Y'all when I tell you that this current paradigm of "AI" being shoved down our throats does real, persistent harm, and that said harm will fall first on the most marginalized and then on everyone else, this is the shit I mean. I mean god DAMN.

Speaking from the cusp of the vaccination generation, Please vaccinate your children! My earliest memory is the terrible pain of coughing up my lungs and not getting air, while my mama cried and held me. Pertussis. Having measles was torture. High fever, swollen itchy skin, thirst. Vaccinate.

I'm begging folks to not compliment themselves too much on their "non-violent" marches & rallies. Instead, try to understand that violence at protests is generally a result of law enforcement escalation. Then, the galaxy brain move is to ask yourself "which protests do police tend to attack?"

One thing I saw repeatedly in last night's AI thread is that a lot of people--seemingly young people??--believe teachers and professors are tasked with making students *better people* and therefor if their students are using AI it's the professor's failure/thing to fix. This has no basis in reality.

None of this damage by Trump or Musk would be possible without the full and unwavering support of the Republican Party. This is like pretending that the problem with the Civil War was that Jefferson Davis thought too much of himself.

In case this comment is lost on anyone, an Gorta Mór – the Great Famine – of 1845-52 ultimately cut Ireland's population in half. It was overtly provoked by overreliance on the potato, but the fundamental cause was rule by a foreign power: England.

This will impact some of the most incredible poets in the US right now. I am shaking with fury at the cowardice of this administration and those who slander humans born in repressive states. I am SCREAMING.

If enacted, the proposed rule would significantly limit international student visas, most dramatically for students from 59 countries. Four of these countries - Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria - are included based on claims from the Department of Homeland Security that their governments are state sponsors of terrorism. The others are included largely due to visa overstay rates of more than 10% from last year's DHS report, with 36 of these countries being in Sub-Saharan Africa.

If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry. If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.

"I learned with concern that a French researcher" on assignment for the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) "who was traveling to a conference near Houston was denied entry to the United States before being expelled ," said the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Philippe Baptiste, in a statement sent to Agence France-Presse (AFP). "This measure was apparently taken by the American authorities because the researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friends in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy ," he added
