New issue of Adbusters centerfold

The billionaire fired hundreds of FAA employees. Now, the agency is testing Starlink to help manage U.S. airspace.

Wow, yeah. The clips were good but you guys have to watch the whole thing.

Found it interesting that Adobe’s generative AI would not let me use “anti-fascist” in a description of design aesthetic.

Fugee just wants a break from all the shocking news.

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

Protest in support of #Steamtown and all our #NationalParks in downtown Scranton. #SaveOurParks

Fact checking one AI with another AI ?

Do you have eyes but fail to see, #BrokenPost?

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

"The cinema of the past, thanks to younger audiences of the present, has a reasonable shot at an in-person moviegoing future." We talked with Michael Phillips of @chicagotribune.com about our great audiences discovering & rediscovering classic films! www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/13/y...

"All I want to do is scream at the top of my lungs. But I’m trying my best to keep it together for my students—to try and be the hope for them that sometimes I struggle to have for myself." higher-ed leaders, researchers and students on the last few weeks: www.chronicle.com/article/what...

“The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, is stealing money from you to put in his pocket” has to be the easiest political argument ever www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

“It is alarming that the Trump administration would punish AP for its independent journalism,” said AP’s Executive Editor Julie Pace.

Kendrick Lamar has 22 Grammies and a damn Pulitzer if you don’t know who he is that’s a You problem

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Just saw the commercial for (Ontario) Canada on CNN. Theatre of the Absurd!

This is really important. Phones in schools are significantly disrupting learning. It’s not the only source of the problem but social media is a big reason kids are getting distracted. www.axios.com/2025/02/04/t...

Targets? Praying for the safety of these workers and their families. 🙏

Any university that voluntarily shutters a DEI program, office or personnel “Because of Trumps Executive Order” is making a PR decision. Not a legal one. Trumps EO does not change anti discrimination law. If anything, the EO is unlawful. Universities should treat it that way.

Fugee doesn’t understand why companies are still packaging in plastic.

Happy Black History Month! Black History is American History!

Fugee is ready for February … #caturday #catsofbluesky

Informative article about how Trump’s education EOs are basically illegal. “The Education Department, its secretary, and the federal government have no authority over curriculum matters.” www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

What the anti-DEI rhetoric implies is that no women, no people of color, no person with a disability, or who has otherwise or intersectionally been marginalized, could possibly be as qualified as a cisgender, hetero white man. Their notion of who has merit and who does not is what makes them bigots.

Go protest Trump this weekend, use hashtags: #3E #USprotest #endimpunity

This is just the beginning of the FCC's war on free speech

A resolution has been introduced in the House to classify “Antifa” as a “domestic terrorist organization.” Because of course fascists would want to make antifascism illegal. www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr...

No way I’m going to interact with MeritTV - whatever the f*** that is - but the strategy is clear … we’re being flooded with so much shit show so fast it’s hard to form a rational response.

#Ohio SB 1 would ban departments, classes, curriculum, workers' rights, and tenure at public colleges/universities‼️ It even creates a list of topics that couldn't be touched. We have to stop this bill. Call your senators

“Unspecified bomb threat” received by several colleges in PA today, acc. to email from one school where I teach that is going virtual today out of precaution. Coincidentally, another school where I work is on a compressed schedule for “system outage.” Okay. I don’t want to scare people either, but …

The world is on fire and billionaires are trying to reshape our collective reality to their own delusions but your cat still wants to play.

Trump is calling for ethnic cleansing—“clean out that whole thing” was his phrase!—but the NYT manages to make him sound like a humanitarian.

“… Because phosphorescence is the key to the eyes of the Beast / That licks itself / And it’s tongue/ Darting one never knows in advance in what direction / Is a plexus of furnaces …” - from “War” by Andre Breton (Trans. Mary Ann Caws & Jean-Pierre Cauvin via Against Forgetting.) #BookSky #poetry

They will go after Wikipedia. They will go after libraries. They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports. They will go after archives. Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy. Thinking is the enemy.
