This type of overreach is unconscionable, and if successful, sets a very dangerous precedent for overreach in university affairs and faculty hiring efforts.

It’s vital that presidents publicly defend their institutions & “be brave right now,” Todd Wolfson, president of the AAUP said. Presidents need to recognize what the administration is trying to do by attacking higher ed: They want total control. open-campus-dispatch.beehiiv.com/p/how-univer...

The Trump administration is at war on civil rights. Friday’s announcement intensifies their clampdown on concepts & topics related to race & identity that if implemented could effectively re-segregate higher education. We must forcefully oppose these assaults. www.insidehighered.com/news/diversi...

It goes without saying, but if you see the need to access any data about American education from the federal government, you should go download it now. Like stop reading this post and do it immediately.

NEW: A Harris campaign organizer says senior officials ordered them to erase voters who asked about Gaza—marking emails as “no response” so they’d be removed from outreach. No engagement, no persuasion, just ignored. “The only clowns are the ones who decided to abdicate on this.”

The Palestinians and their supporters didn't create our current predicament. It's a convenient, counterproductive deflection to lay the blame at their feet, and given the degree of destruction and suffering they've endured, it's also sadistic.

What the NSF is doing this week is damaging generations of scientific researchers and American investments in science. Billions of US tax payer dollars in investment, being thrown away, because of a fucking fishing expedition that is intended to terrorize and set the stage for a real witch hunt.

One of the most effective ways to deal with crushing helplessness is to get involved. Find groups to organize with locally, be deliberate about your time. That along with teaching, writing, and honestly the joy of my son, is what keeps me sane through the horror & what braces me for what comes next.
