Nathan Katz

Just like prominent Nazi war criminals such as Josef Mengele and Adolf Eichmann, who fled to Argentina after World War II.

Even for universities desperate for funding with conservative leaders, the inability to raise tuition and the potential cutting of very prestigious departments and programs would seem to be a nonstarter.

Also the fact that it’s “five years” certainly is ominous.

🚨🚨🚨

The Trump administration has laid it out: comply with their ideological agenda or else…

This is how we lose free thought in American higher education.

Some schools will be starved of resources. Other schools will be offered bribes. The end goal is the same. To make the universities an extension of the Trump administration. Shame on any of these institutions willing to take the bribes.

Currently listening to economists and social psychologists discover sociology from 75 years ago (with all its faults). This is the indignity every sociologist lives every day.

So as Trump starts talking about "the enemy within" I wanna point out that wrote about the GOP using this rhetoric in the 2016 primary. It's not just a trump thing they've been trying to normalize violence against America for years

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

We are looking for another socilologist!

It's showing in the "analysis" too. Not a lot of actually wrestling with data. More telling than showing, etc.

So I'm reviewing an article for a journal and they talk about how one of the strengths of their Ai-based analysis is that it takes away "researcher bias" in category construction. That's a fun way to speak out against human understanding

Affirmative action for conservatives strikes again! Remember folks there is no such thing as a neutral policy but there is such a thing as going out of your way to make the partisan elements more extreme and to squash civil liberties

I know we’re supposed to be Past That, Marge, but it really is astonishing that Trump—through a weird combination of total shamelessness on his part and sneaking regard on theirs—has largely gotten to the media to treat him in a way that applies to literally no-one else in American public life.

The "irreparable damage" that the Trump administration seeks to avoid, whether impounding Congressional funds or sacrificing its own employees in budget negotiations, is that anyone question that Trump's status as a sovereign King, rather than a President in a system designed with checks and balances. Actual harms to the victims of Trump and Vought's actions — federal employees losing their jobs, non-profits that may have to close, the public they serve, and ultimately the ability of Congress to respond to that public - are of secondary importance to protecting the grace and majesty of Trump under our new constitutional order.

Again and again the Supreme Court has issued barely written emergency injunctions, overturning lower courts, on the notion that Trump suffers some irreparable damage by abiding by the constitution. Meanwhile, real victims with real harms can expect no help. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Opinion | Ezra Klein Is Worried — but Not About a Radicalized Left

Gotta love how Klein's vision for democratic victory is "chase what's popular by abandoning the winning issues you have to replicate the failed strategies of the 2010s."

A representative for GWAR pushed against the New York Post's article a statement: "Normalizing violence? Humans don't need GWAR for that. There is nothing normal about the Looney Toon violence acted out on a CWAR stage. CWAR is absurdist spectacle. GWAR is to violence what the New York Post is to journalism. Ridiculous."

they’re putting Kimmel back on the air. I would now like to see the same amount of outrage for the firing of professors for their statements

Happy birthday to postpunk Johnny Cash! Guess I gotta listen to let love in tomorrow

I do like the idea of university admins having to read all the 1000+ pages of History of Economic Analysis

And the fact that the response is "well bring back Roseanne" and not "these people shouldn't be getting fired in the first place" is also rather telling

You can argue that Roseanne shouldn't have been fired for what she did in her downtime but that makes her case much closer to all the teachers and other folks who lost their jobs for comments about Kirk than it does Kimmel

A bit late to the party but the issues comparing Roseanne and Kimmel are:

1) Roseanne made racist tweets. Kimmel was doing his job (commentary on current events)

2) ABC firing Roseanne was in response to public backlash. ABC firing Kimmel was to make the presidential admin happy

DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the Trump administration’s promise to go after the “radical left” a study showing most domestic terrosim is far-right was disappeared.

Donald Trump's Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.

#nowspinning the demon and the devotee by the love me nots. So thrilled to finally get my hands on this

Pay attention. Something dark might be coming.

The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent.

Well this is the most terrifying thing I've seen in the last 24 hours

Now that you have a better understanding of how you hastily and wrongfully fired Matthew Dowd, you can apologize to him, and quietly reinstate his job. It was a mistake, clearly you can see this now.
