Yesterday, I joined my brilliant colleagues at #AERA2025 for a panel, "AI and Educational Justice: A Critical Conversation." An audience member asked for more concrete ways to resist the imposition of AI on teachers/students - ahem, Trump's EO on AI - and I wanted to expand on my answer. 🧡

We're suing Trump to save library funding. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services.

The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)

If your grant is canceled, you don't have to just accept it. Head over to @ach.bsky.social for tips for what to do next, and keep an eye out for their upcoming town hall.

Really proud of how my professional organization is showing up in this moment. Do you know what yours is doing to respond?

Judith Butler, philosopher: β€˜If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’ A leading figure in feminism and gender studies, the thinker welcomes EL PAÍS in California after being voted one of the most influential minds in the world

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references.

It's brutal.

And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

doing my morning calls to my representatives and today I let out an accidental burp while I was leaving a message for john fetterman. I suspect that will actually soften him toward my position and he will now advocate against the government dismantling the department of education

As an educator, it’s increasingly difficult to name a professional conviction or pedagogical commitment that justifies the use of generative AI. The daily use of AI must not overshadow tangible actions to redress our climate crisis lest we further erode our position as trusted stewards of learning.
