'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

In 1943, Nobel Prize–winning author Knut Hamsun gave his Nobel Prize for Literature medal to Nazi Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels. In 2025, Drumpf 🤡 was given a Nobel Peace Prize by María Corina Machado, Former Deputy of the National Assembly of Venezuela. @cbsnews.com @cnn.com

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Fascinating world of #ancient glass: this marvellous #Roman facet-cut glass beaker was found intact in a burial in Arae Flaviae/Rottweil. Colourless, faceted cut glass vessels became very popular in the second half of the 1st c. AD. They presumably… 🧵1/2. 📷 me 🏺 #archaeology ##findsfriday

A massive attack on several humanities units (Arabic Studies, Judaic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Classics, Religion, German & Scandinavian, Russian/East European/Eurasian Studies) *and* tenure now unfolding at the University of Oregon (a blue state!). Closure of units and faculty layoffs threatened.

Turn off AI in search results. I just did this in Chrome and it works. tenbluelinks.org#chrome-windows

As we head into the school year, I’m as grateful as ever for our nation’s hard-working educators. If you agree, please let the teachers & homeschoolers in your life know about Rick Steves Classroom Europe—a free & ad-free library of 600 video clips covering history, art, music, culture & geography.

Sigh. Our county school administrators are forcing us to use one of our precious three planning days before the pupils arrive to sit in an auditorium and hear them evangelize about AI. It’s the third year they’re doing this. I’m bringing my crochet to get something productive done.

In Norway too many co-operated and helped send Norwegian Jews to their deaths. Denmark is a good example to follow there. We had our resistance movement, who sacrificed a lot, but we need to learn from history about how fascists persecute scapegoat minority groups, and not be complacent.

So like… we just waited out the stupidity of MOOCs & they’ve largely collapsed under their own weight & retreated to the handful of niches where they’re actually useful. Can we do that with LLMs or do we need to take more active measures? Bc I’m having a LOT of trouble thinking about teaching rn…

Meanwhile, here in Maine, AI crawlers have rendered the server that manages our statewide interlibrary loan unreachable by legitimate attempts to pass through requests/information Again, but louder: the server can’t be reached by libraries and the folks trying to use them BECAUSE OF AI CRAWLERS.

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

Now this is a master class 🔥

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.

This thread (and the multiple quotes) remind me of something: it is a lot harder to build something than it is to break it down. There is no “Democratic Stephen Miller” because turning off a hundred switches takes one person, but turning on one hundred programs is going to take thousands.

NEW: A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze federal funds. Then the harassment began. Pizzas sent to his home in the name of Judge Esther Salas’s murdered son, Daniel. Six credible threats to his life. More than 400 “vile” calls to his chambers—including this voicemail:

This past week, the 79-year-old president announced he’s ended six wars (some that have been going on for centuries), asserted that windmills drive whales insane, called for Beyoncé to be prosecuted, claimed Obama committed treason and complained a convicted pedophile “stole” teenage girls from him.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.
