This is not a serious piece of work—it picks a 35 year old diagnosis, which didn’t even work then, off the shelf. We so need someone to (a) read General Education in a Free Society and then (b) figure out how to write its sequel for the year 2030. higheredstatementofprinciples.com/state-of-sch...

This is bad. Bad for researchers. Bad for science. Bad for universities. Bad for professional associations. For example: 1. Every award would be vetted by political appointees, who could overrule peer reviewers and deny the award if it doesn't advance the president's priorities. 1/🧵

Free DC @freedcproject.bsky.social · 20/11/2025
The House has passed H.R. 5214, a bill to return DC to cash bail. Cash bail creates two tiers of justice, one for people with money and one without. DC abolished it more than 30 years ago and crime has dropped precipitously since. H.R. 5214 is wrong and we will continue to fight its passage.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.
