This is leadership www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

And Mike Eruzione the Team USA captain turned Trumper gave the pregame pep talk. I couldn’t be happier for the overtime loss.

With so many crazy things happening, focusing on them all is impossible. So, I am trying to pay attention to the things I have expertise The new admin floated handing over FAFSA and student loan repayment guidance to AI. Here is why that is a terrible idea #EduSky www.newamerica.org/education-po...

Professors please pull up a chair. I’ve been talking to my classes about what has been going on. I explained indirect costs to them. I talked to them about what a probationary employee is in the government. At the end of class they asked if we could talk about it more. (1/)

Research by Carroll School Professor Cheng Jiang found that narcissistic CEOs are prone to riskier, less profitable insider trades, driven by their inflated egos. Read more in @financialtimes.com ⤵️ on.ft.com/40MdiEU

MTA to Feds: Drop dead

We are literally losing progress everywhere.

Spending a cold day at Beacon Hill Bookstore

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

"Moreover, the JFK Library appeared to be the only one of the 13 completed presidential libraries managed by the National Archives and Records Administration that was closed without a reason Tuesday." www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/18/m...

Worth a Listen ... and I mean LISTEN. www.youtube.com/live/sofj0EC...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I am overwhelmed by this wonderful review of my book. This is exactly what I hoped #HigherEdPros #HigherEdFaculty would feel about the book. Thank you Gage for your endorsement! www.maplewoodcase.com

OK. Rant time. I am a recycler, composter & I typically bring my own reusable mug with me. But this morning with the ice & a late start of the day, I forgot my mug. I also rarely go to Starbucks anymore, but I had a coupon. So, here we go. WTF with the new compostable cups? THEY ARE TERRIBLE.

The OCR sent a lousy Valentine's Day gift to higher ed this year. My latest "What's Up in the Academy?" newsletter tackles the Department of Education's "Dear Colleague" letter and argues against automatically bending the knee. #HigherEdSky #AcademicSky open.substack.com/pub/drdeveau...

For over 20 years, I've been at schools affiliated w the Council of Independent Colleges; in my experience, CIC has been an unflinching advocate for higher education. So I'm unsurprised, but still heartened, to see this from CIC president Marjorie Hass today. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

🛟 That last-ditch chemo trial your family member was hoping to be in 🥙 The investigation of a food-borne illness outbreak in the next town over 🧠The study looking for preventable causes of Alzheimer’s 🧪The assurance that TAXPAYER-PAID-FOR studies & data collection see the light of day

And there it is

Satire yes. Deep truth absolutely. The @democrats.org need to get their message and their messengers aligned. And right now, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are failing at the task.

This is not a drill.

How is this going to impact all the Americorps teachers in Title 1 schools??

If you have Peacock get out there and watch the SNL 50 concert ... Andy Samberg and Lady Gaga's number was comic insanity. Loved every minute.

MORE OF THIS. Democrats need to be holding these types of events - BUT being sure there are CLEAR calls to ACTION for constituents and viewers. I want to have a channel that compiles all of them, so that people have one spot to find them.

Excellent commentary from @newamerica.org on what the USDOE actually IS newamerica.org/education-po...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

There is no one who's played for the Celtics, no one who's coached the Celtics, no one who's called Celtics games, no one...who better represents what it means to be one, than Jeff Twiss. He is the keeper of the Celtics legacy. And now he..is a basketball immortal. Perfection.

Humanists for the win.

I don’t recall giving Greta Thunberg unfettered access to the levers of our entire government, do you?

The absolute gall of someone who was a heroin addict for 14 years wanting to send people like me, who take legally prescribed stimulants to help us manage ADHD symptoms, to what amount to labor camps. We are one step short of forced institutionalization for anyone who is neurodivergent.

Wonderful opening panel as we consider how #HigherEd leaders can lead with ❤️ . Honored to be the facilitator!!
