This Wisconsin resident just voted for Susan Crawford—you know, the person for whom Elon Musk is NOT trying to buy a seat on the state Supreme Court. If you’re in Wisconsin, get yourself to the polls!

Robert McChesney, the Great Champion of Journalism and Democracy, Has Died The academic and activist inspired generations of people to challenge corporate power and support a media reform movement that lives on.

Shocked & saddened to hear of Robert McChesney’s death. This was someone who perfectly understood the vital link between academia & activism. #AcademicSky #CommSky #PolCom www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Super excited for this event at UW-Madison! It’s great to be reminded that people on this campus have been fighting back against state violence and white supremacy for decades!

Trump attacks DEI; faculty pick between silence, resistance While one professor says faculty are “pre-emptively censoring themselves” in response, others are defiant—while another is asking himself, “What would I be willing to lose my job for?”

Choose resistance! #AcademicSky #ComSky #PolCom #PhDSky #HigherEd

I hope he holds strong. We’re about to see corporate censorship of journalism at its ugliest—even if it happens retrospectively.

If this is true, this is one of the most disturbing things I’ve heard lately. It’s also a reminder that academia has long been entangled w/(and foundational to) racism in the United States. #AcademicSky

Well of course faculty governance isn’t “working” for the fat cats who want all the power. Regent Sures (and his ilk) would probably also prefer to crown Trump the king of the world.
