Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Things that caused the DC plane crash:
— Having 1 air traffic controller do a job 2 people normally do, because of far-right efforts to destroy the government

Things that did NOT cause the DC crash:
— Women
— Black people
— Pete Buttigieg
— DEI programs generally

Our hearts are broken & we pray for her family & friends.

Mark Kelly is about as centrist and polite as you can get and would never attack a fellow veteran. Kelly literally said he couldn’t find a single quality in Hegseth that would permit him to run the military. Kelly’s words were a stunning indictment.

Sitting at Costco eating my $2 lunch while a person at the next table is ranting about higher ed & how professors are super pretentious & highbrow. They also suggested professors are rich.

Good morning, just making sure you know the CEO of Meta, which owns Threads, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and more, just donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund. This after he went to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring.

Carry on…

This part.
And, nope, none of these white writers have ever penned an article asking Trump voters to "reach out" and understand the plight of millions of Americans who voted AGAINST Trump. Odd. So strange. I wonder why our anxiety doesn't matter? Hmmm. Anyone want to take a guess?
A lot of white dudes coming out telling me to reach out to Trump voters, not all are bad, yadda yadda. Good for you. You go out to diners & talk to people who voted for a criminal racist & violent insurrectionist 3 times in a row. For most people of color, we'll concentrate on the 65% that didn't.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story

The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post
A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million
Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

There is no point in trolling if no one sees it.

User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people.

If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it.

Moderation is great

Really helps engagement

Great piece from @wajali.bsky.social on all the "hypocritical outrage" from the GOP over the Hunter Biden pardon. He brings receipts:
Please Spare Me All Hypocritical Outrage Over Hunter Biden's Pardon
The same movement that supports and celebrates a criminal, vulgarian insurrectionist who pardons his criminal friends now feigns outrage. Here's me playing the world's smallest violin.
