I find myself conflicted about this piece. On the one hand I'm cheered that it reaches the same conclusions that I posited in the immediate aftermath of the release of ChatGPT that we must preserve student agency. OTOH... www.chronicle.com/article/im-a...

They assume we must all be getting paid to rise up cos:

A) they can't imagine a scenario where they would stand up for a stranger without financial incentive

B) they received financial incentives or free passes to cause trouble

C) there is insane funding behind them, and they draw small crowds

"Here are the demands we all need to make: Use the National Guard to protect our citizens. Arrest agents who commit crimes. Charge police, National Guard, and ICE with crimes when they commit or refuse to stop them. . . . Do it now."

Make this viral--Renee Good & others deserve our support.

Someone smarter than me shared why small protests matter—especially now, with people showing up for Renee Good. This article explains it well.

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

On Thursday morning Elon Musk retweeted (with a ‘100%’ endorsement) a post declaring that: If white men become a minority, we will be slaughtered. Remember, if non-Whites openly hate White men while...

There was amazing restraint and heroism by the U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department on Jan. 6, 2021. They were viciously attacked by rightwing extremists and rioters incited by Trump.
Also, by their own standards, the cops protecting the Capitol on Jan 6 should have opened fire all over.

yes! a good number of MAHA-approved products are just repurposed waste from beef production
i'm not saying this as anyone who knows anything about health; i'm saying it as someone who is an alleged expert in interest group politics: the American beef industry is all over MAHA, wellness, and podcast spaces.

remember "bacon mania?" totally a marketing strategy by the pork industry.
New federal dietary guidelines give federal approval to beef tallow, a fat that both cardiologists and the U.S. government told Americans to avoid for nearly half a century.

If you had predicted with precise accuracy any of our current top stories this week during the ‘24 election, it would have been dismissed as Trump Derangement Syndrome by most of the professional takesmiths.

I am quite sure that the Trumpsters who tried to overthrow the government on January 6 we're asked to stop. The police officers did not shoot them in the head.
