The federal government’s “Compact” will put the University of Texas at Austin under political control. Join with Longhorns for Liberty before the Board of Regents meeting on November 19-20 and tell President Jim Davis and the Regents to protect UT Austin’s independence by rejecting the Compact.

This image does not show private property sign Diermeier put up to keep "outsiders" out. Time for universities to stand up for freedom, not advocate "institutional neutrality," which, as an alum wrote in the school paper, assumes we are "all stupid" and don't see cowardice for what it is.

Sickening, but predictable. In such times people/institutions MUST stand up against authoritarianism--"institutional neutrality" is BS, another form of silence as complicity.

we were there, and would have been nice if more officials of the Democratic party came and spoke. Time for everyone to stand up

Can't stand them both, but Johnson is genuinely the devil

We must all step forward to assert our basic right to free speech and save this country.

This man hates America

I meant interesting--"our audience does not care about this type of work (a direct quote)." Reviewed a lot of essays, never done that--have no idea what is interesting to people, just interested in the scholarship

To all fellow academics... a familiar experience... had an article rejected (after nearly 4 month wait, not bad in this business), but reviewers referred repeatedly to a presupposed journal audience that would not find the work uninteresting (too historical).

to be clear, Trump is waging private war against his own citizens...

Here's to hoping, after a CT scan that shows spread of disease. to paraphrase Woody Allen, Mozart was dead for 30 years before he reached my age...

What seems to me missing in recent discussions of opposing Trump is sufficient emphasis on the fact that he is unhinged, impaired, spews a rambling form of hatred that warrants all out effort to remove him from office. I fear that Dems to often distill the incoherence/hatred into policy

Democrats have to make Americans understand that Trump's "big" bill aims at using revenue to expand ICE and military spending that would otherwise go to social programs and help citizens, for whom he and the Republican have always had contempt. Need Dems to convey the gravity of this.

Ned Price @nedprice X.com On a single Saturday in September: --Trump instructed his AG to go after specific political enemies. --We learned that his DOJ ended an investigation into his border czar, who was caught on camera taking a $50k cash bribe. --His Pentagon top brass threatened to expel journalists who report info not cleared by them. --His WH spoke to a shady deal that will see TikTok in the hands of a consortium of GOP mega-donors. --Trump threatened "bad things" if we don't retake Bagram AFB. --His most senior counterterrorism official is in a Twitter spat with Laura Loomer. None of this is normal. All of it is so dangerous and corrosive to our democracy. 8:41 PM • 9/20/25 • 104K Views

In for cancer CT today at Vanderbilt. Told no results for 3 weeks--continuation of an overall and unnecessarily bad experience with Neuroendocrine dept. Rude staff, uncaring doctor (Ramirez). Have gone primarily to Sloan Kettering for treatment (excellent). Advice--don't get sick!

It needs be said that while dealing with serious illness, I am overwhelmed by kind messages from former students (who mostly don't know). Advice, never be cynical about teaching, we get as much back as put in. It's not all about scholarly status.

To simplify further, Trump freed those who, at his command, attempted to overthrow an election and democracy. Any subsequent claim to claim to action on behalf of law and order is absurd, in addition to unconstitutional deployment. National guard as Trump's personal SS...

A favorite ,formerly on Ocean Avenue. Home of Coney Island square knish, now made only at the Gabilla factory in LI. Have them sent to Nashville

When did social democrat become a pejorative? FDR won 4 terms, set the stage for Europe.

As health issues continue... an observation. Serious illness is emotionally more difficult for those around us. The sick person becomes a pragmatist--what to can I do, what can't I do--negotiating limits and symptoms that minimize emotions--if that makes sense.

Wish people would stop asking me about Di Fara's pizzeria near where I grew up. Genuine locals do not identify their neighborhoods by pizzerias--and the one pictured below, on Kings Highway, was beloved, along with at least 3 others on that street.

Home, back in the day (or a little before me)

Indeed! It is also about authoritarianism, another nail in the coffin of democracy...

And the news media actively assists by covering and projecting the BS--responsible voices, democrats, need to respond with own flood of truth, this is a species of war, and needs to be identified as such

🚨TESTIMONY OF THE YEAR: A Texas voter just torched Donald Trump and Greg Abbott during a redistricting hearing - and it was BRUTAL:

“He cheated on the golf course…
He cheated on his taxes…
He cheated on his wives…
He cheated on democracy…”

But then came the mic drop 👇
