It's publication day for UNIVERSITY KEYWORDS. Across 27 sharp essays, the book offers a critical account of the political economy of US higher education, how it came to be structured this way, and how together we might build a better university together.

The book has a cover!

I have a book cover!

Upper Manhattan came through!

Let’s go!

Thank you for doing this important research

12 UC Berkeley students' visas restored by ICE in nationwide reversal At UC Berkeley, 12 students have had their status restored today after 23 were terminated since April 4.

One of the happiest updates I’ve written since I started following this story. 12 students back in status and maybe more to come. Across the country, students are saying their SEVIS is back.

Our elders shouldn’t have to deal with this bullshit.

Fascism always draws from existing forms of state violence, social hierarchy, etc. That doesn’t mean there is no change. 1933 was a turning point. So is 2025.

I’ve been here lately too. I usually try to resist this kind of attitude — welcome people when they get there — but this one feels hard for me specifically bc it was a failure of people who would surely identify as antifascists to see fascism coming and speak about what was on the horizon.

Is there a link you could send re: the Cornell weapons research? I’m working on something about the history & politics of research funding for James Vernon’s retirement conference

Middle East Studies Association letter on deportation

(This is what leadership looks like)

The biggest reason government officials aren't giving any specifics about the criteria by which these arrests and deportations are selected, is that the criteria is "pro-Israel think-tanks and advocacy organizations created lists of troublesome individuals and gave them to us."

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked.

The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts.

Very “the owl of Minerva flies at dawn” energy, that quote

Amazing

NYC Trans oral history project and Fordham’s Bronx African American History Project are two I’ve used.

U.S. military removes words 'history,' 'respect,' 'dignity' from digital presence as part of DEI review The Department of Defense issued a Digital Content Refresh document to comply with DEI removal from the armed services. TPR obtained a document laying out the guidance of what to remove.

For those historians keeping track, esp #milhist folks, “history” is now a flagged word bc of its apparent connection to #DEI. Canary in a coal mine, indeed. @smh-historians.bsky.social 🗃️ www.tpr.org/military-vet...

Picture of quote from W.E.B. DuBois's Black Reconstruction in America. "When the Confederates returned to domination, the public schools, which had attained a degree of efficiency never before reached in the South, were greatly curtailed. One hundred and ten of the teachers, many of them native-born, were dismissed at once, and their places were filled with intolerate Confederates."

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Chacaby’s autobiography might be relevant, especially the later chapters

The NEA language is honestly so chilling

Anybody who gets an NEA grant now sure had better use it to advance trans liberation.

Trump maintains funding freeze at NIH, defying court order The Trump administration is still prohibiting National Institutes of Health (NIH) staff from issuing virtually all grant funding, an NIH official tells Popular Information.

BREAKING

The Trump administration is maintaining a funding freeze at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in defiance of two federal court orders.

The ongoing freeze was confirmed by an NIH official and internal correspondence reviewed by Popular Information.

UPDATE: Children’s Wisconsin hospital reinstates gender-affirming care for trans teen after canceling in wake of Trump’s executive order The order is being challenged in court as illegal and unconstitutional.

Incredible news. After immense pressure and threats of protest, Children's Wisconsin has reinstated treatment for at least one trans teen under its care.

Several hospitals across the country determined their fear of Trump's illegal EO was more important than their trans patients.

Massive protest happening in Union Square right now to defend trans youth from President Trump’s attempts at eradication.
