Newsom is an awful man without a single principled bone in his body but I am actually genuinely shocked by how terrible his political instincts are in this moment the base is screaming for someone to stand up to this fascist kleptocracy and he thinks they want him to pal around with the fascists

Just taught about the MS St. Louis and the reasons we have asylum laws only to have my institution labeled anti-Semitic by an administration trying to end asylum. (Remember we said “Never Again”?)

I’m not saying I’m depressed, but I am saying that my cat has a UTI and while I wait for her to get better I’ve given up trying to stop her from physically peeing on me

When I originally watched “Don’t Look Up” I found the dark humor deeply depressing. Lately I’ve been itching for a rewatch and thinking about the ending as uplifting and aspirational. Not sure what that says about my current mental health.

The astronaut meme. The person in front says wait states rights is just a bad faith argument to stall racial and gender progress. The person in the back says always

as we dismantle social science & humanities and promote career paths and STEM, will only privileged people get to be thinkers? I don’t have the words yet. Feels like we’re being tasked only with making workers not philosophers, leaders. Only the leisure class gets art and beauty and deep thoughts?

This week my institution announced massive private-public partnerships to become “AI-powered” across 23 campuses, hosted Dr. Cornel West to talk about love, free speech & the importance of education, and announced massive budget cuts including dept and college mergers. The whiplash I’m experiencing…

It is a good time to reflect on the challenges air traffic controllers face and the time Reagan fired 11,000 for striking for better conditions. As with Boeing’s plane issues, it seems like better labor relations and staffing could have prevented last night’s tragedy www.npr.org/2021/08/05/1...

Looking Back On When President Reagan Fired The Air Traffic Controllers
Thursday marks 40 years since former President Ronald Reagan fired more than 11,000 striking air traffic controllers. That dealt a serious blow to the American labor movement.

While Gavin Newsom cuts the budget to the largest public university system in the country, CFA faculty and lecturers are meeting to discuss how we can protect our students from ICE raids across the state. The dems won’t save us. We keep us safe.

A 17 year old opened fire in a Nashville high school today. Hours before police shared his name, fringe extremist communities correctly identified him as one of their own. He left behind a manifesto expressing unadulterated neo-Nazi ideology that endorsed violent “accelerationst” tactics.

“THAT WAS CRUEL” The migrants at El Buen Samaritano shelter "did it the right way": they applied through a U.S. government app to enter the country and begin immigration proceedings. Under Trump, they’re stuck in Mexico @arelisrhdz.bsky.social reports from Ciudad Juárez wapo.st/3PKHhYr

Great idea from my dear friend, Leanne Purdum, PhD: have a colleague read your student evaluations and give you a digest of what’s important instead of spiraling into a dark pit after reading them two days before the new semester starts.

I have taken the resources that were in the budget and which you were probably saving for higher education Forgive me they were needed to feed the AI bubble and to dismantle the humanities

Reading that one disgruntled student’s teaching evaluation.“Terrible” because students discussed for up to 30 minutes a class, 4 guest speakers offered their expertise, and because, apparently, “when she speaks it is clear she is not as educated as she should be.” NOT AS EDUCATED!!! Amazing.

increasingly frustrated by references to any criticism of Israel as "anti-Semitic" which distracts from confronting ACTUAL instances of anti-Semitism. shouldn't be this hard to articulate being anti-Zionist, anti-genocide, pro-Palestinian liberation & outraged at 1000s of years of Jewish persecution

The Biden administration will expand Donald Trump’s wall on the Mexican border and begin deporting thousands of Venezuelans in an effort to cut down on the surge of migrants, it said on Thursday. Here's where Biden is proposing new barriers. www.nytimes.com/2023/10/05/u...
