I for one am thankful that with all that's going on in higher ed, our leadership is laser focused on what's important, the sanctity of the faculty listserv.

A lot of us are wondering what we can do to support our colleagues at NSF and NIH. Here’s something you can do: when they ask you to serve on a panel, say yes. Even if you’re too busy (you are). Even if it feels under-compensated (it is), just say yes. Make one thing easier for them.

I remember the first time I saw a grant of mine had moved from “recommended” to “awarded.” I took a screen cap, as if it would prevent anyone from someone taking it back. I still have that picture on my phone. Today, I did the same thing, because today I might have just slayed a jabberwocky.

🧪The entire staff of the Department of Education’s NCES-a vital independent statistical agency - has just been RIFed. The continued erasure of data and evidence allows for the Trump administration to hide the impact of their corruption. #EduSky #Scisky @aeraedresearch.bsky.social @cossa.bsky.social

I love @stephenking.bsky.social profoundly. So a little disappointed to hear him disparaging lunatics with this comparison…

The future of the Department of Education—and of the students with disabilities who depend on it—will likely hinge on the world views of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, two billionaires who abhor what they perceive as weakness and waste.

In times like these it’s important to remember we each brandish a vorpal sword. And each of us can slay a Jabberwock. Believe impossible things. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!"

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid:

“Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.

Over half of those deported were US citizens.”
