The University of Pompeu Fabra is leaving Twitter. This is getting serious.
La Universitat Pompeu Fabra deixa de publicar a X per coherència amb els valors fundacionals de la UPF com a institució compromesa amb la cerca i la transmissió de coneixement que permetin la construcció d’una societat més lliure, informada i justa. Aquest canal només restarà actiu en cas que sigui necessari vehicular informació d’emergències, alertes meteorològiques i afectacions importants de la mobilitat a la comunitat universitària.

You know what, I am not sure they exist, the "guardians of democracy". Nominally, maybe, but in reality? I watched @RepJeffries in @jonstewart's podcast. This is just a pendulum swinging from left to right, right to left, he said. If this is how popularly elected representatives see the situation, then good luck..

It is equally moronic to cheer for EOs that one believes serves one's political agenda. I've never been a fan of "biological males" competing in female categories but to deduce from this that the "p.ssy grabber/rapist" Trump is a women's right activist requires a different kind of relationship with reality.

In the reactionary wilderness of MAGA Reds and Blueskies, we have nobody to turn to but our intellectual comrades..
What’s collapsing: liberal imperialism or liberal internationalism? The first seems oxymoronic & off base, since liberal ideals masked, more than motivated, US interventions. I fear the second—institutions of post-WWII human rights & multilateralism—might be more threatened 🧵

Congratulations Victoria! 🍾
It's publication day for Unkind, on why women and girls shouldn't have to make up for the world by "just" being kinder (but men and boys possibly could...)!

Legacy media lost its compass a long time ago, but BBC is a *national* broadcasting agency funded by taxpayers' money. This is scandalous!
The terrorist behind the Sweden school shooting is 35-year-old WHITE man called Rickard Andersson. Look at the picture the @BBC used. Shame on you.

I think in the times we live in, "pursuing the truth" doesn't cut (I know that you are yourself a tad critical of the "anti-woke" craze). (1) There are plenty of bad faith actors around who'd be willing to use this "truth" to stigmatize minorities; (2) the sheer act of grouping people according to their race and ethnicity is conducive to divisiveness, a point that right-wing opponents of multiculturalism have been making for ages now.

Maybe this could give you an idea.
Every time I read an interview with Judith Butler they sound so rational and humane, the opposite of the demonized caricature.

It's funny thay China built an AI app - it seems to me - solely for this purpose.

The level of misinformation and hatred the owner of this platform is spreading beyond the pale. For a recent example, see below:
This wildly misleading tweet, and the mostly hateful replies, is like entering an alternate version of reality. If anybody is interested in the truth behind this claim, and what that Swedish poll actually asked, I'll go through it. Probably banging my head against a wall. 😂
