a fcking word "the administration “is not serious about protecting public safety,” but instead “committed to creating the conditions for violence to thrive.”
A few years ago, Equal Justice USA was awarded $3 million in federal grants to expand the organization’s work supporting community violence intervention efforts.

In April, the Trump administration immediately terminated its funds, stating that the grants were no longer aligned with DOJ priorities.
How Trump’s DOJ wiped out a pioneering anti-violence nonprofit
“We’re just the tip of the iceberg.”

This is part of the reason I started @resistanceschool.bsky.social .. not only to get around the political repression around teaching about race.

But also to be free of AI colonization.

We need to get back to the essence of learning together in groups. With other humans!
We have allowed the lazy, grifting Silicon Valley charlatans into the front door, & in doing so, we have learned just how many of our own colleagues & administrators simply are not interested in the actual business of education. It's incredibly demoralizing.

Thanks so much for your reporting on this, Ben. I just got an email from my campus's IT office triumphantly advertising free student access to four different AI models -- at the same time as we have a hiring freeze, caps on grad enrollment, and a 7% budget cut -- and wanted to scream.

Great to see President Trump draining the swamp by finally taking on Big Missing And Exploited Children special interests.

Shaun Harper writes about campus DEI retrenchment- even in places where such efforts have not been officially restricted. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/blog...
DEI retrenchment on campuses is far worse than maps show
They don’t capture local-level and self-imposed efforts to defund, eliminate or otherwise suppress diversity and inclusion efforts.
