One of the highlights of serving in shared governance was weekly exec senate meetings. Each meeting started with a prayer or poem and in my years there were a lot of poems. I miss the poems, but I mainly miss the people reading the poems. I read @sarahbc.bsky.social poem today and heard her voice. 👍

I'm obligated to Complicate This A Little by mentioning that Trump used "Do You Hear the People Sing?" as campaign music once and @whatsoperadoc.bsky.social wrote an article about it. Republicans think they're the true Les Mis understanders and Trump loves megamusicals! www.jstor.org/stable/10.54...

Remember way back in the beginning of the 2020s when the U.S. federal government provided free breakfast and lunch to children at public schools across the entire country from sea to shining sea for like two whole years?

It's time to start a thread on higher ed budget cuts announced due to actual and potential cuts to federal funding. Northwestern is placing additional scrutiny on all spending and trying to cut non-personnel spending by 10% this year.

"Other Republicans consider federal agency officials powerless to call off DOGE. They’re instead focusing their efforts on the White House as their offices are inundated with calls from frantic constituents." Impacted by DOGE cuts? Call your member of Congress.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Great 🧵 from the Prof. Most academics I know don't make much money; I know a few who have job security, a solid income, and maintain an upper-middle-class position. But if you want to compare who's overpaid, look at post-career politicians like Sununu's speaking fees.

Feb. 15, 1925: A “cycle of conservatism” has been ratified by the landslide election of President Coolidge and his pro-business picks for the cabinet. The Baltimore Sun notes the contrast with the Progressive Era “cycle” of 15 years ago. Will the conservative cycle, too, end?

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism. A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer. Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore. They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.
