One of the safest meds you can take for pain during pregnancy, too. I'm sure there's no coincidence.

I hope people understand that there is no AI boom. No one is making money from this tool except its creators. There is no real value from this tool to have a boom. There was a baby boom a long time ago.

A complete history of higher ed will show why colleges have never been & never will be just 1 thing for 1 group of people. Universities have always had competing interests. I also don't think this person understands how universities are funded. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

The ads for ICE jobs are literally everywhere. The mantra is Defend the Homeland, which means wearing a mask and harassing US citizens because a dictator told them who to hate. No one is defending anything except authoritarianism. That's what defend means here.

AI is just one more layer between you and reality.

How many college have fired faculty for free speech? Here is a list so far: 1. Texas A&M 2. Clemson 3. Iowa 4. Middle Tennessee State 5. East Tennessee State 6. University of Mississippi 7. University of Miami 8. University of Tennessee 9. Auburn 10. UCLA 11. Ball State Feel free to add on

Yeah, no shit. It's called using your own brain. McConaughey invents thinking. Wow.

It's absolutely wild how many of these antivaxers are on Wegovy or some other weight loss drug that we don't even understand yet.

This academic job market will be like no other because faculty are trying to escape terror in red states and people are graduating. Many people will be looking at very few jobs.

Study says AI is slowly turning people into dumbasses even though ChatGPT is only a few months old, so this process definitely isn't slow.

The English major has never been dead and never will be unless conservatives take over the world & stomp it out. They'll try. Peeps talk shit abt English majors but many English depts generate a ton of money & cover the costs for other departments who run on deficits. Classes are always full. Facts.

It's wild watching America move into middle stage authoritarianism while pretending everything is normal. They're silencing us and taking away our rights but there's also pumpkin spice and a county fair.

I would definitely encourage educators to find a new LMS and move away from Canvas surveiling and stealing your work. Now that they have AI built into the LMS it's even worse.

It's wild how this administration uses FCC or SEC regulations to squeeze media companies who publish negative stories. A media company needs something from the fed gov. They file a lawsuit against media co & then demand a settlement in exchange for a sign off. This gives the illusion of a legal win.

The party of small government and pure freedom has decided to surveil how you can react to someone's death and then cancel people, specifically educators, for exercising their right to free speech.

Americans don't think college is worth it cause for the last 50 years the government and the media have continued to tell everyone it isn't worth it so they can under fund it. America has been lied to over and over abt college until the people see it as an enemy. www.axios.com/2025/09/14/c...

Why didn't the other people who got fired get a chance to apologize? They certainly didn't call for homeless people to be murdered with lethal injection. This country is so broken.

It's just so wild to see colleges w $1 billion athletic programs while the actual university cuts faculty, staff, and academic programs like grass. Two completely different worlds coexist. This is always the result of private interest takes over a public space.

They want to "kill mentally ill people" with "lethal injections." No one was fired for this comment. But many were fired for comments about Kirk. www.mediamatters.org/fox-friends/...

The nation of free speech is punishing free speech In middle stage authoritarianism. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The cognitive dissonance in this photo is mind blowing. The conservative party's desire to correlate themselves with historical icons who are nothing like them is also mind blowing.

This is an incredibly rare headline in neo-autocratic America. A state that is actually doing something with its residents tax money that helps people and doesn't involve ICE or AI. What a breath of fresh air. More of this, please.

The way American media churns disinformation into the best tasting ice cream swirl is beyond wild. It's unbelievable.

It's wild that they called the justice department to investigate knowledge making they do not agree with and they fired a tenured professor. It's the biggest waste of time and money and the definition of fascism. This is abt intimidating you from knowing facts. www.texastribune.org/2025/09/08/t...

As an educator, I can assure you it does not promote critical thought or rigorous science. Its environmental degradation alone is enough to abandon all ships to AI land because of health concerns.

Definitely make sure to explain to students how the news ecosystem has been altered & widely infused w disinformation conduits. My unit on research and resources has under gone immense revision. Using CBS as an example of state controlled media.

I hope everyone understands that this administration is never giving up power without violent resistance and everything they don't like or disagree with is fake. Fun times.

I'm over being told to teach AI literacy. These people can't even define AI literacy cause there's no such thing. Using AI is not literacy. That's ridiculous. Stop demanding people outsource their thinking to this machine. I'll continue to teach actual literacy & that AI is destroying the planet.

I think a presidential signature that looks like pubic hair is pretty revealing.

Tons of great books on nationalism that might be helpful for understanding this moment in US history, which is not unusual or new. Billig's Banal Nationalism is really good at explaining how day to day nationalism functions & becomes invisible & how nationalism permeates the US as a menacing force.

The dictator extorted TV stations so he could make them mute the boos. Completely normal.

Department of war is actually what we do so it's probably apt. We control 70% of the weapons market across the world and we spend 60% of our nations wealth on defense every year, more than 12 countries combined. We don't give people healthcare and education. We just start wars and sell weapons.

It's also bizarre how they Love to dichotomize wall street and main street when wall street is a real place with a physical location and main street is a simulacrum and not real.

As a scholar, it would be wild to just say hey, students. You must link these things together even though they don't link because it supports a conspiracy I want to use to kill people.

Fake shared governance is 1 way to define it but it's just academic disinformation. Universities act like they care abt students but then do the opposite. Welcome to hyper neoliberal higher ed full of surveillance, lying admin, & death cuts to the humanities. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

"That relaxed attitude about bodily autonomy comes as something of a surprise, given the state’s six-week abortion ban, but this is America, where you can do anything with your body unless there’s a uterus in it.)" www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

This will effectively end public schools in FL cause most parents are unwilling to send their kids to a school that allows students who have viruses & diseases to attend. These students will most definitely kill people, including teachers. Coupled w gun violence, this move will create too much risk.

This might be the most dictator shit I've seen so far from this admin. You can't just blow up a boat you claim is full of drug dealers. What is even going on here. We've reached another level of criminality.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Political theater.

Arendt claims that it has become natural for “the political to always be at war with truth in all its forms.” The only way to make factual truths debatable is with outright lies. She asserts that “Reality offends the soundness of common-sense reasoning.”

Bringing AI chatbots into class shifts the authority on learning to AI, which means AI will just become a fact checking tool that will most definitely undermine teaching.

Please help spread the word about our CFP? Id love to get a wide variety of posts for this series

One of the most obvious signs you're in a dictatorship is the government constantly spends tax money to prevent people from voting. Voter turn out in first world nations hovers around 70% but in the US it sits around 55%.

The wild thing abt this claim is that it is pure authoritarianism designed to sow distrust. It has no basis in reality. RFK trusts experts every day. Democracy is abt using federal resources to give people healthcare, education, healthy media systems, & jobs, something this country refuses to do.

Look, it's the party that whines about having the freedom to not wear masks or take vaccines notettinf everyone else have the freedom to take vaccines or wear masks.

This will go well www.fedagent.com/news/fbi-to-...
