Thought provoking article. Let's rally and vote for Mamdani in November!
"It is an odd story. (Mamdani didn’t even go to Columbia, for one.) You can imagine a different way of framing the story — a thumbsucker about identity with the headline “What does it mean to be a Ugandan Indian?” But the Times’ racist framing, which implies Mamdani was trying to game the admissions system, is one that plays better with the increasingly racist right-wing ecosystem."

In fields where I am an expert (and have the degrees or CV to prove it), I'd never insist that people trust what I say just because of that.
Take it more seriously? Listen more closely? Follow up more diligently? Of course.
But if I have nothing to back up my statements other than "I'm an expert and you're not," then honestly, I have nothing to back up my statements. You're right to be skeptical.

A quotation from Louis Brandeis
Those who won our independence by revolution were not cowards. They did not fear political change. They did not exalt order at the cost of liberty. To courageous, self-reliant men, with confidence in the power of free and fearless reasoning applied through the processes of popular government, no danger flowing from speech can be deemed clear and present, unless the incidence of the evil apprehended is so imminent that it may befall before there is opportunity for full discussion. If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.
Louis Brandeis (1856-1941) American lawyer, activist, Supreme Court Justice (1916-39)

Tecnologías para un mundo nuevo II
Bachillerato Popular IMPA, sábado, 19 de julio, 15:00 GMT-3
Tecnologías para un mundo nuevo II
Con mucho entusiasmo les compartimos que en julio se viene el segundo encuentro de formación y debate del Polo Técnico de Izquierda que dimos en llamar Tecnologías para un mundo nuevo.
Será el sábado 19 de julio en el bachi del IMPA, donde tuvimos nuestro primer encuentro el año pasado.
Esta vez, retomaremos nuestras conversaciones sobre la prefiguración tecnológica y tendremos además, como ejes, la inteligencia artificial y el futuro del trabajo, y el desarrollo de tecnologías en las luchas territoriales.
¡Lxs esperamos!

If #God Exists, Where is He? | #VictorStenger
From the #cosmologicalargument to fine-tuning, #theists offer many reasons to believe in God. But critics like Stenger say these arguments collapse under scrutiny. This video breaks down both sides and asks: are these classic proofs of God still relevant in a post-#scientificage?

Far-right Greek MP Nikolaos Papadopoulos vandalized 4 artworks at the National Gallery, calling them “blasphemous.” The attack forced the museum to close and sparked national outrage over artistic freedom and rising extremism in Europe.
