just spent three hours trying to find the origin of the quote "[...] sooner than submit to such odious laws we will see the Union dissolved [...]"

it was from a meeting in northeastern ohio to denounce the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 as reported by the Ashtabula Sentinel on Dec 21 1850

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:

AI Is Supercharging the War on Libraries, Education, and Human Knowledge
"Fascism and AI, whether or not they have the same goals, they sure are working to accelerate one another."

today in AI tyranny
I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel
Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create
