The right won't stop until it controls all media.

Oh jeez my life has been wasted!

"Oh you wrote a book about that? Why, there's already this meme."

Hands down the best part of spending a decade writing a book is that people on social media send you memes about it like they are all we need to know about the topic in question.

Are you really meme-splaining me rn?

I mean, sure. But like read the book because the history is more interesting and complicated than that.

A joke? Like the yellow part of an egg?

A conversation with Wellesley’s only professor on Turning Point USA’s Professor Watchlist Turning Point USA’s “Professor Watchlist” drew a surge of attention following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, on Sept. 10, prompting professors on the list to brac...

"The watchlist is not a little sunglasses icon. It is a scope with someone’s sight that you would think of on a gun for precision. That to me is terrifying. It is threatening. You don’t have to be very far between the lines, between figuring out what a watchlist might mean."

Thank you so much!

Weird that people expect a college football ranking system based almost exclusively on vibes to somehow also reflect merit.

The thing about "complying" with anti-DEI laws is that they are chock full of racist euphemism and designed to fix "problems" that do not actually exist.

You can't comply without validating the racist worldview on which these laws are based.

Thanks, Sid!

I’m not an alum but I just donated $100 to help support African American/women journalists at the University of Alabama. They were abandoned by their school, which shamefully buckled under Trump. Together we can support young journalists to maintain a free press & keep hope alive!!

Can a Group Allied With the Right Defend the 1st Amendment for All? — Assigned FIRE, a product of the “academic freedom” campaign, wants to protect free speech for everyone. Yet its stances show deference to religious views and a persistent anti-queer strain.
