Tomorrow we’re taking up Pause Evictions Save Lives, a policy that will temporarily extend pre-eviction notice from 30 to 60 days until August 31st. This will give residents more time to get resources and support so that families can stay together and we can keep people in their homes.

People are still trapped in their homes in my neighborhood here in Jason's ward, unable to go to work (at jobs which may not even exist anymore), sick with worry over how they’ll pay utilities and remain housed. It's not over. ICE is still here, and the least we can do is afford families more time.

According to PEW, teens in households making under $75K are more likely to use chatbots for help with all or most schoolwork. I read a comment on another platform that said this is amazing news because we are "finally going to close the achievement gap." That is not how I would interpret this data.

"The messiah is an unpaid position." 🔥

🚨What if some intrepid students and I decided to see if private foundations' public stances on justice were thin enough to fold under anti-DEI pressure? We tracked their website language using Wayback Machine. The retreat is real and it seems political vibes alone supercharged it. osf.io/29gda_v1

We're looking for a pro-active HE/research librarian, keen for responsibility, who likes being involved with a range of different tasks and is able to see the library service as an interconnected whole. If this sounds like you - why not apply? (must be able to work in London for some of the week).

Israel “virtually emptying out the country south of the Litani River and turning the southern suburbs of Beirut into a ghost town.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Reports are that at least 11 are dead after Marines opened fire on protesters allegedly attempting to storm the consulate in Karachi. It does feel like this admin is rapidly losing control of the situation they started.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

This is very important news, and I will be disappointed if within the next 5 years we don't have any picturebooks about wolves feeding blueberries to their pups! www.mprnews.org/story/2020/0...

I never want to see another post about this guy that doesn't mention this. www.bbc.com/news/article...

the HPV vaccine is fucking incredible, period end of that's it

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

pretty confident that if our own government bombed, say, Philadelphia, we'd just kind forget about it after a couple more Rocky movies

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable. Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice. The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

An Intercept analysis finds that every single Board of Peace member state has been rebuked for human rights violations.

CLAIM REJECTED. Sure I don't have a chart for 2022-2026 but I refuse to believe that fincel, wordcel and gymcel are things except possibly for the VERY niche subcultures.

💥“No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Trump. He's attacked 7 nations, 3 of which — Iran, Nigeria & Venezuela — had never been targeted by US strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in 4 years.”💥

Just a reminder that @contingent-mag.bsky.social would absolutely love to run a mailbag on the dumbass arguments about "low enrollment majors" and other things contained in this nested thread if there's a NTT historian out there who wants to pitch it.

Thinking of the Iranian college student I knew in Virginia in the '90s, and one night some bigot at the coffee shop told her "Go back to I-ran," and I remember the wounded rage in her eyes, "I can't, you son of a bitch, Khomeini's men murdered my father!"

⚠️ Update: Metrics show #Iran has been offline for 12 hours after the regime imposed a nationwide internet blackout amid US and Israeli military strikes. While most countries work to stay connected in times of international conflict, Iran has again silenced its own population.

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

I am going to need every single person who said that misinformation was a moral panic to feel enough shame and regret that they leave public intellectual life.

a school.

I’m reading “The Body Keeps the Score” & maybe this was obvious to everyone else but, a warning: it’s really triggering. good & important, but very hard to get through if trauma is living in you, too.

If only advising was remote work or UVA was in Massachusetts.

Eva Woods is a tireless community leader in Los Angeles who has, for years, spearheaded care for our neighbors in MacArthur Park. She was recently assaulted and needs help to pay for extensive medical bills. If you can support, friends have organized a GoFundMe: www.gofundme.com/f/support-a-...

Today has been a more pleasant day because I am spending less time gathering stats and processing invoices and more time actually ordering books. I like books, buying the product of scholarly efforts feels good.

What a shitty narrative. You think you are doing enough by couching this in terms like "caricature"? This piece reeks. It looks like its questioning the pressure on women while actually justifying that pressure and accepting the Trump administration's actions as incontestable.

I love the shade of this first sentence...

we dont have the money for universal health care but we have tons of money for concentration camps and a surveillance society

Working on ideas for a national poetry month display,... not particularly impressed by the visual impact of this year's poster.

Request: I'm still feeling really down. I can't seem to feel much about anything. What's the most compellingly written book on theology you've read lately? Okay to be a think-y, slow, chonky book/essay, but must make you want to read on. That's what I am looking for DRAW me out of myself, please.

Even if I say right now, "I fully reject love, forever; I am shutting it out," so long as as I am still living, I am incapable of doing that. Grace is always poking me; as a living material-and-spiritual being I cannot make any sealed-and-forever choice.

12/x: The point is not to make everyone feel secure and encourage folks to whistle past the graveyard. Rather the point is to let folks know that there are real and solid grounds on which to fight this bullshit.

ICE agent entered a residential building at Columbia University around 630 a.m. and detained a student. The university says agents misrepresented their reason for entry, claiming they were searching for a missing person.

or we *all* die

There is probably a poem of some kind in being one of 300k people currently watching the Cornell bird feeder cam in my living room along with my cat

*spends whole life learning to skip rope* “Well, they said it was a transferable skill, but their aren’t any jobs for rope-skipping within a two hour drive, so I guess by transferable they meant out of state.”

They found him. He died. Another murder by our immigration goon squads

Drone killings of press members are on the rise: surging from two in 2023 — the first year CPJ documented such killings — to 39 in 2025. Military drones were confirmed or thought to be behind 33 of those killings, with Israel responsible for 28. Read CPJ’s #2025KilledReport: cpj.org?p=553549

I really think states need to start signing compacts of some kind to ally themselves against this type of aggression

What a gorgeous and touching book on a hard topic.
