All part of the conservative war on higher ed. At one level, a war on curriculum. Another on accreditation. Another on funding. Another on freedom of expression. And here on the fundamental decision-making body behind universities: the trustees. All aimed at one target: to bring higher ed to heel.

"Stamping out antisemitism" -- from the administration that rode to power by pushing the biggest, ugliest antisemitic conspiracy narrative out there: the so-called "great replacement".

A useful read. At the heart of the new right is one insistence: at the deepest level, political/social power must be secured at the cultural level. It is in culture that ideas, beliefs, sentiments, and values are forged. And so, the far right has spent decades investing in a right-wing... 🧵

I wrote a whole book on this. Except that what Trump is pushing isn't exactly nostalgia. It's melancholia: an inability to let go of an imagined (golden) past -- and rage over the manufactured belief that it has been stolen from (the white) you (by all the usual bogeymen haunting right-wing myths).

The central article of faith for the far right: that human beings are fundamentally not equal. That some people and cultures are simply better (or worse) than others. And ultimately, “west is best”. Here posted, mask off, by a member of the nation’s highest legislative body.

I’ve noticed an uptick in dismissals of the concerns of teachers about AI. Some say that it’s their job to find a way to evaluate work that AI can’t replicate. I would just ask that you talk to real teachers and really listen. I’d also suggest reading a bit about writing and the brain.

This is what your administration looks like when your entire political imagination is consumed by the far right fantasy of the "great replacement". Ethnonationalist fever dreams.

And, of course, let's not forget when he went full fash to proclaim that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of the country." This is just like the tariff thing. Or the revenge tour thing. He repeatedly, publicly promised to do the things he's doing.To claim otherwise is utter bad faith.

Correct. A collective, uncompromising, industry-wide front is the only path to defend intellectual and research freedom. From the elites to the regionals to the community colleges. Hang together or hang separately.

Perfect rendering of the moral vacuity of our tech-fash-capitalist moment. "Lawless regime enlisting anti-democratic tech oligarch to develop comprehensive security-surveillance database on its own citizens? Lookit that value soar!"

If you follow the far right, you know that “remigration” is part of their paranoiac fantasy of an immigration “invasion” or “replacement”. Because they view immigration as a mortal threat to the ethnic nation, only the strongest possible remedies will do. They speak of a “reconquest” of Europe. 🧵

One core task of this moment will be to fully capture the cruelty and violence (yes, violence) this man unleashed upon the world -- and the disdain for humanity upon which it rests.

The party that has embraced voter suppression measures and attempted to overturn a free and fair election is suddenly very concerned with the health of democracy.

This is really the perfect use of generative AI: to create a report whose purpose is solely to exist as A Report, which no one is supposed to read because no one involved in its creation even pretends to have the slightest genuine interest in the actual facts at issue.

Your daily reminder: fascism works by breaking those institutions of civil society that could provide sites of belonging, meaning, and truth outside of the state/leader. In this demolition project, the universities/science come first -- as sources of truth/knowledge outside the word of The Leader. 🧵
