AMERICAN TAYLOR TOWNSEND UPSETS NO. 5 MIRRA ANDREEVA AT THE US OPEN 🇺🇸

She did. And she's right.

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

In June, Latricia Green pleaded for a protection order from her ex-husband. It was denied. She asked again in July. It wasn’t served. She was shot and killed by her ex-husband this morning inside a Detroit hospital

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

Homelessness is a policy failure, not a personal one.

When it comes to fascism, you push the boundaries a bit, wait for the public to react, and if they settle down, you push the boundaries some more. Bit by bit, this is how you change what's "normal". You'll sleep walk right into it if you were never taught the signs.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court affirmed that Louisiana's state legislative districts dilute the power of Black voters and must be redrawn.

Season 3 of The Gilded Age has been top tier!

The Audra McDonald and Philicia Rashad showdown on the season finale of the Gilded Age was excellent.

This administration is going to kill the majority of us, further dismantle democracy, and destroy the economy to the point where private corporations will come in and buy up everything and make any type of ownership impossible.

RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warner

When you carelessly cut government workers as some type of misguided political statement you soon come to realize that those government workers do important and literally life saving work

Our federal government is currently spending more money deporting childcare workers than fixing our broken, patchy childcare system. 19thnews.org/2025/07/chil...

Outdoor Afro tells me they received 300 applications overnight following this post! People are learning how to swim

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

The Trump administration is shutting down the National LGBTQ+ youth suicide lifeline on July 17th.

@espn.com analyst (SAS and Perkins) are pissing me off this morning with their Pacers takes. “Everybody thought” “Everybody said” No you “experts” have been consistently wrong about the Pacers and continuously hating on them and not giving them credit. Plus you are “everybody”. Real fans know.

Just reminding y'all of the Congressionally mandated report (condition on education) that ED did not put up by the deadline of June 1st AND when a reporter reached out asking why they missed the date, they threw up old tables/figures and links to other websites

After writing about feeling personally a little adrift working in higher ed, I interviewed a group of people who had found pathways to resist and take action. Here's what I learned from them, w/ thanks to @karencosta.bsky.social, @daniellaurison.bsky.social & others www.chronicle.com/article/5-st...

The head of FEMA reportedly said during a briefing that he wasn't aware the U.S. had a hurricane season, leaving staffers "baffled" and "confused"

“My whole body of work, starting with 'Girlfriends,' .. I have been wanting to carve out the vulnerability of Blackness ... Now, having a front row seat to raising boys, I wanted to give them their full humanity." Mara Brock Akil on creating Netflix's #Forever: rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Home this holiday weekend and Im grateful for that. The next three weekends look booked and busy. Zora is also happy we are home this weekend.

Academics and Academia Can No Longer Afford the Politics of Silence radicalscholarship.com/2025/05/02/a...

The joy this brought me this morning. 🖤

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

This is the literal destruction of knowledge. Mississippi libraries are being ordered to remove academic research on race and gender from library databases. mississippitoday.org/2025/04/08/m...

Where are the boards? “Governance, however, is not a spectator sport. Boards…cannot afford to be passive observers, expecting others to shoulder the burden of defending the institution’s core values while they remain detached.” www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

“Our attackers will not stop with DEIA: They want to dismantle public ed because they hate race-conscious & inclusive policies & because they hate the larger endeavor of public ed…university leaders must realize they are coming for your funding, no matter what” www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Same

Some higher ed organizations who are loudly circling the wagons against federal funding cuts were oddly silent or circumspect about the earlier attacks on CRT and DEI. I wish there was a better understanding that these attacks are coming because we failed to repel those.
