Trump’s AI National Policy Framework: An Attack on States’ Rights? “Trump’s attempt to force unregulated AI down the throats of the entire United States is not only on the wrong side of history and democracy, it’s on the wrong side of a growing cauldron of popular rage.” @chenjerai.bsky.social

Big fan of Scene On !!! Can’t wait!

"[T]he language [of Intro 175B] is vague. And when language is vague, that leaves the decision in the hands of the police. And we know that they too often decide to take that peaceful protest, and free speech as actually some kind of threat." — @chenjerai.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtnq...

Thrilled that the latest season of Scene on Radio, The News, is an official Tribeca Audio selection. Honored to be back collaborating with John Biewen, alongside an incredible team including Diane Hodson, Arlene Arevalo, and support from Type C. Can’t wait for y’all to hear it!

Thrilled that our upcoming season, The News, is an Official Selection at Tribeca! Launching late May, Season 8 brings back the great @chenjerai.bsky.social as co-host.

I joined higher ed labor, education workers, students, community members, and local government officials in urging Mayor Zohran Mamdani to veto Intro 175-B. This bill threatens free expression and chills protest in educational spaces. Education and democracy depend youtu.be/XtnqMSaKl2Q

This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.

“They tried to weaken higher education, but instead they built a movement to fight for the future... They can attack our institutions, but they cannot stop our movement….We will not stop until we have the higher education system and the democracy we all deserve.” — Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

What was the Jewish Labor Bund? “They become in interwar Poland something that I can only describe as similar to the Black Panther Party in America,” @mollycrabapple.bsky.social says in a conversation with Hammer & Hope editorial team member @chenjerai.bsky.social about her new book.

my mom died of pancreatic cancer -- I had the heart-rending opportunity to see the suffering this illness wreaks up close this is unconscionable, unwarranted, unscientific, and criminal

I have a question for Steph Curry about his investments in Israeli Security Tech. And maybe after you watch this you will too. Let’s make this hard for him to and others invested in this to ignore. youtu.be/i9lne39BT_E?...

look I don't want to count my chickens or downplay the extent to which the right has fascist aspirations. but if the GOP had an unassailable, undetectable election rigging strategy - or the juice to openly do the detectable kind - you do kind of suspect they would've started here
