evidence. Why? Marketing. Buzz. FOMO. Yep. Evidence that it does anything unique to help kids? Not much."

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

This is what politics should look and sound like

That the president of the United States is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system!

As an organization, could AERA become more politically active? It seems like the nation’s leading educational institution should have a cadre of policy oriented paid staff members working with Congress.

I see that the party of “personal responsibility” is suggesting that Donald Trump is not personally responsible for "currently" being a crude, horrible person. Like this is new.

So they aren't personally responsible for voting for him—even though Donald has *always* been a crude, horrible person.

Again: the gun you keep in the home for “protection” increases your risk of homicide by 3-fold, of suicide by 5-fold, and for men, risk of suicide more than 10-fold

The second you bring a gun into the home you’ve dramatically increased the risk of death for your family 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

One major problem with granting the bad, false premise that every single major reason for "declining trust" in universities is internal to universities is that this totally ignores the common decline of trust in <all societal institutions> in over the last several decades:

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!

Seven Theses Against Viewpoint Diversity Demands for “viewpoint diversity,” a pillar of the Right’s strategy to remake higher education, collide with the pursuit of truth.

calls for “viewpoint diversity” are little more than demands for a quota system for political conservatives who otherwise could not hack it www.aaup.org/academe/issu...

When the expanded CTC expired in 2022, each $1,000 in lost benefits reduced consumer sentiment by 1.7 points—with effects lasting nearly two years—long after the checks stopped, from @jacobbastian.bsky.social and Melody Harvey www.nber.org/papers/w35059

The two sided treatment- do Trump

Lies from a "religious leader" to protect a corrupt president.

How convenient and rigged

More of this....

Remember this, though: Amazon has calculated that poisoning water & making restitution payouts for sickness & even death is CHEAPER than whatever they plan to make on the Data Center.

They’re STILL gambling with human lives with impunity.

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:

Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M

That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.

It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

So the big studios are abandoning the US and turning the staff workers into contractors to get out paying for healthcare.

The United States is losing one of its defining industries because of not having universal healthcare and the people are going to be even more vulnerable to the industry.

Cutting grants is cutting higher education which depends on these funds. It's all a coordinated attack to make us less healthy and less educated

I just paid my taxes. I believe in the value of good governance in a democratic society and contributing to that. Remind me what my taxes serve in the Trump “government” besides funding the U.S. military for his reckless adventures and handing trillions to the richest among us.

Target and Starbucks showing their full selves makes me happy for my ongoing boycott of these brands.

The end of the semester is--- A LOT (just like gearing up for a new term). However, the sweetness of the upcoming break is within reach
