We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities.

Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement.

It’s illegal and un-American.

The financial struggles plaguing our postsecondary education sector are not a sudden development, nor are they solely a result of federal changes to international student permit caps.

Florida Hands Over Prime Miami Property for Trump Library

In March, Trump ordered the elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, an independent agency that is the main source of federal funding for public libraries

Getting a research grant is 10% coming up with a good idea, 20% writing a polished application, and 70% hitting reload on a web browser to see if the SSHRC website will appear.

The messages on the casings were video game references. @wsj.com & @theguardian.com & GOP leadership went with “trans ideology” instead.

Jeez. My book and nearly ever paper I’ve ever published, including ones in Spanish, are in there. 🧐 No wonder AI seems so smart. 🙄

citation metrics since digitization. Still high quality but lower “impact”….

I suspect that endnotesfootnotes rather than in-text citations are correlated with lower citation counts in the future. Most bibliographic databases rely on a separate reference list. That en/fn are more common in humanities or humanities-adjacent social sciences, it probably contributes to….
