this is especially concerning and frankly out of touch given what Trump has said about the Tesla Takedown protesters.

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

Although part of Trump's anti-DEI executive orders have been struck down, not all of the restrictions on federal funding were blocked: NEH NOFOs still disallow funding projects that promote "gender ideology" and "environmental justice" (p. 16) www.neh.gov/sites/defaul...

Wouldn’t be surprised if they start detaining more academics. This is part of Trump’s plan to destroy higher ed. As the Khalil case shows being in a blue state is no protection. University administrators are not prepared to defend their students, faculty, and staff, & some will be actively complicit

So now the Trump plan to destroy US higher ed is clear: (1) defund academic research; (2) ‘disappear’ academics for speech; (3) eliminate the Ed department so there isn’t even the pretense of oversight over the predatory student loan industry.

Also this should go without saying but Trump does not care about tenure. Tenure will not protect you. Affiliation with a wealthy private institution will not protect you. Time for mass, unprecedented solidarity in academia, across disciplines, rank, and institution.

The @nehgov.bsky.social has been instrumental in supporting the production of Worlds Turned Upside Down and numerous other projects @rrchnm.bsky.social that seek to democratize access to history and historical knowledge for the benefit of the public good. We need more, not less, humanities funding.

One of the things I am thinking about is 2026 elections, especially for local/state office. For many races, I want to wait to see the full field we have running. For one of them, my vote is clear: @briannatitone.bsky.social should be our new Colorado state treasurer. (explanation follows)

My heart goes out to all the recent PhDs who were finalists for various jobs only to learn that hiring freezes are being implemented at 11th hour. Job market was already hard enough. 💔

We must demand better. Not Gavin Newsom, who snatches the belongings of unhoused folks and plays paddy cake with Steve Fucking Bannon. Not Rahm Emanuel, who covered up a murder, closed 50 schools, and shuttered half of Chicago's publicly funded mental health clinics. We need new and better politics.

Is my reporting coming tomorrow deeply alarming? Yes. But on the bright side, business schools and financial law classes have some really exciting and clear readings they can assign to get students interested in what is typically boring and dusty subjects!

Thread about the Perkins Coie Executive Order (spoiler: Perkins Coie won, at least for now). Whatever you think about PC/large law firms, the President targeting specific people or entities by executive order is totalitarian shit, and I’m glad people are pushing back against it forcefully.

Today I spoke with a Black woman who tried to warn an organization to develop an emergency plan for operations if they lost substantial funding. The org leaders thought she was exaggerating and failed to develop a plan. They just lost more than half of their budget, as she predicted. Still no plan..

U.S. people, remember to call your representatives and tell them to vote NO on the continuing resolution. If you need their numbers or would like a script for your call (it's not scary, you'll talk to one of their nice aides), look no further: 5calls.org

Fellow Coloradans, this is about the continuing resolution for funding. A vote for this is a vote for Trump's budget, slashing necessary funds from Medicaid and other programs. We need them to vote NO on cloture and NO on the CR. John Hickenlooper: (303) 244-1628 Michael Bennet: (202) 224-5852

Berkeley is joining other cities in banning software that allows multiple landlords to act like a cartel in setting rents. Competition brings down prices. Alongside with new construction, anti-monopoly, anti-trust action can help reduce prices. www.berkeleyside.org/2025/03/12/b...
