The ethical argument against AI - how its existence is used to justify abuse of humans and natural resources - is enough.

One of my friends heard back from her councilwoman- "we are being bombarded with calls, emails, and letters about this" so PLEASE keep up the pressure. I appreciate everyone that's reached out.

Obviously Greek life should be abolished. Its explicit role is consolidating privilege and shielding members from accountability. It maintains this via abuse - of members, outsiders, etc. This system is working as intended, and the only resolution is dissolving it and removing it from campuses.

Important data to underscore the state of sexual violence on campuses. This is, of course, not just a Cornell issue. It happens everywhere and almost always with basically zero consequence.

Many people who were critical of MPD cost overruns were denounced as alarmist or anti-police. Now MPD has admitted to the abuse of overtime hours. I am grateful current leadership is cracking down but deeply frustrated by this betrayal of the public trust and the time it took to get answers.

I see we're recycling this tired (and classist) framing that academia is somehow ✨so special✨ and that's why structural labor protections shouldn't exist there. Organize. Unionize. Speaking from personal experience - you might even surprise yourself by what you have to gain.

With the obvious content warning, I would encourage every man, especially working in higher ed, to read this. Women already know this is our reality, on campus and otherwise. There are no institutional efforts to prevent or rectify this systemic violence. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

In case you hadn't heard, ICE has been ramping up activity in the South Metro and is snatching people from cars and leaving abandoned vehicles on the side of the road, at gas stations, etc. At least two abductions in Savage this week. Carry your whistles. Stay alert.

It is breathtaking. Like many things these days it is hard, but necessary, to figure what is a continuity and what is a rupture. EdTech has always been a private sector parasite feeding off the public sector. The rupture is AI EdTech is experimenting on the rich instead of the poor.

Michigan is giving an Israeli military company $1 million to build a hub in the same state where thousands of residents are watching Israel demolish their homeland. “I’m sure most Michiganders would agree that legitimizing war crimes for potentially creating 125 jobs is a moral catastrophe.”

Documenting the Impact of US DHS Activity in MN

Conference Date: Sept 22, 2026

Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs

Purpose

In December 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began a significant, sustained agent surge in Minnesota that affected the daily lives of many residents, but had severe impacts on immigrant communities and communities of color.

This one-day, in-person convening provides researchers from across disciplines and organizations with an opportunity to share and discuss research related to the effects of Operation Metro Surge and Operation PARRIS.

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”
