Wow, we are now being officially advised against travel to the USA by the Canadian Association of University Teachers. I never thought I'd see the day. ☹️ #AcademicChatter

This is an excellent and really valuable overview of everything wrecked at HHS.

This is the simplest and most obvious explanation.
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named David Roberts (@volts
.wtf). The post reads: "The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It’s not a public act, it’s not a schtick, there’s not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people."

Well look at this. Here's the head of a major university (Princeton!) taking a firm stand in favor of academic freedom and, you know, rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Cost of the Government’s Attack on Columbia
American universities have given the country prosperity and security. The Trump administration’s attack on academic freedom endangers all of that.

Got a printer? You can start fighting fascism. Here's a thread of things you can print and distribute. 👇 I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.

CALL TO ACTIVISM @calltoactivism.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

Say NO to USPS Privatization postcards (set of 10)
These postcards were created in response to the Republican Neo-Nazi President's expressed interest in (illegally) privatizing the US Postal Service.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

So I did this today: banged out a couple hundred words of a pitch while managing lab, sent it to the opinion page editor at the newspaper my parents still somehow get in print, and got back a "yes" in, I absolutely kid you not, under 15 minutes

Odds are good that someone in your life has received vital care at a university-affiliated hospital near you. Trump and Musk want to destroy them. Call your reps and demand they push back -- especially if they're Republicans. www.house.gov/representati...

Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago. It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌 I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)
The start of a knitted purple sweater, still on knitting needles. The neck and shoulders are finished but it is missing the sleeves and body. The sweater and knitting needles are laying on a desk.

Authors! Submitting your story to an open call? As someone reading through 400+ submissions for an anthology, some tips: Opening paragraph/sentence: I can tell within the first few sentences if a story is a 'no.' 'Maybes' turn to 'no's' by the end of the first paragraph. Brutal, but it's true.
