The California State University system spent $16.9 million last year giving ChatGPT to all students, faculty, and staff. We are asking the CSU chancellor not to renew the contract with OpenAI when it expires. Anyone can sign the petition — link below!

I say again, what could possibly go wrong.

I appreciate the work of @heavyredaction.bsky.social, who is mentioned in the article! There is no justification for this level of spending on AI at a time of austerity and department closures. A University System Went All In on A.I. Now It’s Tearing Itself Apart. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/m...

This Monday 4/7; all are welcome!

Nestled on the Gulf of Mexico shore in #Texas, the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge is home to some of the country's most critically #EndangeredSpecies. But Fish and Wildlife is considering handing over 712 acres of this precious refuge to #SpaceX. Take a stand for #PublicLands ⬇️

We are stepping up the fight over AI in the Cal State University system. Details here on our faculty union’s efforts to combat the CSU’s $17M contract with OpenAI. Special thanks to the legal team at @cfaunited.bsky.social for sharing information about the Unfair Practice Charges they have brought.

Excited to have this piece — a deep dive into the California Faculty Association’s fight against ChatGPT at Cal State — in the @aaup.org’s publication @academemagazine.bsky.social. See the whole series out today, “Organizing Against the Machines.” www.aaup.org/cal-states-w...

My employer, Univ. Colorado will pay OpenAI $2M/year under the banner of “equity”. That’s 54 full scholarships / year. Plus, our IT will be able to read our chatGPT logs, and our chats can be requested under public records law. No thanks. Surveillance is not equity www.axios.com/local/boulde...

Our petition asking the CSU chancellor to “Cancel ChatGPT Edu. Invest in Humans” is very close to 2,000 signatures—many irate faculty, students, alums. We‘ll be sending signatures and comments to the administration on *Monday.* Last call, & anyone can sign! actionnetwork.org/petitions/ca...

Sign and share this call on CSU to cancel its multimillion dollar OpenAI contract. CSU is in a budget crisis, OpenAI wants to reduce us all into tools of AI, and our public money should be invested in humans! actionnetwork.org/petitions/ca...

'to treat peer review as a throughput problem is to misunderstand what is at stake. Review is not simply a production stage in the research pipeline; it is one of the few remaining spaces where the scientific community talks to itself.' 1/3

Loren Taylor & his white big business friends formed a fake group that KTVU immediately started partnering with weeks after it was founded and visibly had no membership. Still doing it too. The Fox takeover of that station was the death knell of independent journalism in Oakland

Alex Pretti & Renee Good were killed by members of DHS tactical teams. I went long on ICE/CBP's 'Special Response Team' & BORTAC, Homeland Security's paramilitary units that are now using SOCOM-style tactics & firepower for civil immigration enforcement & protest suppression

The "violent criminal illegal alien" that agents were pursuing when they killed Alex Pretti has been in the U.S. for two decades. He had a single misdemeanor conviction for disorderly conduct (domestic assault) eight years ago that was expunged from his record. He did not have a deportation order.

Colleagues, especially those in CA and in the California State University, please sign this petition. I know you've all heard the bleak news stories about our AI debacle (because people are always bringing the stories to me)!

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Quite extraordinary how little discussion of risks universities are engaging in before they sign all their staff and students up for new AI tools, at extraordinary cost, Given universities' known deficits and repeated claims of financial exigency, this is surely problematic.

My late dad taught history at Cal State Fullerton for over 35 years, I asked ChatGPT about a Harlan Ellison short story and the AI claimed Ellison never wrote it. I had the book open to the story right in front of me.

I’m sorry, this is so funny

No ChatGPT at CSU!

NEW ‼️ Judge has ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Ramos 🙏🏼

The CSU/OpenAI contract is set to expire June 30, 2026. Sign this petition: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/cancel-chatgpt-edu-invest-in-humans/ for the CSU NOT to renew the contract and to use the savings to protect jobs at CSU campuses facing layoffs.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

genuinely stunning image

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.
