We have plenty of reasons to be in the streets today. But one big one is we’re marching because Rep. Melissa Hortman can’t. We’re sending love to her family, and we’re sending rage toward Washington, D.C.

I suggest folks start putting "anti-AI statements" in their publications and talks. For example, state that you didn't use AI for any aspect of your work and that you didn't cite any studies that used AI. This shows worker solidarity and makes visible the collective action against AI.

Australia’s 2025 election is more than a political outcome. It is a philosophical reaffirmation that power, when untethered from fear, returns to its rightful source. The people. In casting their votes, Australians did not just choose leaders. They reclaimed authorship of their future.

The image shows a message written in white chalk on a cracked asphalt surface. The text reads:
“If you aren’t RESISTING, you are ASSISTING!”
The words “RESISTING” and “ASSISTING” are written in all capital letters for emphasis. The background includes a patch of dry grass at the top of the image. The overall tone is one of activism or protest.

Zelensky just provided a clear example of how you handle these pathetic assholes. You don’t allow them to distort the truth, you don’t back down, you don’t capitulate and do what they want. We could use some leaders like that and seeing it only makes that fact painfully more obvious.

We need to talk about Trump’s threat to defund universities unless they arrest and expel protesters. We’re watching classic fascistic institutional capture in real time and if this continues unabated we’re going to look up and live in a world without escape. The time to fight is now.

The temptation to duck & cover & hope the attack passes over us can be strong. But ultimately, they'll come back around for all of us. They are out to destroy the American university, which they view as a threat. So we might as well stand up, speak out, & fight back while we still have the chance.
