When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

California Prop 38: - authorizes $4B spending in a way that only one research center in the whole state qualifies - privately funded research center - founder of the research center has donated $22 million to support the ballot prop This is, like, pure corruption calmatters.org/politics/ele...
calmatters.org
Is this proposition a $4 billion giveaway to a billionaire’s LA research center?
Proposition 38 will award $4 billion to one unnamed research center. Under the very specific criteria, only one center seemingly qualifies.

It’s 1970 and ELTON JOHN takes out a crumpled piece of paper and plays “Tiny Dancer” for the first time in front of his lyricist BERNIE TAUPIN and Taupin’s wife Maxine (for whom Taupin wrote the song).

Don’t believe people who tell you ai can be liberatory or any other misappropriation of movement talk or justice frameworks. Find some people who are preparing to rebuild and cast your lot with them. Then read a bit more. Just keep your wits about you because they are trying to run game.

Hollywood mogul and Frieze owner Ari Emanuel objected to calling the actions of the Israeli military in the Occupied West Bank a genocide, criticized rapper Macklemore’s pro-Palestinian remarks, and complimented Elon Musk for doing “incredible things for the human race."

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

Working class means people who receive a wage, who must sell their labor to survive because they do not own the means of production. If you mean poor people, say poor people. If you mean people without a college degree, say that. Working Class means something pretty clear already.

Before (2011) / After (2026) Voie Georges Pompidou, Paris Centre. It was pedestrianized in 2016. in 2026 for the first time, there is a swimming pool here in the Seine. Note also the barge restaurants in the back, that appeared as soon as 2014, when there were temporary pedestrianizations.

In honor of Scotland’s historic World Cup run and status as America’s tipsy sweethearts, let’s look at the fashion history behind the Tartan Army’s uniform. The name itself comes from a worsted wool fabric in a twill weave with a distinctive geometric pattern (or sett), erroneously called plaid.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Here's what Democrats should do - as a minimum - to help fix the media ecosystem: Start a newspaper in every single congressional district - yes, all 435 of them - called "The <name of geographic area> Democrat." It can literally be the district number if there's nothing better to hand. (1/7)

The violence in Belfast is a reminder of something I don’t want to take for granted: The fascists here hoped the response to the depredations of ICE would be similar, with people turning in or attacking their neighbors. That it was the very opposite is worth remembering in this season of despair

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE
 Page from a book saying:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your Leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

In the 1920s, LA had the largest rail system in the world! When we dismantled it, we also gave away the space it took up to cars. As a result, some of our streets are overly wide, often with dangerous slip lanes. It’s time to reclaim this extra space for people.
