“Ideological capture” at a private university is freedom of speech and freedom of association. They don’t like climate deniers, evolution deniers, antivaxers, voodoo economists, and race realists and they don’t hire them.

The people who defend Cuomo are mostly just calling him “strong” without context. What the fuck does “strong” mean? Mostly, I think, loud. But I also think that it affirmatively means something shitty like “you need to be a strong man to abuse women.”

Many folks warned that the crackdown would extend to everyone, not just criminals. Similarly, we are now warning that the Big Beautiful Bill will be incredibly damaging to regular people, who will be shocked when it hits them. Some people just won’t listen because they don’t like the messenger.

Some Democrats are looking to cozy up to fascism, is what they wanna do. If that party wants to start taking this country back, they need to figure out how to lead this country instead of being content to lick the ass of the dog ahead of them in line.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

Katie's right, but I want to nuance the issue. Students come into college with an understanding of writing that is mechanical and algorithmic. It mistakes mastery of the basic form of an essay for using that form to articulate that point. Part of this is due to the culture around student writing.

Great one by @kateshaw.bsky.social Whatever you think of unitary exec theory, SCOTUS' shadow docket order quietly keeping some firings in place while litigation proceeds - despite the firings violating statutes & precedent - emboldens Trump to keep violating the law. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/o...
