It is almost like he doesn't have access to some of the greatest minds in epidemiology and public health.

I think you are going to have to change it to *hours* without an impeachable offense.

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

I don't think this country has lost its soul. Not yet. But it's lost its way.

We're going to need to smuggle flu shots and other vaccines into the country soon, aren't we? I really hate FAFO.

I'm excited to be in Greenville for the South Carolina Sociological Association meetings. I'm nearly as excited to have a room and bathroom to myself.

Institutional Neutrality Is Censorship by Another Name Its recent vogue owes much to conservative think tanks.

Thank you to @chronicle.com for publishing my op-ed on institutional neutrality. "Neutrality is a historically recent invention. The historical norm has been that college administrations, as part of their academic missions, take a stand for various causes." #EduSky

I just called and left a message with constituent services to share how this would hurt a family member and to ask to withdraw from this.
