People often miss this. Antisemitism may not be structural in the US today in the way anti-Blackness is, but overcoming the legalism of Judaism for the spirit of love of Christianity is the ur-narrative for so much left politics in the culturally Christian world. We need to guard against it.

Autism is not new. Detection, diagnosis, and treatment of autism are new. Additionally, Republicans at federal and state levels are gleefully yanking money out of public schools—the way to protect needed accommodations for children is to get a formal IEP, which often is bolstered by a diagnosis.

The amount of times I have been told that I, personally, am going to cost X, Y, or Z candidate the election because I critiqued their anti-trans position is incredible. It's never that their positions are going to cost them votes. It's that by pointing it out, I will.

I'm ambivalent. Getting rid of AI, fine, so long as the policy is clear what they mean by AI. ChatGPT and something like Speechify text-to-speech are both using AI, but text-to-speech has a place in learning as a disability accommodation and should not be refused to students.
