Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.

They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.
A screenshot of a social-media post. At the top, a user’s profile photo and name are shown with a verified checkmark. The post text reads, “It took a bit of time but we didn’t miss!” Below it is another embedded post from a different user, also verified, dated August 9, 2024. The embedded post reads, “If you come for the Queen, you best not miss!” followed by emojis. The photo in the embedded post shows a boxer in a red athletic uniform with a flag patch on the chest. The athlete stands in a boxing ring, looking serious and saluting with one hand. They have braided hair pulled back and wrapped hands. A screenshot of a social-media post by a verified account. The text of the post criticizes male athletes competing in women’s sports and calls for medals to be stripped. Below the text are two side-by-side photos. The photo on the left shows a boxer on a podium wearing a white jacket and holding a gold medal with one hand placed over their chest. The photo on the right shows another athlete wearing a white jacket holding up a gold medal and a tall award box. Both images appear to be from medal ceremonies at a sporting event.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

ChatGPT is pedagogically harmful.
Increasingly evident, its cognitively not useful at the least.
It also clearly seems to have profoundly dangerous mental health consequences for vulnerable people.
And I feel like Im in the Twilight Zone trying to get people to hear me on this.

this story is horrifying and universities NEED to accept that ChatGPT is actively harmful

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad
2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Tomorrow, 11/4, the district court in the Utah gerrymandering case will hold a hearing on whether the partisan fairness metrics adopted by the legislature should be thrown out.

www.sltrib.com/news/politic...
Utah Legislature’s favored congressional map was drawn with political data. Is that disqualifying?
The expert lawmakers hired to draw Utah's new congressional boundaries told the court he had access to partisan data while making the map.

new zine circulating campus just hours after the Chancellor stated that WashU is engaged in "dialogue" with Trump admin about future of higher ed
Trump's Compact for higher education. What it is and why you should resist it Zine pages explaining that the Compact is "the Trump White House's attempt to reshape higher ed by offering preferential treatment to universities that agree with government demands." The demands include banning DEI in hiring and admissions, viewpoint diversity, cutting programs critical of conservative ideas, bans of disruptive protest, defining gender based on biology, and limiting international student admissions. No colleges have agreed to the Compact. MIT, Brown, Penn, USC, UVA, Dartmouth have publicly rejected it. WashU was invited to join the Compact on Friday. On Monday, Oct 20, WashU Chancellor Andrew Martin wrote to the university community stating that WashU had agreed to join conversations about higher education because "it is important to have a seat at the table." The table is rigged. The Trump admin is attempting to dismantle higher education and purge universities of critical thought, challenging analysis, and dissenting voices. The Trump admin is attempting to exert federal control over university policy, personnel decisions, and curricula, violating every tenet of academic freedom and free inquiry. Chancellor Martin wants to engage in dialog - it's not dialog if the terms are already set. The Compact is clear about interfering in higher education. We refuse any engagement with an administration that seeks to undermine higher education. We must reject Trump's vision for academia.
