Former faculty in the Department of Gender, Women's. And Sexuality Studies at Iowa. And it was absolutely one of the best places to learn about the intersections of gender, race, and class. I was surrounded by brilliant scholars teaching in the heartland. That's why they shut us down.

One of the most miserable things about living in this era is having to watch the stupidest & most arrogant people in the world have to relearn The Why of literally everything good that we collectively do the hard way.

The answer is always β€˜Because a bunch of people died, fuckwit.’

@louiseseamster.bsky.social connecting the dots on tRumps bullshit tensions between the fed cutting interest rates and a possible recession. Turns out, because it's happened before, it'll make him and his oligarchs even richer.

When reading is not seen as the best use of "instructional time" seems like we've reached a boiling point in education.

NOPE. They're actively attacking all the "Democratic-loved programs" during the shutdown. They're not talking to *us*. They're talking to the ascending upper white middle class. They *are* having more babies. And leaning into that tradlife.

Paid maternity leave?
Free childcare?
More $$ for public K-12 education?
An end to soaring maternal mortality rates?
Abortion for when pregnancy threatens our lives?

Manufacturing a crisis so they can label "protests as terrorism" is as Professor @mark-bray.bsky.social explains it "directly out of an authoritarian playbook." In solidarity with my historian colleague and comrade, Mark Bray.
