New: 3 yrs ago I published exposé revealing Richard Hanania used pseudonym to write for Nazi sites Ever since I've watched centrist media rehabilitate him, accepting his ludicrous claim to have left white nationalism behind. My look at what it means, for @marisakabas.bsky.social' The Handbasket

You don’t have to hand it to Richard Hanania
The so-called "former" white supremacist's work doesn't show accountability—or that he's actually moved on from his earlier views, Christopher Mathias writes.

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

Another update: She has updated her goal to $2400 (up from $1800) due to additional bills, if anyone can spare. But the $1800 donated thus far will go a huge way towards solving the immediate problem! Many thanks to everyone who has donated.

I’m utterly uninterested in “debates” about whether AI can do things well. I wouldn’t care if it could. 1. It stole from me. 2. I prefer me having my job to a computer having it. 3. I don’t teach “with” Lockheed or Raytheon; why wld I teach with Anthropic or OpenAI?

There’s a genuine gaslighting element to forcing faculty to debate whether to teach with AI. If someone broke into my house & stole from me, my employer wouldn’t ask me to work with them. But that’s what AI did. So, no.

“But what about the need to teach students to be literate in AI?” In 33 yrs of journalism & 15 of teaching, I’ve learned that there are any number of lawyers, doctors, politicians, generals, & CEOs—& yes “elite” students—who are only semiliterate in their native tongue. Let’s worry about that.

America is praying for Austin. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem we're not willing to solve ourselves. God moves and works through us. God has no other hands but our hands. We must act.

They also tased and tackled him for no reason. He said "Sorry" and couldn't speak English. He was holding 2 shower curtain rods as walking sticks. He spent 15 months in jail only to be released to die alone in the cold. You should be livid after reading this. They killed him bc they could.

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license. They can't even escape this by moving to another state.
