Making tenure count, for MSNOW I wrote about my employer, The University of Iowa, creating a center for intellectual freedom. It's a reactionary project built on decades of conservative propaganda about higher ed.

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.

Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here:

What do we do (as US citizens) if Trump does order the bombings of power plants—with Iranian citizens as human shields—and the military carries these out? What can we do?

This is horrific. He is utterly unfit for office. For the love of God, the 25th Amendment needs to be invoked now!

"Let us not ask what AI can do for Oberlin students, but what Oberlin students can do ourselves, while we still have the brain capacity to think on our own."

(Wondering if Luddite clubs might spring up at other schools where students are similarly frustrated with administrators' #AI obsession...)

"Maybe you thought I already owned Trump’s soul. How else could someone so incompetent fail upwards to a second presidential term? But social media, misogyny, and the everloving shitshow known as the also gobsmackingly incompetent 'Democratic Party—that’s on you, humans."

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.

Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

Folks on the left are asking people to not watch the SOTU speech. I'm not sure if this accomplishes anything. But the thought of spending 1.5 hours watching Trump is horrid. If something important happens, we will all know.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

ICE and CBP are trying to burn down all trust between Americans and their communities at all levels — moves like this undermine trust in not just the federal government but also their neighbors, local, and state officials. www.koin.com/news/oregon/oregon-lawmaker-multnomah-county-warn-ice-agents-are-posing-as-utility-workers/

I don't think Americans has even a remote clue about how angry Europeans are with them. And people here are very clear about this being an American problem, not just a Trump problem.
