Why Lorgia García Peña Was Denied Tenure at Harvard A decision not to retain a beloved Latinx-studies professor raised questions about the university’s commitment to students of color.

6 years ago, as I prepared to host students for Thanksgiving, I received a call informing me Harvard denied me tenure. Before I had a chance to process, it was all public. This year the memory stings more as I watch dear colleagues and friends like @durba.bsky.social experience the same violence.

I have written and submitted 12 rec letters since Wednesday morning and I have another 28 to go. All due December 1st. There has to be a better way. #academicsky

🫂 to you and fuck Harvard. May it continue to sink and rot in its own filfth.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

A Free Black Woman, a Memorial to Enslaved Laborers, and the Battle Over U.S. History How Charlottesville’s memorial landscape can help us understand — and combat — the White House’s violent plans to reshape the nation’s public spaces.

Since the U.S.’s inception as a nation in the 18th century, white people have deployed monuments to territorialize their power through representations of famous men, writes Mabel O. Wilson in her essay for Issue No. 8

Such a loss. 💔

Those of us in the Effron Center are also devastated. Such loss. Such a shock. 💔

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.
