my local fire department had to post via various channels that a burn ban is still in effect because Google’s AI overview is telling people that there is no current burn ban in our area

So now I always ask: if you're some faculty member posting loudly about gender justice or whatever, do you know the name of just one single person on your campus who deals with these cases? No? Then what are you doing.

Respectfully, what’s the debate?
The president of the United States has called for the trial and execution of members of Congress in a manner that would make Charles I blush.
As a constitutional matter, I fail to see where there is room for reasonable disagreement about what happened yesterday.

President Trump’s recent statements accusing Democratic lawmakers of making “seditious” comments to military and intelligence community members have ignited a free speech debate.

Sorry, but this is not enough. The Democratic Senators' posts/videos about the outrageous Thing also need to go the next step & demand his immediate impeachment & removal. No, it won't happen. Doesn't matter. Normalize enforcing the rule of law & the Constitution. Articulate what must be done.
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

CDC ordered staff this week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging.
“The decision to vaccinate is a personal one,” a spokesperson said, echoing a line from a recent editorial RFK Jr. wrote
