Federal inaction and the lack of strong guardrails for AI systems are making women and children less safe online. Companies have proven they can’t or won’t do the right thing so Congress needs to set guardrails for AI to protect people’s rights and safety.

I don’t ever want to hear any “pro-family” bullshit from this Administration ever again. Cutting off $10 billion for child care in California and 4 other blue states will make kids, parents, families, and providers suffer. This is disgusting political retribution.

As of this year, CalRx insulin pens are now available for just $11 each — and copays for a 20-day supply are capped at $35.
No one should have to choose between paying the bills and receiving life-saving medicine.

The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 was designed to protect Black Americans. This week, it was used to end a Black scholarship at UCSD that aimed to bolster the campus’s small Black student population. Moments like these remind us why the fight for equity must go on.

From a mentorship and continuity standpoint, multi-generational is already locked in, the question is how much. And if Congress succeeds in its apparent mission to become a symbolic body, that damage will be maximal.

Alternatively, don't apply to jobs in Texas
If you are applying for a faculty job in Texas, argue for a higher salary than you'd get at other institutions. The lack of real tenure protections is a de facto compensation cut and you should negotiate accordingly.
Texas search committees know that getting good candidates is an uphill battle.

If you make "controversial statements" outside of classroom, that the President of the university dislikes, you can be summarily fired even if you are tenured.
