The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding β and indicative of a culture where theyβve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

This too cannot be emphasized enough: the tools are no longer "out there," some other website where you need an account and maybe a subscription. They're in the browsers, in the productivity software, and in the courseware. To cut them out of the loop will now require enormous energies. +
Not all students will use these tools and not all will have access to them. But increasingly institutions are looking to provide that access and are encouraging use of the tools in at least qualified ways. (And this is to say nothing of the workplace environment or general social expectations.) +
This is neither doomerism nor capitulating to βinevitability.β Itβs a factual baseline for the current conditions of student writing. I say this as someone who has spent a career studying writing technologies and their impacts. (Deep background thread: bsky.app/profile/mkir...). +
To the extent asynchronous written work has been the traditional object of assessment in a variety of classes and disciplines, there are now tools in place that can furnish transactionally serviceable surrogates for many or most cases. +

This is a good breakdown if interested -- I hate that Trump has repeatedly ruled out Ukraine entering NATO. Because of his siding with Putin, people are dying, children are being trafficked and abused.

He had the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Ukraine, the EU and NATO in the White House and he made them wait while he went to get instructions from Putin ...
