The GOP's proposed 21% tax on endowments would be devastating for higher ed, for many a bigger hit than IDC caps. Result: program closures, higher tuition, less financial aid, donor lawsuits. If your reaction is "so what, unis have plenty of money" read @epopppp.bsky.social's primer on endowments.

The National Park service has absurdly scrubbed trans from its Stonewall website. They are trying to rewrite/ erase history. Marsha P Johnson anyone? Trans & queer history are inseparable. “LGB” ? Pls tell them what you think 🌈🎓🗃️

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
