125k new students this summer, and then every new student in the fall, but if you want students to have aid disbursed in the fall, the system would need to be up and running now, not in Sept. This is going to be a mess, and as always, will harm poor students www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

My colleagues and I represented a distinguished group of retired military leaders on a brief explaining why domestic deployments of the military should happen only in the rarest of circumstances and in strict accordance with the law. Please read and share what they said.

I’ve had toddlers cry when serving them what was their favourite food the day before. There’s an entire article genre of “why is my toddler crying” www.boredpanda.com/funny-reason...

So just making sure I’ve got my understanding all squared away. States rights good when it’s abortion and lax gun laws? States rights bad when it’s clean energy and immigrants rights?

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

If you manage people, build good relationships with your teams when things are going well. It is how you will get through and still all like each other when things are bloody hard. My team is wonderful, and also very gracious of my current level of brain melt.

I got to spend a few minutes chatting with Chancellor Tammeil Gilkerson, from the Equity Avengers, about the defining tale of two cities moment early in my career that made me want to do what I can to support students, watch on for that, plus walk on musical choices www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzRT...

There's a real attentional trap that all protest movements face and have faced for a long time. If you pull off protests that are polite and civil, even if large, they will struggle to get coverage. Reporters will dismiss them as not newsworthy.

Diane Auer Jones gets it right here. Making full time 15 credits for Pell eligibility and especially making it impossible to get Pell if you are less than half time, would harm access and completion. Thankfully that change is not in the senate version www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

Wired is putting both the NYT and WaPo to shame with their excellent reporting. It's one thing to say our legacy media is broken (and it is!), but being able to point to a concrete example of how you do it right makes that indictment a thoroughly convincing one.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

If you live in LA and you need a reminder of why voting matters Just imagine if Robert Luna wasn’t our sheriff, and instead alex villanueva had won another term Most people probably don’t think of the importance of voting for sheriff on their ballot, but you are seeing it right now

“You’re trying really hard to not miss out on your child’s life, and to be there for them and with them, and be present, but your mind is always on school or work, or on what you need to get done every single day and trying to keep up on household stuff like the dishes and laundry.”

Two big takeaways from my new piece today. One, the Trump administration is trying to strong-arm an accreditor into doing its political bidding. Two, Columbia’s accredition isn’t in real jeopardy if the proper processes are followed. www.newamerica.org/education-po...

Chatted to @byjoshmoody.bsky.social this morning about UNC and Florida trying to set up a new accreditor. Seems like this is driven by ideology more than by making sure students get a high-quality education. www.insidehighered.com/news/governa...

I'm glad to hear @tressiemcphd.bsky.social use that microphone because I've been screaming into the void about this for years. People are so shitty to customer service folks bc they've never been on the other side of the phone/counter/clothes rack, etc. Bring back empathy.

Mmmmm hmmmmm. I had a lot of customer service jobs before going to grad school, and I always thought the world would be a better place if everyone had to spend 6 months in retail and 6 months waiting tables. People who haven't had the experience need to learn.

Society shouldn't be structured in a way that encourages this stratification where some can buy better experiences in the first place. For example, if everyone had to use the same health system, rich or poor, it would be better. When you can just buy better care, there's no incentive to improve...

I’ve lived here 15 years, and folks at home always ask if I like living here, and I say yes, but only because I’m fortunate to be fairly well off. If I wasn’t, I’d have moved back years ago. “Some people’s world actually works” @tressiemcphd.bsky.social preaching on ways to close empathy gaps.
