@hcrichardson.bsky.social Thank you for your work, even from hotels on the trip from Hell. I have a request. When you mention Tommy Tuberville would you please include the fact that he lives in Florida and not Alabama. We feel alone down here with Repubs electing foreigners to govern us.

Judge strikes down Trump’s bid to cut states’ anti-terror funds unless they impose new voting restrictions

The judge ruled that FEMA had no “authority to extract unfunded reforms from states in exchange for grants.”

As Trump and his Republican minions revive the language of the "Red Scare" and "threat of communism" in the elections, Trump is actively supporting the world's largest communist dictatorship, including by offering to sell them American weapons. Insanity is too mild a word.

For folks writing about artificial intelligence: can we agree to use the lowercase i? People named AL would like their name back. The lowercase also reflects more appropriately the meaning in the term. There is relatively low probability of confusing it with the old testament biblical city. Ai

There is this film from the 90s (Pump Up The Volume) in which an Asst Principal is rounding up students to take to the principal's office for expulsion. One of the students says. "What did I do?" He says, "I don't know, when we get to the office we'll check your file." This is where we live now.

Y'all. Education is under attack for a reason. To survive it will have stop defending itself only with academic arguments. We need political movements and legal challenges. We need to mobilize economic power to reward friends and starve foes. We should hang together or we will all hang separately.

Not to diminish the work that Sackey and Hassel are doing--it is fine and difficult work serving and preserving the community and should be praised-- but the recent NCTE and CTT updates make it clear to me that CCCCs was dissolved to remove dissent in the Google Ai take-over of education.

It should be illegal for officials to sign NDAs with the industries they are supposed to regulate. This has nothing to do with protecting legitimate trade secrets from competitors. This is about hiding information from the PUBLIC— from whom they derive the legitimacy required to to act.

I believe we have reached yet another point in time where saying a country did/does X cannot be allowed when the truth of the matter is The leader of that country did/does X without any remorse or sometimes even thought. It is the leader and not the country who should bear the consequences.

I will forever admire Wendell Berry's insistence on living his values through to their natural conclusions and relentlessly ripping through layers of politeness and habit to hold up for judgment those who do not.

to eat for the success of the free
market and global trade? Please
name your preferred poisons.

For the sake of goodness, how much
evil are you willing to do?
Fill in the following blanks
with the names of your favorite
evils and acts of hatred.

What sacrifices are you prepared
to make for culture and civilization?
Please list the monuments, shrines,
and works of art you would
most willingly destroy

In the name of patriotism and
the flag, how much of our beloved
land are you willing to desecrate?
List in the following spaces
the mountains, rivers, towns, farms
you could most readily do without.

State briefly the ideas, ideals, or hopes,
the energy sources, the kinds of security;
for which you would kill a child.
Name, please, the children whom
you would be willing to kill.
