We were grateful that THE Mildred Boveda provided a commentary on the special issue, unpacking tensions across fields that can make transdisciplinary work difficult and offering a roadmap for collaborative, anti-ableist research partnerships.

Spencer Foundation joins Kapor Foundation, the William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to launch a rapid response bridge funding program (up to $25,000) for education scholars impacted by the abrupt grant cancellations by the National Science Foundation (NSF)! #AcademicSky

I keep hearing about all these cuts but I haven't heard anything about our taxes being slashed since we no longer pay for this stuff. I wonder where all that extra money will go then? Huh.

#SaveNSF website just went up today!! It has a take action toolkit with press outreach templates, social media toolkit, elected official outreach, talking points. Likely more to come too. www.savensf.com

Grateful for feature in the most recent weekly issue of El Semanario, a bilingual periodical based in Denver. They also helped promote the rally. To access the digital article, type in your e-mail and you'll find it on page 5. Also see attached images. online.flippingbook.com/view/1309948...

“Harvard is leading the resistance” Meanwhile the Harvard Black Alumni Society is asking Black alums to donate money to pay for what costs Harvard pocket change because Harvard ain’t resisting shit www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Thanks to all who attended the rally! We’ve had counts that have range from 125-200+ attendees. Check out this brief story on the event. #AERA2025 #AERA25 www.chalkbeat.org/colorado/202...

When education is under attack, what do we do??? STAND UP FIGHT BACK!

If we care about evidence being used in policy and practice, we should think about what questions policymakers and practitioners have. Some thoughts on how to get started in Democratizing the Development of Evidence journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Poor reporter interviewing me about financial aid next year got an earful when they asked if I think anything can be done to stop a disaster from happening. Just me ranting "this isn't the asteroid from Armageddon, this is a self-inflicted wound and we could reverse these illegal firings any day."

"I will no longer be able to continue teaching." Hyeongseon Jeon, an assistant professor at the University of Houston, said he had his foreign visa unexpectedly terminated and now must return to Korea immediately. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

MIT has also been atrocious to Palestine solidarity workers There are no heroes here. Just institutions trying to preserve themselves. And I’m glad self preservation kicked in because the alternative is worse but they’re not heroic.

I’m glad they are reminding the federal government that they have no business running Harvard but I’m a Harvard alum who knows they are outraged in part because the belief is Harvard runs the country, not the other way around lol

One day, I really want to sit in the warm sun in a grassy field and talk about how we survived these years with our dignity, autonomy, and humanity intact.

Every single university president should be asked, in public, why they are not speaking out this way to support all the students currently detained without due process, and all those terrified that they will be next, on every campus in this country. Yes, including Columbia's acting president.

Can’t stop thinking about this woman at the City Commission Meeting about the Mayor trying to shut down O Cinema yesterday. We truly need more people to be this nakedly contemptuous of our public officials wasting our time and money.

Educators, neighbors, everyone. We at Teachers College are doing what we can to stand against Trump's attack on education, not just on our campus but beyond. Please read our statement and share.

BREAKING: SB1, the college education overhaul bill banning DEI, has passed the House. It now goes back to the Senate for concurrence, then to Gov. Mike DeWine. @news5cleveland.bsky.social @ohiocapitaljournal.com www.news5cleveland.com/news/politic...

So ICE has effectively disappeared a student for protesting Israel's genocide, separating him from his 8 month pregnant wife. Pure fascism

This is astounding. and I guarantee you that Jewish students, faculty, and staff are being harmed with this cancelation under a banner of "antisemitism."

I went through my Twitter bookmarks today and wanted to share these informative and thoughtful provoking pieces on positioning, positionality, and positionality statements written in recent years (in case you haven't seen them already 😊):

If you're tracking the administration's claims to "end DEI" a quick thread with the docs. TL;DR: Admin swings way too wide. Careful readers point out the overreach & the illegality and/or lack of enforceability of their words. Some sue & get temp injunction. Admin rolls back, a bit. 🧵

To be clear, all of this reads as part of what Adam Serwer calls the Great Resegregation. But for now, still working in the framework of the rule of law, they are claiming to change much more in ed than they have authority to change. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is how President Trump’s reckless cuts will impact Illinois students.

Very pleased to see the NEA offer this response to the Ed Dept's "Dear Colleagues" letter. Inclusive and accurate teaching content remains as legal as it is necessary. #teachtruth
