“Right wrongs no man.” -Frederick Douglass H/t @wihorne.bsky.social

“Right wrongs no man.”

NEW: Donald Trump has released his national policy on AI, banning states from regulating AI development on their own land. It also protects AI companies from any liability when someone uses their tool to cause harm or break the law.

“…I reject the arrogant and scornful theory by which [blue-eyed and light-haired races of America] would limit migratory rights, or any other essential human rights, to themselves, and which would make them the owners of this great continent to the exclusion of all other races of men.”

Frederick Douglass on actual democracy: “I want a home here not only for the negro, the mulatto and the Latin races, but I want the Asiatic to find a home here in the United States, and feel at home here, both for his sake and for ours. Right wrongs no man.“

Collaborators is the correct term.

We need scorched Earth accountability and a restoration of valuing expertise, or something like that. This will not be an easy task because I think too many Americans still don't have the stomach for what should be done. Yes, even after everything. Perhaps I'm wrong.

like even if this happened more recently having a toxic relationship with a 19 year old would be more age-appropriate than being deputy director of ICE

Catholics have messed up bad. Like BAD bad. But their rejection of eugenics deserves credit too.

Fwiw and by contrast, this was the opening of an article partly about the creation of a new anthology department at the Catholic University of America, which appeared in the 3 April 1935 edition of The Catholic Transcript.

update: I binged it and that person I lost out to (i knew there were only 2 campus visits) graduated with their PhD from liberty 2 years later. LOL. It took someone doing a history phd while working a 4/4 with new preps each year 2 years to graduate. Did they even do coursework? Did they research?

I’m not religious but it’s hard for me to see relying on exploited labor as Christian praxis

Omg y’all, I found it: the worst academic job!

Get Exploited for the Lord Today!

“Adjuncts are essential to Liberty University’s mission of Training Champions for Christ” is quite a sentence.

"Adjuncts are essential to Liberty University's mission of training Champions for Christ" because there's nothing Jesus loved more than exploited labor

Liberty should be destroyed.

Whoever takes this is 100 a creep

paid in "exposure to the Word of God", probably

i just assume that every dissertation submitted would be the same: "God did it"?

Wow. This is a disservice to both the professor and the student.

Remember that Assistant Secretary or whatever she was groomed by "Liberty" University also what I call the BYU for Evangelicals

Omg y’all, I found it: the worst academic job!

Don't just ban it in grocery stores.... ban it everywhere. Pay cash when you can folks

This bill isn’t magic or even sufficient on its own, but reflects what serving your constituents actually looks like. Frankly a breath of fresh air in this fascist hellscape.

feel like if they sent out covid stimulus checks they can send out tariff refund checks

I do not claim to be impartial. I support equality & will not tolerate fascism, even when it comes with a smile in a suit.

Counterpoint: the system is actually functioning more or less as designed. It’s just been advertised as a thing that it clearly isn’t.

Trump judges playing disingenuous 'im not touching you' word games with crimes against humanity

Racist as hell

Quote from this article: "The one thing we had over our adversaries [was] we fed our people." Just a reminder that enlisting is the only available path out of poverty for people the current regime finds undesirable and now the regime is starving them.

Boy, if our military is depending on packages from home for basic necessities, it sure is a good thing the US government isn’t crippling the Postal Service and simultaneously turning international shipping into tax hell.

where are the world baseball classic baseball men of team usa & all their troop respecting when you need them

Remember that “laundry fire” on the USS Gerald Ford a little while back? Starting to wonder if that was sailors desperately trying to force the ship into port.

We're so dedicated to starving populations that we're doing it to our own military. Magalicious.

Just came here to say that this DID NOT happen during the invasion of Iraq and the occupation of Afghanistan. This administration is the most incompetent and corrupt administration that the US has ever had.

Why is this article about interrupted military mail deliveries and not about the military deploying troops while NOT BEING ABLE TO SUPPLY FOOD TO THEM!?

You ever wonder if maybe, just maybe, all the patriotic language is an op—a front for something else?

ICYMI I wrote abt a gender non-conforming Union soldier who, it turns out, was (probably) a guerrilla fighter & rebel spy. And for my teachers/nerds in the room, it includes a transcription of the original primary sources.

This is a good point. Around a third of Boomers were SAHMs. Maybe their spouse or partner worked, or they were on SS or ADC, or there was another circumstance. Previous generations of retirees and grandparents were also part of the village. Plenty of adults were around, just in the background.

More higher ed discourse like this please

Been thinking a lot this week about how I wrote a vague post on Twitter about the then Harvard president’s attitude toward student protestors, someone asked me if it was about Hamas, I said if it was then that’s what I would have said, and conservative “media” reported that it was about Hamas

kinda funny how Republican voters are inarguably happier when a Dem is president. they don’t actually want to be in charge of shit, they want to roll coal and whip themselves into a frenzy over wholly imaginary liberal tyranny. now they’ve caught the car and it fuckin sucks

Try to find a smartphone and service provider combo in the US that won't force multiple AI programs on you with no opt out ability.

An experience, it should be noted, that there is no way of opting out of, avoiding, or protecting ourselves from in any way. Just a firehouse of shit that makes much of the media ecosystem that is enmeshed in our daily lives totally unusable.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

I've argued that what we are seeing isn't just change in opinion on Israel but a paradigmatic shift, especially by young Americans, where Israel is seen as a genocidal villain. In this clip, Enten shows the scale of shift in light of latest Pew poll. Why profound shift? 1/ youtu.be/hBuKWSdq_js?...

Can someone out there please count up all the CPAC speakers who ranted about George Soros funding left wing causes? Be sure to take breaks and stretch every hour or two.

IT ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK IS NOT
