A prize should be awarded to the first journalist who asks Tr***p either, “Why are you lying again?” or “Why are you such a dick?”

Proud of and happy for my colleagues north on Broad Street. If you can join a union, please consider doing so. Workers are far stronger when united.

I deleted my instagram account yesterday. Will one account matter to Meta? No. But protest is still one that remains within my control.

This thread is a refreshingly complete explanation of Meta and the Biden administration and the 1st Amendment. But what's really significant is that it's a thread on Bluesky. It is not an article in the Times or the Post or any other "major" newspaper, which have failed us so completely.

The American economy just added 256,000 jobs in December, and unemployment fell to 4.1%. Trump is inheriting one of the strongest economies for an incoming President in generations. And despite destroying our economy in his first term, Trump will try to take the credit for this boom. Don't let him.

He is, indeed, poison. Rat poison.

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/defending-...

And for further weakening academia’s struggle against student misuse of generative AI, we have to blame an *checks notes* academic publisher.

I might add a 4th rat: lies. But these are the enemies we need to be wary of.

This is disgusting.

I am enraged by the media, doctors, and politicians who are sane washing RFK Jr and claiming some common ground. Common ground only exists when there are genuinely good intentions, but anti science grifters are not presenting good faith arguments. There is no common ground, only a slippery slope.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Democracy Dies in Darkness was meant to be a cautionary statement, not an instructional one. This is chilling. And we are in for a very long and dangerous 4 years. If we’re lucky.

Excellent thread. I’ve long thought the REALTORS ®️ ethics model should be used in PR. Enforcement is at the local level (I.e., PRSA chapter with national support) with practitioner peers as “judges.” Sanctions (save for egregious or repeat offenses) are primarily corrective/educational in nature.

I don’t care that this likely a bot account. I’m just going to enjoy this.

I've been holding my fire about this but it turns out there's a serious pathology in our public discourse about how we think & talk about the extreme wealth of a Musk or Bezos. Almost all of it is in the form of *stock* in massive corporations—Amazon, Tesla, Meta—& that makes its owners dangerous

If you are on a faculty represented by a union, please join. Strong membership numbers are an effective way to demonstrate solidarity and build our collective power.

It appears Musk came to US on a student visa, did not attend school and worked illegally here. If he lied in his subsequent immigration applications he committed a felony level crime and could be stripped of his citizenship and security clearances. Musk's brother: "We were illegal immigrants."

Soon enough, Trump will start to execute his agenda. He will continue to lie about the 2020 election. Those of us who call him out for what he is — a deranged election-denying autocrat — will be vilified and threatened. That is how we know we are doing the right thing. That we are effective.

This will be required reading in my classes where we discuss AI use in PR. That AI news release just saved time, but what is the larger cost?
