Turns out if you eliminate peoples' jobs they... won't have jobs. Shocking.

said this before and i wasn't exaggerating: RFK has the exact personality type of the kind of person that, in a different sort of regime, oversees mass starvation.

Mr. Hegseth has previously said that General Brown should be fired because of his “woke” focus on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the military. Replaces a Black four-star fighter pilot with a white man who does not meet the statutory qualifications supposedly over DEI.

I’m worried that many Americans have no idea what democracy even means, why it’s important, how it relates to our nation’s history, which is barely taught to begin with. Dems should be running civic workshops and teach-ins to explain, wild as it seems, why democracy is better than a dictatorship.

It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this: Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

Now listening to 'Safeguarding Social Work Education and Science in Uncertain Time' hosted by CSWE, NADD, and SSWR. Any other #socialworkers #socialworkacademics here? Thank you, Dr. Ramona Denby-Brinson, for saying that we must preemptively organize and assign roles/tasks for the work.

Does anyone have any recommendations on qualitative interviewing "how-to" or example videos that you frequently share with students or RAs? Thanks for any guidance!

i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that actual racism and discrimination divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist

Got the official email directing a pause on our NSF grant. The language of the email likens “any grant activity that uses or promotes the use of DEIA principles and frameworks” to discrimination and a violation of the law

Yall know that those of us in higher ed institutions in places like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee can tell you for a fact that YES those colleagues you considered friends will report you. I encourage you to spend time building your pods and finding the people you know you can trust.

I am seeking a coauthor who wants to write about jokes in preschool classrooms. Must: love Spencer Cahill's work and have a symbolic interactionist sensibility. Preferred: a qualitatively-included graduate student seeking coauthorship opportunities. I'm not joking!!!!!

This is a fantastic, brief but brutal, takedown of one of mental health's golden idols: Bessel van der Kolk's The Body Keeps the Score. Props to @eminietfeld.bsky.social and @motherjones.com for the piece. Not a good sign when the scholars you cite disagree with your conclusions... #SocialWork

NEW: Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. ⤵️

The 51 men, whom they were able to identify, are known as "Monsieur-Tout-Le-Monde" or "Mr. Everyman." That is because your neighbor, your child's coach, the journalist you follow, your grandfather; all were charged for rape. We must not let Gisele down. Shame on all men until this epidemic ends.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

I love this episode (hot off the press!). @laywilliams.bsky.social and I talk about how economic inequality shaped political thought from Plato to Marx. Fun fact: Adam Smith and Plato were really down on the idea of wealth inequality. Surprised? Me too. Check out the episode for more insights.

I explain here why even those in blue states, or in states that have legalized abortion, should be worried. And it’s not because a federal ban is likely. Trump can drawn on a toolkit of burdens they’ve used in the past to restrict these rights for all of us donmoynihan.substack.com/p/legal-abor...

pundits keep telling me that trump’s wins aren’t related to racism and yet when he wins there sure seems to be people who see it as license to be extremely racist
