My Twitter account was permanently suspended for briefly posting Elon's government email. The reason cited was "private information." Funny, Elon never had issue with libs of tiktok posts with government emails. The so called free speech absolutist…

This is about making an example out of Columbia to scare the rest of academia. There's nothing Columbia could have done to stop this. It's an ideological war to destroy universities. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

We're giving up free speech to allow a dystopian AI program to arbitrarily deny the visas of students who are critical of Israel. Since when do we suspend fundamental rights for a foreign country? It's fundamentally un-American. [contains quote post or…

This is what the media does. They'll cover something that endorses a wholesale stripping of all rights for trans people but then report it as being only about sports. It's working to obfuscate what is being done to us by our government and our leaders. …

I don't think the United States survives this in its current form. Part of me hopes there's balkanization so that the northeast can build a modern parliamentary democracy with human rights in its charter. So many possibilities open up.

The Atlanta Fed just updated their GDP tracker and it showed an even worse drop in GDP for the 1st quarter of -2.8%, down from +3% at the start of the Trump administration. The closest precedent to this was the economic crisis at the start of COVID.
