If TPUSA can maintain a website with names of professors, whose locations are searchable on university websites, then there’s no way ICE deserves anonymity. Anyone could come shoot me in my office any day with their encouragement, so why should these armed men be any more protected than I am?
Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

As for me, I am not a pessimist of any kind. And these tech bros are not optimists. They are autocratic extractionists and I’m against that.
When I’m accused of “technopessimism“ I counter that I’m not “pessimistic about technology“; I am opposed to the economic, political, and social project of upward wealth transfer that “AI” is being leveraged to bring about. If that phrasing is useful to others, then go ahead and use it.

Last week, the Indiana University administration asked their student newspaper not to print any news stories in the Homecoming edition. When the faculty advisor refused, IU fired him and ended paper printing. So students at the Purdue paper printed the IU edition and drove it down to Bloomington!

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

NEW: Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families.
But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.

When I was a social worker in Brooklyn, even as a supervisor I wouldn't make more than $55k. Meanwhile my then boyfriend whose job it was to move money around a screen from this person to that person had a bonus double my salary.
94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.
The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.
Something has gone terribly wrong.
