The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism. ― Hannah Arendt #bookSky

The Grapes of Wrath. Slaughterhouse-Five. Brave New World. Huckleberry Finn. These books are about freedom and agency but also human dignity. Tractors, bombs, pills, and political systems convince us the dispossession of others is okay and even inevitable. These authors remind us it's a choice 💙📚

Wake up, America.

Look around. The case for more, not less, liberal arts education is stronger than ever. This is the intentional destruction of public higher education by a far right authoritarian party at war with knowledge, science, research, evidence, & the citizenry. Incredibly sad & dangerous.
