Despite legal resident status and having been charged with no crime, our Georgetown colleague Badar Khan Suri has been designated a 'high risk' prisoner and for that reason gets only two hours of outdoor time PER WEEK. His traumatized son "cries all the time" and has ceased speaking.

This has been one of the most exciting research collaborations I've been part of! Our forthcoming article in Signs examines an emerging form of "feminism" that pursues gender equity through financial investment.

Macedo and Lee's book "In COVID's Wake" has gotten the red-carpet treatment, mostly because it tells people what they want to hear: the pandemic wasn't so bad, we didn't need to respond in the way we did and the blame lies with the "experts." But in fact, this is agit-prop, not scholarship.

cannot stress how much the DOGE experience has proven this wildly true. coding and quant skills in a vacuum can be useful, but if you combine that with domain expertise you can really get stuff done. without domain expertise you'll probably just fuck it up.

If the government can do this to universities, we don't live in a free society. Five alarm fire.

SCOTUS holds that the EPA *cannot* order cities to maintain acceptable water quality standards by limiting the discharge—usually sewage—that they dump into nearby bodies of water (like oceans and bays). The four women justices, dissenting, say that's ridiculous. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Jared Polis, my former student, challenges Democrats to support RFK Jr. on some policies (like drug prices), while opposing RFK Jr on vaccinations. Jared, here’s the problem: Under Trump, challenges to corporations are likely to die. Under RFK’s vaccination policies, people are going to die

Today is transgender day of remembrance. GLAAD defines this as "an annual observance on 11/20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence." Our transgender colleagues, friends, students, family members need us to stand up for them.
