So 90% of my followers appear to be anti-MAGA, anti-GOP, blue no matter who, “antifa” bots lmao How are yall blocking bots

My sense is that the difference between this year and the last 2 years is way worse than this for sociology. Like COVID-year job openings or worse.

New video on Eric Schmitt's White nationalist speech at NatCon. With what happened last week, it was largely overlooked, but it can't go unnoticed. youtu.be/HY4quehYBmc?...

I wonder if the entertainment industry knows it’s next after media and education

Didn't make the article but key point is, what if I told you that there was legislation in the 1800s that gave millions of dollars to HBCUs? Then what if I said it was being done to ensure that other insts never had to integrate? Now you can see what this is www.insidehighered.com/news/institu...

Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well? Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?

cool to see jd vance Practicing Politics The Right Way

TIL about Hims/Hers

no notes

Let's say it again: 1) Harvard said "No," and Trump has backed off. 2) Chicago (and Illinois) said "No," and Trump has backed off. It's day by day. But those who said "OK, sure," have gained nothing at all. Except shame.

truly don’t see how we can come together as a country until we all agree on the past tense of “screenshot”

If you see people having their windows smashed in, thrown on the pavement, and ripped away from their children and your thought is to ponder legality, I think you should reconsider what’s important in this moment.

Absolutely cutting up on Twitter

But as someone placed on his Professor Watch List—who received torrents of vitriol from his followers—I find it jarring to read tributes claiming he was “doing politics the right way.” Only a white man untouched by his organization’s targeting could believe such a thing.

The real truth in all of this stuff is that conservatives believe education is indoctrination because that’s what conservative institutions do. So they assume that if you’re not doing conservative indoctrination you must be doing liberal indoctrination. Yet there’s a secret third thing…

This is a major theme in revolutionary texts, but it’s also literally right in front of our faces standards of decorum are only applied to the people who are harmed by the status quo and want to change it

That msnbc guy got fired for saying these words

I'd be happy to send it your way! We're going to be sharing it/presenting on it at the Universities Studying Slavery Second Foundings conference at Rice next month: taskforce.rice.edu/second-found...

Every time I come across some fascinating research on college history the author is affiliated with a conservative think tank lmao

When Turkey purged their universities, "The 'to be expelled' lists were prepared by the university administrations. The few universities where massive dismissals did not take place were the ones who did not submit any 'to be expelled” lists." merip.org/2018/12/turk...

When you find out about Libro.fm, an alternative to Amazon-owned Audible that’s 100% employee owned, a Certified B Corporation, and shares profits with 4,000+ independent bookshops 😍

This diva!

Numerous journalists and writers purged today for posting factually about a slain regime ally, a bomb threat at the DNC HQ, 6 HBCUs closed due to bomb threats, shots fired at the Naval Academy, and that's just today.

aesthetics are more important to liberals than material reality because they are not materially harmed by our reality but offended by its aesthetics

Print is a rent strike. Nobody’ll ever know which chapter I read first.

“Don’t give fascists a reason to be angry at you” is the highest level of apology and collaboration

Influencer uses Twitter to dictate policy to useful idiot overlord

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

I encourage everyone to look out for their safety and practice good internet hygiene, of course. But some of the scolding posts I've read suggest we can change the awful aftermath of a fateful event by just holding our tongues and being quiet little mice, and that isn't my experience.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Thoughts and prayers for Charlie Kirk In total coincidence, we released a TurningPointUSA episode today so I’m gonna use his tragedy to plug that www.buzzsprout.com/2396665/epis...

Hi all, I rarely do this, but I'm posting that I'm back on the academic job market. As a Californian, my partner and I are trying to stay on the West Coast. Any leads for jobs in History, American Studies, Cultural Studies, etc. in the Western U.S. are greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Nathan

Y'all were so concerned about a few tents impeding the teaching mission of the university. What do you think it might do to the teaching mission if one little video from your classroom results in a campaign from [clears throat]: the President, the feds, right wing trustees ... I'm not finished (2/3)

"Let's all just agree to let each other determine and do what's best for ourselves/own kids" is precisely how public goods die.

I've been tracking parenting ads for a couple of months now. A common trope is that "traditional" (ie, public) school doesn't work for some kids, but that some private solution will. And yes, public school isn't working for some kids. But rather than jump to private solutions, we ought to ask why.

She reminds the student that she can always take it up with the department or the school. Or, as Texas State Rep Brian Harrison put it: "🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: TEXAS A&M STUDENT KICKED OUT OF CLASS AFTER OBJECTING TO TRANSGENDER INDOCTRINATION" (2/3)

If I just… deleted all these emails 🙃 and committed to one project at a time I’d have so much less administrative work to do

Happy pub day @andyhines.bsky.social and co!! Yall look at this incredible TOC

Really chilling to watch Libs of Tiktok become the governing strategy of the Republican Party

Jeet Heer is so good on everything, but especially on the elite liberal obsession with conservatism and the rise of You Know Who

I just blocked one of the $8k a month demfluencers. The joie de vivre feeling continues to grow within me

You should absolutely lie if that’s what it takes to get a Covid 19 vaccine around these arbitrary restrictions And now imagine all the bad quant health data that’s going to come out of these 4 (probably +) years because of the necessity of lying to protect urself and others from preventable C19

It was 68 degrees when I left my house this morning. False fall is giving me so much hope. I’ll even go so far as to say joie de vivre

Community colleges have been dealing with this problem for a bit. The typical reaction is that administrative burdens will increase for real students to prove they are, indeed, real. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

People *really* don’t like hearing that the school funding obstacles came from racist white planters in 1875 who hated the thought of spending money on the education of Black children and prefer to see it as small government. Which it is, but small government intended to let the wealthy rule us.

After a hike and 6 paragraphs we could not get the students to stop debating! Ultimately, the transhumanists beat out the monarchists. All shook hands and settled in for a lunch of red meat and anti-aging supplements. But the debate resumed during the afternoon cold plunge
