NAACP President Derrick Johnson responds to the Supreme Court's decision to gut the Voting Rights Act:
“Today’s decision is a devastating blow to what remains of the Voting Rights Act, and a license for corrupt politicians who want to rig the system by silencing entire communities. The Supreme Court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy. This ruling is a major setback for our nation and threatens to erode the hard-won victories we’ve fought, bled, and died for. But the people still can fight back. Our best defense and offense is the ballot box, and we’re going to turn out voters in the midterm elections to make sure we can elect representatives who look out for us. Our democracy is crying for help.”

9. If your hospital ended trans youth care, you will want to send them this decision right away. And if your city or state has nondiscrimination laws, they will be implicated now that Hospitals lose their justification to discriminate.

An argument
An argument 
 
They placed us under blockade and prevented trade with even our closest of neighbors. It was for our own good they said. A kind of kick in the ass. To jumpstart a thirst for our own freedom. As if the prospect had never occurred to us. Some of us soon took up arms against our own leaders. Such arms as were at hand. Could be thrown together in haste. That provided the bravest and the most desperate among us with an eternal kind of freedom in short order. Next it came time to receive their always inevitable bombs. For our own good they said once again. I thought of a time when my father made me smoke an entire pack of cigarettes in front of him and yet here I sit smoking now. I watched a missile arcing through the night sky toward the town where he is buried and one of ours snaking upward to embrace it. It was like a sentence scribbled in orange ink in the clouds with an unsteady hand. I had this silly thought about how to prevent them both from ever landing but I haven’t yet learned how to convince you that other people are real.

***For Those Who Lived Under the Threat of Nuclear Annihilation***



Know that some of us did not want this.
Know that some of us
held our children in the nights
and knew they were no different from your children,
their little sleeves all made of wool and cotton.
Know that men were death, 
but some were not.
 
Indifference did this. A man
of ash. His madness. 
 
We tried. We failed
our time
so vastly.
 
And when it came,
when the sky broke wholly open,
and the fire fell
and the children glanced into the radiance,
 
we hope, we hope
that you blamed us.
 
Because all this time
there was life, and time, and blood in us.
And words, and earth, and burning.
And the final light, the last good scrap
of the truth in us
that could have stood, and rushed
the men who did this,
and Jesus Christ like a flood among the temples
whipped them out with the beautiful rage of God.

                                                                  —Joseph Fasano

Notice how they never cite a study or statistic that justifies AI use in the classroom. Why? Bc there is basically no evidence that AI improves student learning outcomes (and they know it). Politicians are putting corporate profit ahead of student needs—a corporate-backed science experiment on kids

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

This is, to put it mildly, a double standard. This guy was part of a government that encouraged online social media figures to engage in routine harassment of government employees to the point that many were fired or went into hiding. Some of it was done by Elon Musk, this guy's boss.
To give a sense of scale, 33 million people saw Musk’s post. Ashley Thomas has since made her social media accounts private after the wave of online harassment from Musk’s followers. She is one of an increasing number of public officials who are learning that bullying and intimidation is part of the game plan for how the right governs now. She might reasonably infer that she will be fired from her job for no reason other than the fact that one of Trump’s courtiers wants to show that he can follow through on his threats.

Speaking as a Jew living in Diaspora, who needs to exist as a minority at a time of rising antisemitism, I would really appreciate it if the Prime Minister of a country where I do not live would not say that attacks on a sovereign country are analogous to attacks on a synagogue.
Tweet from the Prime Minister of Israel: "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

Antisemitism knows no limits or boundaries.

Israel is attacked because it is the Jewish state. Temple Israel in Detroit was attacked today because it is a Jewish house of worship."

This is correct, imo. A Democratic administration successfully broke students' will to protest. They won nothing and faced massive consequences. NO ONE stood up for their free speech rights among mainstream pundits. Now they're to blame for the Biden administration's success at repressing them? No.
