Harvard Will Not Comply With a List of Trump Administration Demands
Federal officials said Harvard must enact “merit-based reform” in hiring and admissions and report international students who broke rules, among other steps. Harvard called the demands unlawful.

Columbia University faces backlash for caving to Trump admin demands after the school lost $400 million over alleged inaction to curb antisemitism. Critics decry the move. Is this the end of Columbia ...

This is why they hate us. Because we make things. Because we resist their structures of power, and do so with intelligence. Because they know, as Shelley says, "Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world." This one's mine, from Winter, Glossolalia (BSPG, 2022). #smallpoemsunday.
THRUST // The purple-stippled, / brindled cultivars defeat / the heat, wrest moisture / from topsoil desiccated / by the sun's dialectic / with the earth, ripe plums / further ripened, the fogged light / chalked across their skin / gesturing to the red flesh: / the plant supplants a word, world.

“[W]hat we are witnessing is not just an attack on academia or a set of fiscal reforms or a painful political rebalancing. It is an attack on the conditions that allow free thought to exist. We may not yet know its full cost, but we will feel its consequences for decades.” @meghanor.bsky.social

I disagree with parts of this article, but one thing it gets right is the absolute cowardice of university administrators in the midst of an all out onslaught unfolding against higher education. Saying nothing will not save anyone. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/o...

I used to do the same. I’m in a different place now, so don’t need to keep as many subs in circulation, but it was an effective way to get things accepted early on.

The arrest of Mr. Khalil represents a clear instance of retaliation against constitutionally protected free speech. This is an attempt to diminish support for Palestinian people and those suffering in Gaza (not to be confused with support for Hamas). www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/n...

I feel the exact same way, Meghan. It rings of McCarthyism, and I fear Columbia is just the test case.

It definitely happens at some places! But I think it’s pretty rare. Like, that New Yorker sub I’ve had out since 2023? No one’s ever gonna read that.

This is very true, although I was also like that at 18 or 20, and now I read a great deal and maybe enjoy that more than writing (though I am still writing and publishing). Maybe I’m an anomaly, but the realization that you must engage the work of others may simply come with age.

My poem, “The Field Which Had Been a Meadow Once,” is in THE LAST MILKWEED, out now from @tupelopress.bsky.social. The poem takes its title from a poem in @joriegraham.bsky.social’s book TO 2040 (which I highly recommend) and leans into dialogue with Robert Duncan. #poem #newpoem #poetry

I’ve been thinking something similar: that our capitalist system has pushed the arts and humanities into a political corner, forcing practitioners to define their relevance through the political thrust of their work — and then attacking their politics. They’re trying to force us out of existence.
