MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy. SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.

Free speech for Nazis, jail time for students. But sure, wokeness is the real threat to freedom. 🙄

Actual footage of my PhD advisor and I trying to act like it's not an objectively awful time to be a baby academic in the humanities rn #academicsky #phdsky

Week 7 in a row of spending ten minutes considering "de-wokifying" my lectures before deciding fuck it, let them fire me if they have an issue. I'd rather go back to serving coffee for a living than be complicit in white/straightwashing art history to protect fragile egos.

Black history month starts today and this administration would like us to forget it,

We've lost an absolute legend, who paved the way for so many artists behind her. She curated a show that's about to open at Rutgers that brings together 90 Indigenous American contemporary artists (which I can't even fathom). I encourage everyone who is able to go check it out.

Getting an education when you're poor is hard enough as it is. I worked 2 jobs, did community college first, maxed out financial aid, worked my butt off to get scholarships, & still ended up with a mountain of debt. More hurdles is ensuring that higher ed is something only the wealthy can access.

Can we start referring to all cis MAGA folks with exclusively they/them pronouns? I mean, they're going around deciding other people's gender, so why can't we do the same? Plus it'll be fun to watch them freak out.

If the entire population of Chicago can refuse to call the Sears Tower by its updated name, we can ALL do the same for Denali. McKinley who? Don't know her.

"Manifest Destiny" was used as a justification for continue/intensify an attempted genocide and the forced removal of Native peoples. It's based on beliefs of entitlement due to perceived racial and moral superiority. The fact that so few people are calling this out is ALARMING.

In case you're not keeping track, executive orders addressing the following have been revoked: racial equity, prevention of discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation (in & out of school), the requirement of political employees to sign an ethics pledge, action against climate change,(1/2)

Three hours in and they're already doing Nazi salutes.
