I've taught college for almost 30 years, & things are much different now. Treating students like that will get you investigated. This year I published a collection of professor's investigation stories, including from @robertfrodeman.bsky.social & myself.

Congrats! Visit as in, give a lecture?

As I'm sure you know, the founders were terrified of the demos and sought a somewhat anti-democratic constitution for this reason.

But if you're gonna finger the invention of Fox, why not blame Reagan's repeal of the Fairness Doctine?

George Mason is a strange choice of universities for Trump to target. Its been the beneficiary of extensive Koch bros largesse. The law school is even named after Antonin Scalia.

It seems clear why the GOP keeps electing folks like her & MTG mad: they make the libs crazy. This is reason enough to keep sending them back to congress. The question is why the GOP base is so aggrieved.

I think she's experienced a breakdown of some sort over the past year. She used to be an unremarkable GOP rep, then she just became erratic.

My university just circulated suggested rephrasing for a bunch of terms that trigger the federal granting agencies. Here are some of the offending terms. The list comes from a lobbying outfit called Thorn Hill, which lists both govt & corporate sponsors.

One minute behind the wheel of this Trabant made it clear what a failure communism is.

Large-scale incarceration. Also, no new immigration judges were funded.

Um, how do we know if this charming story is true?

Oof

Please elaborate. How so?

Yes, this is bad for porn.

But porn famously has no clear legal definition. As such:

This is a direct path to censoring anything the GOP wants to censor and can argue is “adult” - info on birth control, queer identity, anything about trans people or gender diversity or safe sex or HIV or drag or

This is a real text a friend sent me about the New York mayoral election.

At the @heterodoxacademy.bsky.social meeting, I’ve learned that personality testing was suppressed in Soviet psychology because it undermined the state’s belief in its ability to craft the New Soviet Man. Interesting.

Thank you! She’s a good girl who loves to sit on the couch with us.

Wilson is perhaps the most eminent sociologist of the past half century, so anything that brings him back into public view is a good thing.

A Wilson tidbit: he called the 1965 Moynihan report a "prophetic document."

William Julius Wilson is perhaps the leading sociologist of the past half-century, so I welcome any effort to inject his work into public discourse.

I’ll just reiterate that voters who read newspapers and watch the network news, the forms of media most readily attacked here for ‘sane washing’ (or whatever), were far more likely to not vote for Trump — www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

I know Yglesias isn't everyone's favorite, but it's amazing how angry many people -often with PhDs-get at a suggestion that there are tradeoffs in politics. Remarkably, many who purport to believe the republic is hanging by a thread are in the "no compromise with the voters!" camp.
