They defanged it but it's still up for consideration in TN. If passed it will remove all meaningful due process from having tenure and allow the state to put faculty on leave *without* pay while an investigation is being performed.

Why is it that most sources that lean right have low factuality, while the opposite is not true. Does leaning left mean embracing truth?

I am begging: Do not learn how to do activism or organizing from social media influencers. Do not join massive unvetted Signal groups promoted by ārevolutionaryā influencers. If you want to be an activist, you need to be embedded in local community with people you know and trust. I am BEGGING here

Even those of you who oppose the war have turned it into some kind of a joke, a meme, an opportunity to be "correct" yet again. And I get it. It's too monstrous to contemplate fully. We're too monstrous to contemplate fully.

Around 20 years ago, when I lived in Iran, I wondered what I would do, how I would grieve, what pain I would feel when and if my identity would be used to bomb the country. To destroy its culture and its people.

Israel is a rogue, genocidal state and it will continue acting like a rogue, genocidal state because it has been enabled for nearly two years to openly carry out a genocide. This will not stop until Israel is forced to stop but the states that can do so are instead enabling it to continue

It's never really about your "tone" it's about the fact that you said something they didn't want to hear, and in fact don't think you should even have the right or audacity to say to them. Don't worry about how you come across when you are saying the truth. There is no approved way you can say it.

I donāt get how anyone can try to spin this into anything other than what it blatantly is. There is no Palestinian army. There is no way for Gaza, where the population is predominantly children to defend themselves. What Israel is doing is called a genocide because that is what it is.

All institutions are made up of individuals. Individuals can say "no". If enough individuals refuse, orders don't get carried out. It's hardest for the first person, but often you discover that others want to say "no", but haven't the practice that gives you courage. 1/3
