“veto power over tenure cases is increasingly being exercised by higher-level faculty committees or by administrators, rather than by the departmental colleagues of the junior professors who go up for review” Wooooo boy

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

The Immigrant Law Center provides free legal services to low income immigrants in Minnesota. No small organization with little funding can fight an illegal federal military occupation. Collective support is of vital importance for those people who access these critical services www.ilcm.org

We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern. As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more. Throwing your students under the bus to please Trump. Shameful.

Okay, so this exists now! 😬 Inside, you'll find: the IWW, Tom Mooney, the First Red Scare, labor juries, the ILD, the Gastonia Strike, Angelo Herndon, Euel Lee, Scottsboro, riots at the Supreme Court, Charles Hamilton Houston, Pauli Murray, the Worker's Defense League, FDR using a racial slur . . .

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

A university called Northwestern should have a compass.

The President of the United States promising a policy of mass denaturalization of citizens "who undermine domestic tranquility"

One of the definitive days of this admin imo was the WSJ identifying racist posts from a DOGE staffer - the kind of stuff that would be read out loud to you as HR explains why you're not getting severance - and Vance saying no, we won't let the media cancel people anymore.
