Is there a short book that deals with AI and conspiracy theories/hate that you would recommend for an intro college course? I am reshaping my spring required "reasoning" course to have a theme of addressing conspiracy theories. There's also a new requirement to teach about AI/digital things.

In light of today’s conversation on academic accommodations, I’m going to revive a thread lost to time when I deleted my Twitter profile. It’s about a bunch of academic accommodations that instructors can offer in lieu of an extension on an assignment. 🧵

This week on 'Yeah Nah Pasaran!' on @3crmelbourne.bsky.social, @sexenheimer.bsky.social & I talk to @joanbraune.bsky.social about the NEW! book 'On Christian Nationalism'. 4.30pm, Thurs, DEC 4 /// 855AM, digital, streaming, Community Radio+ app, podcats 🐈 slackbastard.anarchobase.com?p=53794

This is the same position Kevin Roberts articulated at the Heritage Foundation: Fuentes vile views must be debated and engaged because of free speech, but that same standard does not extend to campus (even though that is what campus leaders were told for years when it came to other racist speech).

"Should we stand up to fascism?" "Nah, let's do an ableism instead." "Cool."

I don't mind questions, as much as the people who have answers to questions I didn't ask. "Oh, since you're a philosopher..." ...proceeding to a recruitment pitch for their religion, or asking me to agree with paranoid/psychotic delusions, or telling me what they "discovered" while taking drugs

That assignment isn't a religious freedom issue. You have to do the assignment. They didn't do the assignment. The feedback was incredibly generous and thorough, much more thorough than the assignment. This is about bending over backwards to the far right, not about religious freedom or anything.

Also, I forgot to say, Routledge is having a Black Friday sale for a few more days, so that might be a good time to pick up On Christian Nationalism, or my other Routledge book, Understanding and Countering Fascist Movements: From Void to Hope (2024)!

My friend @harshawalia.bsky.social was arrested and charged, and another protester was brutalized today in Vancouver at a protest targeting Apple for profiting from death and exploitation in its supply chain. The protesters also called out Apple's support of Friends of the IDF.

Experience: I was stabbed in the back with a real knife while performing Julius Caesar

The tweet authored by Stephen Miller about "you're not just importing individuals, you're importing societies" should be a textbook example of how the fallacies of division and of composition (both of which he commits in the same speech act) are signature of bigoted animus.

Buy this book or ask your favourite library to buy it.

Excited to have a chapter in this wonderful volume!

Looking forward to checking this out

So happy that "On Christian Nationalism: Critical and Theological Perspectives" is now out in print! With 19 contributors, the book addresses definitions of CN; historical development; intersections with racism, sexism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia; and practical ways to address the problem.

"This wouldn't have happened if Trump hadn't taken funding from counter terrorism" isn't a take supportive of communities at the sharp end of hate and the security state.

This.

Wow it really is just like God.

no, it's not a real person. go outside, touch grass, say hello to a human

ICE Agents in Oregon Violently Abduct 17-Year-Old High School Student on Lunch Break

Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store. If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

it's kinda crazy how many Dem governors released statements for TDOR while simultaneously having their hands caught deep in the "complicit in the systemic torture and rape of trans women" jar

Every parent whose career has to do with online safety also bans Roblox.

Anyone know which other three academic research centers are being targeted with this besides GWU?

I need everyone, esp anyone working in education or tech (but really everyone) to WATCH THIS CLIP of @drtanksley.bsky.social discussing the technologies infiltrating our schools & psyches and how she is addressing it with our young people. youtu.be/5mtcSL4S3HQ

To my knowledge they haven’t been able to fill their open position for addressing terrorism and violent extremist threats to children on their platform in over a year.

Love 2 be the premier app for child predators to prey on children (please please please don’t let your children use Roblox)

My hometown absolutely floored me this past week. FLOORED. For safety reasons, I haven’t said much about it. But I’m so damn proud of my family and friends. So proud.

The number of ICE facilities has increased by nearly 100 over the last 12 months. According to the ICE facilities page, there are currently a total of 221 facilities holding detainees. By comparison, at this time last year, there were a total of 124 facilities that ICE reported on the list.

After more than two months with no updates, ICE has finally released new detention statistics. ICE reports a total of 65,135 detainees as of Nov. 16, 2025. www.ice.gov/detain/deten...

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery? Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!! Here are 5 other things to know:

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Emma and I co-wrote this piece looking at using the Virgin Mary within protest art for @sojo.net sojo.net/articles/opi...

The only way to understand this is to realize that they are eugenicists.

I just used this example in Logic class as an appeal to ignorance fallacy before seeing the CDC website 🤦

I’m at Hoover Elementary where there was some ICE presence earlier. The school is on lockdown and community members are chanting “say it loud say it clear immigrants are welcome here” No obvious sign of any federal agents in the area now

ChatGPT’s signature writing style is everywhere now, and I hate it. It reminds me of when we tried mixing all the beverages at the soda fountain in middle school. We didn’t actually create the perfect drink, we just made a cloying monstrosity that lost everything good about its constituent parts.

Over 20,000 students stayed home from school Monday in Charlotte amid ICE raids, representing 15% of enrollment The district is nearly one-third Hispanic, per WBTV www.wbtv.com/2025/11/18/n...

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say. "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

The issue was never polarisation When far-right politics are on the rise and being mainstreamed, opposing them uncompromisingly is the only way forward, not the extreme of a spectrum where the status quo is the reasonable middle ground

MTG isn't rebranding as a moderate, she's circling the wagons w Massie in the America First / Fuentes fash camp. There's some populist overlap w the left there, which fools some Liberals into misreading the coding. But she hasn't changed. Her core is protectionist xenophobia & antisemitism.

Per the article, he has been in the US since 1952, when he arrived legally with his family. He was five. He seems to have never gotten his citizenship papers in order, but attended his immigration meetings regularly. He was taken into custody last month and taken to Alligator Alcatraz. Fuck ICE.

A country where so many people will stick their necks out like this to stop an attempted ethnic cleansing is a country worth fighting for.
