This is a shamefully racist movement that should be resisted by every person of good will. @brian-goldstone.bsky.social’s forthcoming book is incredible and it’s honestly the archive’s loss (and the nation’s). www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

This episode was such a joy to record with Heidi and even better to listen to the second time around. There is so much to unpack here, we could barely fit it in an hour!

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

I did not guess that we'd be at "unprecedented purge of the military's leadership" one month into this thing, but here we are.

We invite everyone: children, adults, retirees, immigrants and activists to participate in a visual assembly to map and describe the rules of living in the City of the Future. After all, if we cannot imagine another world, how can we build it? davidgraeber.institute/cities-made-...

The Iowa legislature's priorities this session are: ✅ dehumanize LGBTQ+ people ✅ enshrine Christian nationalist white supremacy into law ✅ punish perceived ideological opponents And by most measures they seem to be winning at the moment.

I have had this album on repeat for DAYS now. Super late contender of my favorite of the year, the debut album of Grendel's Sÿster, "an anti-fascist mythological epic heavy metal trio from Stuttgart, singing in both English and German." Just look at that cover! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv46...

I wonder what Grand Unifying Principle animated recent unlawful executive actions targeting ideological enemies, intimidating immigrants, dehumanizing LGBTQ people, and eliminating policies protecting diversity, equity, and inclusion? There's something there I can't quite put my finger on. 🤔

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1
