The House UnAmerican Activities Committee is one parallel. It operated for 30 years — and was most effective *when its targets cowered*.
If you are FOIA’d you have options: you can say “fk you” to these 🤡s by posting your syllabus yourself. Don’t give them the thrill of a ‘secret documents’ story!

Just learned from LinkedIn that a Heritage Foundation affiliate is now FOIA-ing (or equivalent) instructors’ syllabi to go snooping for supposed illegal DEI at state universities. It’s hard to describe how far past McCarthyism we’re headed here.

You can not come close to understanding the role of trans issues in US politics if you do acknowledge the very basic, fundamental fact that it was the right, not the left, that drove those issues to the top of the public agenda.

Say goodbye to 1.5°C. But remember, the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting.
Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

Prompted by Olga Cronin’s work at ICCL, the Irish Council for Civil Liberties I wrote to GeoDirectory looking for a copy of the personal data they hold on me. GeoDirectory is a company owned and controlled by An Post, the Irish Postal Service, and Ordinance Survey Ireland, the Irish map people.
