Auch die Generation Deutschland scheint sich der IB anzunähern. "Denn die IB steht auf der Unvereinbarkeitsliste der AfD. Eigentlich darf nicht Parteimitglied werden, wer bei der IB war. In der GD scheint eine Vergangenheit in der IB eher eine Auszeichnung als eine Bürde zu sein.
Ill be clear about why I am so angry and critical about it: Im seeing a good portion of my students who have imbibed the notion that they dont have to read, think or write for themselves because ChatGPT/CoPilot will do their thinking for them, and its terrifying. It should scare all of us.
DOGE allegedly used ChatGPT to identify 1,400 NEH grants it said were DEI. Grants were terminated April 2025, according to a court filing. E.g.
Film: 1873 Colfax massacre

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

This, along with the seizure of ballots and voting data, is another massive red flag for Americans: This is the kind of thing authoritarians say and do when they are preparing to rig the vote.
They are preparing to steal your vote, and you have to take action now to stop them.
The California State University system spent $16.9 million last year giving ChatGPT to all students, faculty, and staff. We are asking the CSU chancellor not to renew the contract with OpenAI when it expires.

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

This is absolutely catastrophic for research in the humanities and social sciences. Not only are these centers crucial sources of the limited research funding we have as grad students, but they have been interdisciplinary intellectual homes for so many of us at UNC. dailytarheel.com/article/a4ee...
Today, the German ban on the #Hammerskins, which was enacted in 2023, is being negotiated in court in Germany.
@exifrecherche.bsky.social was at the #Hammerfest in #Milan in November 2025 and shows that German Hammerskins are completely unimpressed by the ban. Incredibly impressive research!
Congratulations! This looks like an excellent volume.

After NYS Young Republicans club was disbanded for praising Hitler, the NYC Young Republican club chapter is rolling out the red carpet for leaders of Germany’s Nazi-cosplaying AfD party.
I condemn it in the strongest of terms, as should my New York GOP colleagues. The AfD is not welcome in NY-10.

Here’s your daily reminder to BACK UP YOUR IMPORTANT FILES.
“Students learn how to spot deception across subjects: in maths, they see how statistics can be manipulated; in art, they explore how images can convey misleading messages; in history, they study famous propaganda campaigns; & in Finnish, they examine [how] words can be used to confuse or mislead.”
