OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.
My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

I would like to thank Companion AI for helping promote my latest in @mcsweeneys.net. I had worried my satire was too dark. This Einstein product reassures me that it was optimistic sunshine.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light
A friend just shared this with me, and I'm SO excited to read it. Had to jump on here and share with my #DHmakes folks (ahem ahem @quinnanya.me @literaturegeek.bsky.social 👀) resistance.unstable.design

Calling all #DigitalHumanities folks, esp in the U.S. I'm repping @ach.bsky.social on an ADHO ad hoc committee that's looking into recommending a standard peer review protocol for future DH conferences. Please take a few moments to complete this anonymous survey, even if you're not a member of ACH
The Price Lab’s Critical Approaches to AI Working Group has released a white paper in which we advocate for AI-free instruction in reading, writing, & research. These are fundamental skills in the humanities (& in general), & with decisive action we can keep teaching them well in the age of AI!

The liiive annotation interface: image control bar on the top left (sharing, zoom, image rotation); drawing tool bar on the top right (move, rectangle, triangle, circle, trash, undo/redo), navigation bar at the bottom. Colored cursors and annotation shapes above a medieval manuscript page.
It's done! 🚀 The first formal open source release of liiive is out — my real-time collaborative #IIIF annotation environment.
As of today: fully self-hostable.
A big thank you to the University of Graz Department of Digital Humanities and the DHInfra.at initiative who's support made this possible.
Call for papers!

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
Where is DH now? It's everywhere. Find me a student who has not made a podcast for a class, or a website for a final project. Or even one who counted words. It used to be a fight to call any of this pedagogy. It's not anymore 2/
