My advisor, lost NEH funding on important research projects meant to highlight the history of enslaved Africans and their descendants. Targeted grants were centered on the history of today's minority groups. Why should we believe that this wasn't a willful and targeted action?

Done🫡

Several international students have had their VISAS revoked here at MSU. These are dystopian times indeed...everyone should be furious about this.

The image is a screenshot of a social media post by Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders ). The post reads: "So. This is the state of American democracy. The richest guy in the world is handing out million dollar checks in order to win a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat and elect an anti-choice judge. We MUST overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections." Below the post, there is an image of Elon Musk holding a large check made out to "America PAC" for "Nicholas Jacobs" in the amount of $1,000,000, signed by Elon Musk.

Money corrupts, and money in politics corrupts completely.

Headed to VA this weekend for a conference on Data-Informed methods for slavery studies. Let's learn to use technology to remember those who labored and suffered, with little mention in history!

Omg its such a good movie!!! Love 80s flicks!

"Jim never says thank you at home 🤔🤔"

You, sir, understood the assignment, unlike much of the mainstream news. Walk away from tyranny, keep your head held high & your conscience clean. You're the definition of a good person with integrity.

As a current graduate student at an R1 University, I can say that this funding freeze screws my colleagues and I over.

We're supposed to pretend like everything is fine with this asshole in power?

Takes every shred of energy you've got I stg

The look of pure shock when I tell people that I'm a historian of slavery... and they always ask: "Why??" And I always reply "someone's got to do it!"

This year is starting to look eerily similar to the plot to 1984

what the fuck is this? the media fails its first test of Donny’s second presidency

here's today's post: "what the fuck is this?" — the media fails its first test of Donny’s second presidency.

Zuck MET WITH trump to preemptively kiss the ring--classic.

Literally.

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

Biden has issued preemptive pardons for many of Trump's supposed enemies. In a year or so, Joe's presidency will gain considerable luster.

Family :)
