The same people who think we need to bring back real standards to academia also want to give all students a “suspend my professor” button if they don’t like how things are going
From the Oklahoma U student paper: the school is now saying it will automatically suspend faculty (with pay) in response to student complaints

what is extra frustrating about the continued efforts to kill it is that none of them understand this
everyone attacking it is convinced that killing section 230 will allow them to remove some part of the internet that they don't like, be it content moderation or sex predators, but it's much worse

Bluntly, Section 230 is almost literally the law that the entire internet rests upon, it makes it possible for user generated content to exist on the internet, it’s incredibly important, and genuinely we must defend it at all costs. This place literally would not exist without it.

So, yes, there's this myth out there (again, started by Cruz, but picked up by tons of people, some who are well meaning) that 230 means you have to "chose" to be a "platform" or a "publisher." And if you're a publisher you don't get 230 protections. That's 100% wrong.

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.

Hamas figured out that the US priority is putting on a show that casts Trump positively.
Say something he wants to hear, he’ll promote it. You don’t have to do anything. In this case, say yes to an already changed proposal and leave details to be worked out, as if those details aren’t the hard part.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".
hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

perhaps nothing is more ingrained in our collective consciousness than the idea that if you get angry enough and have nothing else you feel like living for, the standard move is to pick up a gun and go find someone(s) to use it on.

State Senator Graciela Guzman is out here in front of the facility demanding the release of two of her constituents (who are U.S. citizens), asking to speak with federal agents. No response from them so far. Shes putting on a respirator.
