It’s the perfect date!!!

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power.

Guys, this is David Brooks in the NY Times. If it's like this 90 days into this presidency with people who wouldn't be caught dead saying it last year, imagine it in two years. Something good is happening, we just have to lift everybody up so they can see it.

Can you see the #chart? Having HIMYM flashbacks of Marshall and his pie chart of his favorite bars and his bar chart of favorite pies! Did DOGE cut the a/v budget??

Watch these incredible moments from Senator @coreybooker.com’s filibuster speech. His filibuster was record breaking 25 hours & 4 minutes. He edged past the previous high mark set by South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond, who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957 for 24 hours & 18 minutes.

Trump and DOGE Propel V.A. Mental Health System Into Turmoil A chaotic restructuring order threatens to degrade services for veterans of wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Deep take on #signalgate. National security people too lazy to go to their SCIF in their basement while forcing VA therapists to violate HIPPA while returning to the office.

@aom-omt.bsky.social welcome!!!!!!

Trump targets Jenner & Block in latest executive order aimed at law firms — Reuters President Donald Trump expanded his attacks on major U.S. law firms on Tuesday as he signed an executive order targeting Jenner & Block, which represents clients challenging some of his major policies...

Unfortunately, no relation.

THIS IS TERRIFYING!!!

5 revelations from the Trump administration’s war plan texts — POLITICO Vice President JD Vance suggested the president doesn’t understand the stakes of the Houthi strikes and other takeaways from the messages inadvertently shared with a journalist.

Suddenly my accidental “reply all” to my department doesn’t seem so embarrassing. At least there were no emojis!! 🙊🫢😭🗣️🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼 #academicsky

These countries have issued advisories about travelling to the U.S. Several countries have added travel warnings for their citizens travelling to the United States in light of concerns they could face problems at the border because of the Trump administration’s polici...

QUESTION to @academic-chatter.bsky.social #academicsky
What are your conference organizations saying in response to the travel situation in the US? What is the appropriate level reaction?

Absolutely. Every time. But if I am pausing- with all my privilege and education- that makes it scary

For the first time in my very privileged life, I am feeling the urge to think carefully about what I post about politics. Will it impact my ability to enter a foreign country? Go to a conference? Do some projects? Get funding? This is how freedom dies #academicsky

This is the kind of moral courage we need more of.

PS Please please, if you can actively squirrel away some money every month (as much as you can), it may make a difference if one day you face a similar choice. Courage is a lot easier if you can feed yourself/loved ones after exercising it.

One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

🚨 NEW: VoteVets is launching a six-figure ad blitz across TV, streaming, digital, and billboards—exposing GOP Veterans dodging constituents while Musk’s DOGE fires thousands of Veterans.

They promised to fight for Veterans—now they’re silent. Stop Elon’s war on Veterans. Demand Congress act!

Let’s flip this

Can you imagine the outcry if any other percentile held this much power, influence & wealth over the entire populace!!

Say, women (all kinds) in their 50s for example 🤔

Time for other countries to step up!!!! Compete for talent! Fund research.

And we should be as loud as we can to make them harder to find.

Accreditation is a pain in the ass anyway. And it looses all of its power if top schools refuse to be accredited. #BoycottAACSB @academic-chatter.bsky.social

Chest feeding now = human generating milk from my nipples? This is disgusting, particularly as it is being used as strategy to placate the sexist and homophobic base and distract them from the fact that this administration is also not serving their intetests.
