“The contradiction enters the classroom every day. Institutions celebrate thought in mission statements, public speeches, and recruitment materials while placing many of the people responsible for sustaining that work inside unstable conditions.”

Much of what you need to know about the politics of that Yale report can be encompassed in the fact that Heterodox Academy has walked right up to the line of claiming outright credit for its contents. (You should also read this thread).
A screenshot of a portion of a webpage. against a white background with a black, purple, and green logo for "heterodox academy" in the top left corner, there is a banner of larger black text that reads "news and announcements." Underneath that banner is a photo of a college green and library. In the foreground is the green grass, and in the background is a network of fancy brownish gray stone buildings resembling a big cathedral. There are benches on the right side of the the grass, backed by a wall that seems to divide up the green from another area. Superimposed upon the blue sky above the grass and buildings are words in white, which read "heterodox academy. Yale's 'Trust' Report affirms HxA's Open Inquiry U Agenda."

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

And you, O generation, behold the word of The Point God! -The epigraph of this now-complete thread on raced/gendered labor + anti-union BS that fronts as queer feminism, and which is relevant to the WNBPA and #WNBA updates. Jeremiah 2:31. p.s. pod linked @ the end but obvs the relevance is broader

Great thread with resources! I’m going to a deportation defense training today and am also going to call Hilton, Home Depot, and Enterprise to demand that they cut ties with ICE. What are others doing?

The anger people have at media institutions and college administrators can’t be detached from this, it’s not just that people can perceive cowardice it’s that they see others with more on the line doing more to stand up for their values than the people who have been trusted to safeguard things

“The longer Americans indulge this preference for the language of the law over morality, the weaker their moral voice becomes. They lose the ability to say, forthrightly, that what the Trump administration has done is cold-blooded murder for which they and their partisans should be ashamed.”

The Moral Stupefaction of the American Public
Trump’s actions are illegal, yes. Worse than that, they are wrong—precisely what the legality debate is meant to obscure.

We watch. Watch others watch. The body of a boy lies on the pavement exactly like the body of a boy. It is a peaceful country. And it clips our citizens’ bodies effortlessly, the way the President’s wife trims her toenails. (Ilya Kamensky, from “In a Time of Peace”) poets.org/poem/time-pe...

this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam

This is one of my favorite interviews we've ever done. Vulnerabilities of queer/feminist mentoring, the cognitive dissonance of institutional "risk management," women's sports: it has every topic you could ever want!

Read this passage, please, about trying to provide therapy for trauma in Gaza, even though it should make you feel like you are stabbing needles into your eyes. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Akhras, a child and adolescent psychiatrist, lost his home to an Israeli strike, in early 2024. He and his family have been displaced multiple times, living in tents where the canvas sweats from too many bodies pressed into too little space. He no longer sits in a white-walled office or wears a badge. But he continues to work, seeing some fifty patients a day, most of them children. One of his regular patients is a young girl, no older than fourteen, who survived a strike that killed her entire family. She woke up in an I.C.U., alone, unable to understand where everyone had gone. Now she sits in front of Akhras in silence, until she asks, again and again, if he can bring them back. He has no answer, only a pencil stub and a coloring book, which he hopes she can use to express and process her emotions.

I'm not the boss of the internet, but I recommend that you make 1 more donation to a Gaza family or LA bail fund & log off for the evening (unless you're a reporter whose literal job requires you to be on here). Either settle your nervous system or go to a physical location & do a bold activity

I also find the use of "Radical" as this kinda general praise term *really* contemptible. But I think it annoys me out of whack to how bad it actually is. But ftr it's because to me sounds like people arguing about who is really Deep just with a leftist inflection; and I hate Deepitude argument too.

I find humanities debates re how to be Radical very quaint. Imo the reason us sitting around and arguing about metaphysics isn't actually leading to substantial increases in power or wellbeing for the working class has nothing to do with the particular way we sit around and argue about metaphysics.
