It is a great loss for all of us that you are gone Steven.

The brilliant Steven Nelson and his remarkable community of NGA staff and speakers at our cohosted conference “Color Lines across the United States and Mexico”. So sad to see he is no longer The Center Dean. Huge loss for all of us

Huge loss at The Center/ National Gallery of Art with early retirement of Steven Nelson as Dean. We so badly need his leadership in the art and art history worlds. mailchi.mp/nga/center-n.... I am so disappointed the NGA would let this happen.

USAID didn’t fail. It fed 127,000 kids—then was erased mid-crisis. No speech. No tribute. Just silence. They didn’t end a program. They liquidated a covenant. The last American promise not built on conquest—but care.

@kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social great interview with Peniel Joseph. Thank you

@kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social i would learn much from you interviewing Molly crabapple on her new book on the Jewish labor bund. That history offers another view of potential futures

Hard to believe this isn’t already the law.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

As we’ve said before now confirmed. FOIA requests reveal that DOGE employees are pulling in six-figure salaries, with many holding the title of “Expert,” a specific Office of Personnel Management (OPM) designation that pays around $190,000 a year.

A Supreme Court Justice Finally Just Stood up to Trump Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson criticized the president's unsettling attacks on the judiciary.

“I urge you to keep going, keep doing what is right for our country, and I do believe that history will vindicate your service," Jackson told fellow judges.

You can’t “deport” American citizens Earlier this week, ICE forcefully exiled three U.S.

You can’t “deport” American citizens ... phenomenal explainer

How can we laud AI as some great tool when we cant even get it to do simple customer service or store checkout? I want people who can offer real service not stupid AI

My thoughts from watching right wing media work over the last decade… changing language around diversity, equity, and inclusion is a trap. You end up confirming their allegations that your commitments to DEI were wrong, and you’ll later be accused of covering up programs that you know to be wrong.

Trump administration makes major cuts to Native American boarding school research projects At least $1.6 million in federal funds for projects meant to capture and digitize stories of the systemic abuse of generations of Indigenous children in boarding schools at the hands of the U.S. gover...

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

We’re not sure what separates the Trump admin from the “terrorists” it claims to be fighting. You watch whats happening and can’t even process it—what the hell is going on is all we can think. Our Constitution grants everyone within this country the same legal protections, regardless of citizenship.

Thank you for this

House Republicans are set to pass a voter suppression bill that would disenfranchise millions “It's a five-alarm fire for American voters and for election officials”

🚨House voting on SAVE Act today, worst voter suppression bill ever considered by Congress. Could disenfranchise:

-21 million w/out access to citizenship docs
-69 million women who took spouses last name
-ends online + mail registration & voter reg drives

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Nearly 150 Students Have Had Visas Revoked and Could Face Deportation Dozens of schools, including the University of California and Harvard, said the Trump administration ended the visas of their students in recent days. For many, the reasons are unclear.

Nearly 150 international students have had their visas revoked by the Trump administration. Many weren’t given a reason.

From bad to bad. Who is writing these???

Sackets Harbor, NY school principal Jaime Cook speaks to a reporter about protesting today for her three students who were abducted by ICE:

Even more lame.

Simultaneously an attack on free speech, higher education, and the international students who subsidize American students
