I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

My terrorism class finished a section on jihadists and is now discussing white nationalists, and it occurred to me that in some states (Florida? Texas?) I might not be allowed to teach about the latter, since it mentions race, and doesn't balance it out with pro-white-nationalist-terrorism readings.

People seem to not understand that the Trump admin doesn't care if they reduce the number of nurses via making school unaffordable and further exasperate the dysfunction in our medical system. These people know they will always have access to healthcare, they just dont care if you do.

I'm sure many people have mentioned this, but I think it needs to be mentioned again: women do not have yearbooks. Children do. Because yearbooks contain photos of high school students. Or younger.
This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

The reporting, the precision, the displays of data, the comparisons to Chicago PD’s comparatively rare use of chemical force, the explanation of policies on using gas & pepper bullets, the descriptions of the effects of tear gas…all outstanding. This level of work wins Pulitzers. Outstanding /2

I encourage you to read her full comments, not because they exculpatory — they absolutely are not — but because they're dangerously close to self awareness about the trap that hasbarists find themselves in.

She's basically saying that previously US media was state sanctioned media and because of social media where young Jews are seeing Gazans bombed and starve to death it's hard to get them to see things the way she sees things.
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"

Several Chicago newsrooms spent two months collecting and analyzing evidence of ICE & Border Patrol's use of tear gas and pepper spray in Chicago.
They found that agents deployed chemical agents nearly 50 times. Most uses occurred after a judge ordered federal agents to restrict their use.

I am deeply trusting and faithful and optimistic about many things in this world, but to feel that way about anything the current U.S. regime does is not optimism; it's either denial about how authoritarianism operates or denial that we're under an authoritarian regime at all.

Presenting Ukraine with an ultimatum ain't great. To put it mildly. What was even more worrisome in the Axios rundown is that USA-Russia secret negotiation will also deal with 'security of Europe'. Bad sign. There's already a plan for that: NATO. Any new plan Russia created is very bad.

Also my grumbling pedant thing is the Cuyahoga actually caught fire at least three times. The one everyone remembers is actually after they passed a bond measure to finally start cleaning it up, and the time magazine cover of that fire is actually from an earlier fire
