the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Colbert I do find delightful in a Catholic uncle way, but it IS just a little bit embarassing that we have to go to the mat like this for Jimmy Kimmel, a man I have only ever watched on television against my will

but here we are!!! and it’s what we have to do!!!

I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"
If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them.

Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.
1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them.

It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests.

I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights.

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Librarians are punk as fuck
When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.

We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

ALSO.

for any new yorkers who want to do something about this, you can call the governor's office and ask her to use her executive power to remove him from office: 518-474-8390
The New York Times now reports that Mayor Eric Adams' defense attorney is trying to get DOJ to drop the federal corruption case against Adams by suggesting Adams will only go along with Trump's plans for mass deportations if the case is dropped. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/u...

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product.

One thing about Dems being lame and normie is that they may actually be open to constituent pressure so one thing you can do, as useless as it seems, is call their offices.

Pretrial defendants, who are considered legally innocent, make up the vast majority of the local jail population in Maryland today.

Unlike Maryland, Illinois has seen the intended results of bail reform: fewer people sitting in jail before trial.

Someone told me that this app may seem very empty because of this default setting that requires replies to have 2 likes or more before they show up.

Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.
