@npr.org @nytimes.com where is your coverage on how wildly illegal Trump’s “Board of Peace” is? You seem to just accept the criminal behavior and not question it. How about doing some journalism?

Why does anyone listen to this dipshit?

Conservatives spent years complaining about ”safe-spaces” and “liberal snowflakes” only to turn around and show they are absolutely terrified of ideas they don’t like (“racism is bad” “gender is fluid”) and willing to use state power to avoid the slightest discomfort.

The snowiest of flakes.

Maybe I’ll have students debunk this using the class material as my final exam essay prompt

I think my new final exam essay prompt might be to debunk these limits

When Americans visit Denny’s in Japan, they’re surprised how much better the food is. In the US Denny’s is where you end up but not where you wanted to go. In Japan, not so much

Did you know there are revisions planned for the American Community Survey (ACS), the largest annual survey in the nation?

The idea that an AI bot can streamline care for the elderly is so laughable. But it says so much about our values. Maybe we’ll get bots to call our parents when we’re too busy. Who am I kidding you know that will be a growth industry

This fight is bigger than Texas A&M—it is about whether public universities will serve democracy or fear it.

Anyone have a link to an online version of this textbook?

Sociology in college was just as meaningful for me. It's why I'm a sociologist! Does anyone have an online link to this textbook?

How can anyone now take these universities seriously? I have empathy for my colleagues trying to do their jobs under these circumstances. The state shows such disdain for its students as it thinks they can’t handle a real education.

The Board of Evil will take a piece of this country, a piece of that country. To avoid all this “peace” countries will have to pay him $1 billion but that only buys 3 years

The video shows he’s in the Epstein files

I’m glad he told us where the White House is located. Without that detail, we’d be lost.

I'm really proud of this academic freedom syllabus language that the @aaup.org CDAF fellows developed. Having language like this opens up an opportunity to talk with your students about what academic freedom is (and is not). If you add it to your syllabus this semester let me know how it goes!

Terrified the boy yells out “I want to live in a world with taxes!” and he’s transported back where he started. Thankfully there’s no Japanese version of Prager U

Forgive me if I’ve shared this before but Japanese sixth graders watch an animated film in which a boy complains about paying taxes and wishes he lived in a world without taxes. He’s then transported to such a world, where everything is private. Roads police fire dept.

When the 18th-century writer Samuel Johnson asked why “we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of negroes,” he was identifying no mere contradiction, but liberty as it was imagined by men who owned other human beings as property. Slaveholders such as John Calhoun saw slavery as inseparable from their own freedom, and they worried that the false doctrine of abolitionism would eliminate that freedom away. “Already it has taken possession of the pulpit, of the schools, and, to a considerable extent, of the press; those great instruments by which the mind of the rising generation will be formed,” Calhoun said. (It seems the “woke mind virus” was telling lies about the great and benevolent institution of American slavery as far back as two centuries ago.) Defending slavery, however, required invasive uses of power, such as banning antislavery literature and returning escaped Black people to bondage. Many white Americans in the 19th century began to understand that the “Slave Power” curtailed their freedoms as well. And this is what many people forget: Systems of domination rarely spread their blessings widely. The Redemption-era revocation of Black freedoms didn’t result in prosperity for white people writ large, but a Gilded Age in which the upper classes gained unfathomable wealth and economic crises left millions destitute. The nation may have held on to white supremacy, but it also got low wages, a threadbare welfare state, and a society dominated by the rich. Everyone else was too divided by race and class to challenge them.

The right, along the Roberts Court, is trying to nullify the Reconstruction amendments guaranteeing equality under the law, in order to restore the Antebellum Constitution, which envisions “liberty” as an eternal aristocracy of race and class (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Native American actress gave ICE agents her tribal ID. They called it 'fake,' she says

Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

It would be a shame if that 24/7 option for students to report profs got spammed incessantly

A thread by an A&M professor describing how the new rules will impact faculty. Syllabi must be fed into AI to be checked for content not aligned with approved syllabi; students will be encouraged to report faculty for inaccurate content; and young people are now being told they get to decide what a professor should teach.

Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

I don’t disagree that Ben Shapiro is trying to kick Carlson out. But I still think the analogy here is fights between White Citizen’s Councils and the Klan. On most points, these folks agree. But the establishment prefers their bigotry thinly veiled and this is harder to maintain in the Trump era.
