Loquacious Craniums.

Largest antebellum plantation house in America destroyed by fire The fire spread through the iconic 64-room historic building in White Castle, Louisiana, on Thursday.

lol. Burn baby burn. This history is better remembered in books, with critical commentary. Not by polishing it up at great expense and fetishizing wealth built on slavery. #Reparations

ICE is no longer an immigration enforcement agency, it has become an ideological suppression agency operating outside the bounds of immigration law and outside the constitution.

Medical Journals Get Letters From DOJ At least three journals received letters from a U.S. Attorney asking about 'competing viewpoints'

As my friend David Luebke asks, what would “woke pulmonology” even look like!?! To be clear, the rhetoric of science has long been the tool of racist eugenics, patriarchy, heteronormativity, etc. but this sense that even basic scientific knowledge can be ideologically gaslit via memo feels new.

Trump threatens all education, not just universities <i>Updated April 10 at 7:53 p.m.</i>

“ We, as faculty, must commit to organizing—within our institutions and across them…We should not continue the historic, often elitist, separation between college campuses and k-12 school corridors…They are shared challenges that link all those devoted to education and learning across the lifespan.”

Trump border czar’s town stood up for 3 kids detained by ICE — and won In the New York village of Sackets Harbor, teachers launched a days-long effort to secure the release of three students. Less than two weeks later, the students were back in their classrooms.

YouTube video by MSNBC The ridiculous real story behind the tariff plan that turned Donald Trump into a global disaster

If any of us who do research in the applied social sciences held on to hope that rational evidence based logic based research drove policy, or even that coherent but malevolent ideology drove policy, this should put that fantasy down for good.

Also the NYPD is a seriously dysfunctional organization.

I loathe this. I loathe so many of my fellow citizens for underwriting this. But mainly I loathe the feeling of inefficacy these things generate.

He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center. ICE's deportation actions signal that anyone who isn't a U.S. citizen is 'at risk – period,' immigration attorney says.

Another disappointed Trump voter, who thought the face-eating leopard would not eat his face. ICE was well within its rights to deport his wife, Alicia Muñoz, on grounds that she had overstayed her original visa...

This.

I don’t think this represents the view of a majority of faculty. We may be frustrated with admin salary offers, but most of us would express that discontent directly, in our own voice, and with more eloquence. This post should be taken down imo.

As an active union member I find this post embarrassing and inaccurate. Hiding behind an “anonymous student” to sling playground style insults is amateur vague booking.

Razor blades.

Yikes.

I just saw this. Guess it’s time to dump Google. It’s not the volume of things coming out of the WH that is overwhelming. It’s the cartoonishness of it.

This is literally the definition of genocide—which includes forced mass displacement.

Don’t rethink too much. A politics primarily organized around critique has proven to be a weak politics. We need some kind of speculative affirmation in our politics. The right has it. It’s just delusional in a way that is acutely harmful.

Maybe it would be weirder if David Brooks interviewed that burned out piece of faux intellectual trash?

Federal judge halts Trump freeze on federal grants and loans for a week The order from U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan came minutes before the funding freeze was scheduled to go into effect.

Hmm. It’s unfolding so fast it’s hard to keep up.
