A thug at the far right rally called for Prime Minister Starmer to be assassinated. Things don't get better from here if we don't change the national conversation. Labour need to shift their anti-immigration policies and rhetoric - stop feeding this movement. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Just a few days after Columbia announces the Pulitzers, the university goes and suspends its own student journalists.

Bill Grueskin @bgrueskin.bsky.social · May 9

Their access to campus is blocked, and they can't take final exams.

Mis/disinformation research officially cancelled.

Understanding the creation, content, distribution, and susceptibility is one of today’s key scientific and societal challenges.

Researching this is not free speech infringement. Such a claim is intentionally misleading.
