To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

A lot of people who’ve posted that “I don’t know how to explain that you should care about other people” quote need to know that they should care about other people. I want my tax dollars to go to paying for insulin for the most vile MAGA asshole you ever heard of; that’s part of “everyone”.

The rest of the room, almost all men and I assume elected officials, remained silent as Trump levied threats to state funding like a junior mob boss. Janet Mills, however, understands that if you let this shit pass without resistance, he'll come back for even more next time. He will never stop.

I keep hearing people say Trump is dumb for firing immigration judges just as he’s trying to dramatically ramp up deportations. It’s only dumb if you assume they plan to respect due process for those they deport. I think “ominous” is the better word. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/18/m...

I mean, he's saying he's a tyrant out loud. It is unacceptable that he's saying this, and the currently docile polity of America better come to understand that this man must be immediately contained.

Trump declared himself above the law today. Literally announced it. Pinned it to his feed for emphasis. The White House reposted it. All to underscore it’s not some passing thought, which would be bad enough. It’s not the top story on any news site that I can find. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re-listening to @sceneonradio.bsky.social Season 4. The Episode 1 framing of the American Revolution as a movement by the richest colonists to stay rich avoid "government meddling" by the English monarchy is an enlightening angle on current events.

We should all be outraged that the people who have dedicated their lives to protecting and interpreting our most precious natural and historic resources are being treated so callously by our federal government. I am sick to my stomach.

If you understand that apartheid was an economic system first, and a brutally violent system of social segregation second, you'll understand how Elon Musk is trying to update the principles from his homeland, and bring about a neo-apartheid system in the US. My latest in @thenation.com

From @mashagessen.bsky.social on why "obeying in advance" in the face of autocratic power because of a sense of responsibility for others or serving a higher purpose (say, university funding or student well being) is a fool's game. "Anticipatory obedience is a key building block of their power."

This is what a cap on “indirect costs” through NIH grants will do. Going from >50% of grant total to 15% will change how your local university healthcare systems function everyday.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

Every time you write about higher ed and DEI, please define what DEI actually means. Beyond even "diversity, equity, and inclusion." DEI represents a suite of programs and practices that colleges use to try to make their campuses more welcoming to students and staff from different backgrounds.
