Folks, please help my former UI grad student raise money for legal fees. It seems snowflake GOP congress people don't like it when well-educated Latinas stand up for themselves and their right to an education. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ab...

Our fearless, badass leader!

Taking a sledge hammer to Texas higher ed...it's been unrelenting this week.

One of the most miserable things about living in this era is having to watch the stupidest & most arrogant people in the world have to relearn The Why of literally everything good that we collectively do the hard way. The answer is always ‘Because a bunch of people died, fuckwit.’

In case folks are curious...Benito collaborates with historians. 😇

We'll make music forever and ever and ever. Por siempre mi gente hermosa!

You’ve seen the halftime show … now read my friend Petra’s new book from @dukepress.bsky.social about how Bad Bunny became the global voice of Puerto Rican resistance! 👏🏽👏🏽 www.dukeupress.edu/p-fkn-r

@louiseseamster.bsky.social connecting the dots on tRumps bullshit tensions between the fed cutting interest rates and a possible recession. Turns out, because it's happened before, it'll make him and his oligarchs even richer.

The discourse is 🫩 . But let's say we are "under-babied," an absolutely ridiculous phrase. But let's just say everyone starts making more babies. Does that mean they'll provide...

Had a fantastic conversation with @juliekohler.bsky.social host of White Picket Fence about the history of pronatalism, white demographic decline, nativism, and eugenics. Check it out here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Manufacturing a crisis so they can label "protests as terrorism" is as Professor @mark-bray.bsky.social explains it "directly out of an authoritarian playbook." In solidarity with my historian colleague and comrade, Mark Bray.

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Thank you @marisakabas.bsky.social for sending the email I could not muster because of rage. Klein wrote the most tone deaf and potentially dangerous white washing OpEd exalting CK's career as more than being a just a right-wing troll.

If you're in or near Durham next week, join me and the marvelous western women's historian Sarah Deutsch for a conversation about my book! Details are in the link below! @uncpress.bsky.social

Frmr UI prof @drlmmurillo.bsky.social writes Iowa anti-DEI crusade isn’t preventing division, but rather preventing thinking that might expose uncomfortable truths. “They don’t have any real solutions, which is why they don’t want you asking questions in the first place.”

Hi friends! I wrote a long-ish piece about DEI, history, and higher education in Iowa. Read & share. Thank you! www.linammurillo.com/_files/ugd/0...

Just as forced birth is becoming the norm in many states across the country. With the developed worlds highest maternal mortality rates, what could go wrong? 🫠

@booker.senate.gov dismantles a Confederate monument.

You cannot negotiate with terrorists. If the Ivies give in to any regime demands, the goal posts will move. If the massive ivy endowments aren’t deployed to preserve institutional integrity and academic freedom, what on earth are they for?

Hey Gavin Newsom, who used to be the mayor of San Francisco, go fuck yourself. I hope you dumb podcasts tanks.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Iowa is gunning to be the first state to take civil rights away from trans and nonbinary people. This will affect folxs' protections for housing, work, education, and healthcare. This is a devastating rollback of hard won gains. www.iowapublicradio.org/state-govern...
