Out now: my interview with @hellogera.bsky.social on her documentary “JARA: Radioactive Patriarchy”

Harvard will not comply. “No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” — Harvard President Alan M. Garber www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Scripps is currently searching for a VAP in American Studies for AY 2025-26. Please share widely. I’m not on the search committee but I’m happy to answer any questions about the position: www.scrippscollege.edu/hr/faculty/v...

They're actively coming after the scholars. Friends who are not US citizens, it is dangerous traveling out of the country. They will come up with any flimsy excuse not to let you back in and to deport you. Or they will kidnap you.

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

Over a thousand protesters gathered in Somerville, Massachusetts, on Wednesday to demand the freedom of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts PhD student and Fulbright scholar abducted by ICE agents. Ozturk is believed to have been targeted for co-authoring an opinion piece for her student newspaper about Gaza.

Tenure didn’t protect anyone at Columbia. Let this be a lesson in the need for labor solidarity across all ranks in higher ed.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement. Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

"The root of alienation is insanity," Hiʻilei Hobart writes. Part family history, part history of land rights and land tenure in Hawai‘i, @hiokinai.bsky.social's essay, "In Pieces," applies pressure to our ideas of land value + private property. A must read:

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts. The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

If they’re doing this to white, European green card holders, just imagine what they’re doing to undocumented, indigenous Central American workers www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.
