Open. I don't registration wall my content. But that's speaking from a ton of privilege in how people interact with me online.

This is my question on #CreativeCommons nc licensed educational resources.

It looks like the licensing questions made it past the motion to dismiss so yay?

Is it because we can't come up with testable hypotheses for our critiques? Only grant funding and a sabbatical would allow us sufficient resources to definitively answer.

Perhaps because they understand the stakes and are the only one acting remotely consistently with reality. I dunno. This is all bad. Shrug.

I didn't feel like I accomplished much. I'm not looking for sympathy or whatever. I'm more experienced in organizing than I was back then but I still have no clue where to start with organizing against the downfall. Heck, I don't know how to prioritize this over my other work

He said like "of course I didn't mean to mislead Congress. That's my boss!" The people who knew him from msnbc, who I haphazardly tried to appeal to, laughed in agreement with him. And I left. (Btw, questions were read by other people on stage. I didn't interrupt anything)

I remember in 2017 or 2018, I handed out leaflets when James Clapper came to visit and asked him whether he felt responsible for lying to Congress and whether he felt differently now that Trump would likely use the surveillance state to conduct mass deportations.

Becker's is basically horror flash for me, it's a detailed account of the wheels coming off the healthcare wagon. The body count of this SCOTUS is going to reach foreign land war proportions, and it's all in service to fascism.

Yeah, some topic. I ask students to pick what feels most imminent to work on. And then do the advocacy assignment alongside them, a little in advance, and then they can use my stuff as reference. It works okay

Oh definitely! If your assignments are to do policy analysis or advocacy or whatever...do your class with your students. Pick a topic. Be the exemplar for them. Sooo much fun

Tangential, but the charges that people arrested at the UCSD encampment faced included the same trash can encroachment statute that the City uses against unhoused people. Anyone who makes themselves inconvenient to power in some way is just downgraded from human to annoying sidewalk trash can.
