- Reposted by Sandy HiltonIL Prof here. Community members & faculty have been talking about this all weekend. Many have already made formal reports, but what's infuriating is that our mechanisms have been weaponized and therefore we don't trust that anything will even come of our reports.
- "There is no labeling in the graphic, and there are no identifying features... this graphic does not glorify nor valorize any incident because it lacks any reasonable connection," the college Republicans who posted this graphic said in a statement. dailyillini.com/news-stories...
- Reposted by Sandy HiltonI recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

- Friday night. I’m home enjoying the silence after a rough week. (Understatement, the week was horrid & hard) This weekend is for recovery and setting myself up for a better week next week. So grateful for a stash of @fridaytea.com options! A basket of options & all of them excellent choices.

- Reposted by Sandy HiltonThe images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.

- Reposted by Sandy Hiltoni don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
- Reposted by Sandy HiltonThis is what Bari Weiss et al think "censorship" actually is; when subordinates criticize their superiors. That has been the bedrock of the entire "cancel culture" discourse in elite media; rage at the idea that students, women, journalists, interns, etc might be able to speak against the boss.
- Please read this.
- Reposted by Sandy HiltonRFK Jr.'s legacy is a sea of tiny coffins in the US and internationally. Every day he remains in office, the harm he causes grows. Call your representative — it's time Congress impeaches and removes RFK Jr. standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

- Up too late. Alarm set for too early. She did not help and also, look at those feet!
- Nope. AI is the unhelpful excel spreadsheet: garbage in / garbage out. It steals water and electricity to feed the owners of the companies that are pushing it on us. Hard pass.
- Hey #Cat people My 14 yo beast is peeing directly outside his litter box. He poops in it. He doesn’t pee anywhere else. Bigger box? A covered box? (This one is open) 2 boxes?
- Reposted by Sandy HiltonPeople are showing more grace to the white guy who took 18 years to cover up racist tattoos than a Black woman who has been using her platform to fight inequality since she got here. This is #TheDoubleTax.

- Reposted by Sandy HiltonThese ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking." It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.
- Reposted by Sandy HiltonWhat's ominous is all of the trusted women of color who know a lot about AI are saying that a crash is on the way and the white guys are pretending they are taking it to the moon. This means that a crash is definitely on its way.
- Reposted by Sandy HiltonIf my fellow colleagues in the legal academy want to call me a partisan hack for my view that the common law’s history is settled and not reasonably open for discussion without new evidence, I invite them to do it to my face.
- Reposted by Sandy HiltonMedical misinformation and social media go hand in hand now. After a rousing chat with @caulfieldtim.bsky.social about his new book, I wrote my thoughts on a five-steop guide to recognizing and resisting medical misinformation. vajenda.substack.com/p/a-five-ste...

- Do not get your immunization information from the US anymore. A sad betrayal of science and evidence. @wyden.senate.gov JFK needs to go. These failures are on the Senate for not blocking his appointment. Replace Schumer. We all saw how McConnell ran things as minority leader. Schumer failed.
- Breaking: After contentious debates and three failed attempts at a vote, a federal vaccine committee decided on Friday to end the decades-long recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...

- Reposted by Sandy HiltonNow we have a presentation from Mark Blaxill, an anti-vaccine activist responsible for the site Age of Autism, which is profoundly ableistic. He describes himself as a critic of the CDC. He will present on the safety of the HBV vaccine. VICP claims are not how you evaluate safety.
- Reposted by Sandy HiltonToday is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.
- Reposted by Sandy HiltonLol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved. Don't look up!
- Reposted by Sandy HiltonHer parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven. The hypocrisy is stunning.

- Every day that goes by, the people who abused those children are going without consequence. Children were raped. People knew & did nothing. Hold them accountable regardless of party or wealth. @democrats.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
- Reposted by Sandy HiltonSenator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
- The wealthy are only wealthy from taking money from others. Stop spending on all but necessities. We need to stop the “consumer spending” and demand the wealthy pay taxes rather than live off the rest of us.
- I nuked the sorting ability in gmail by turning off the “smart text” option. I don’t want AI in my emails. Having one giant inbox is helping me unsubscribe from all those marketing emails. Push AI = I’ve created an “unsubscribe from everything unnecessary” protocol. AI should be opt-in only.

This is why we were shouting form the rooftops about the dangers of RFK Jr. being in charge of HHS. He will never, ever, admit he was wrong, nor will any of these other people. Policy-based evidence making.

- No. Hard pass. I stopped using my Oura ring when they opened their data to Palantir. No thanks.
- Reposted by Sandy HiltonI don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US. Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.
- Cats. Do you suppose she thinks her name is “Why?!” Waiting for my turn in the shower, it’s a bit busy right now.
- Reposted by Sandy HiltonSo a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.
