Only Black people are expected to forget their history. All others are encouraged to preserve it.

“…I believe that somebody real has blinded America in at least one eye. And, in the same way so many Americans feel that "we have ‘lost’ our jobs," we suspect that we have lost our country. We know that we do not speak the language. and I ask you: well, what are we going to do about it?” —J. Jordan

“…more and more of the people of this democracy will become the powerless. As long as we have an economic system protected by the state rather than state protection against economic vagaries and depredations, then your and my welfare become expendable considerations.”—June Jordan

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Huge blow to the IR community - AIR was informed that their contract to provide free IPEDS training has been cancelled. An update on AIR's IPEDS Training Program www.linkedin.com/pulse/update...

The figures from this are very dope because they split institutions by whether they reported previously considering race in admissions and you see a clear difference. The share of students who are Black in 2024, at institutions that previously used race, is the lowest it's been in a decade.

Been helping the folks at CBS news think through admissions data in a post-sffa world. They collected the largest dataset so far of uni's fall 2024 enrollment by race (and standardized it). Caveat caveat caveat, the clearest trend is: www.cbsnews.com/news/college...

This is how white supremacist narratives work. This claim has been litigated repeatedly and proven to be NOT TRUE. But they “feel it.” You can’t disprove it. The Lost Cause. Reverse Discrimination. Welfare Queens. The whole thing survives on myths. www.yahoo.com/news/vice-pr...

I cannot stress enough how happy this makes my spirit. The joy that comes from seeing Black people upend expectations and chart new paths is hard to articulate. #Sinners

Hey @wnba.com what we doing bout this?! No Space for Hate, right?! #WNBA

58 points to start 2025 season…

Issues I’ve seen from #SkyTown today: The Sky are not using the rebounding strength we have in the quick O that we are playing Kamilla struggled with Boston (who is demolishing us) Defense is not staying disciplined Refs are making some interesting choices Gotta adjust better as game moves…

GAMMEEEEEDAYYYYY

#WNBA Season starts today!!! #VoltUp #SkyTown

Of course. Special shoutout to my colleagues who thought "diversity had gone too far," especially the ones who pretended that diversity statements were oppression.

This kicker is the whole ball game. This is why we cannot rely solely on talking about the ROI of universities to explain its value. Why we have to actually talk about the ways higher ed can be an active force for cultural uplift. That integration is one of the raisons d'être of US higher ed.

Y’all look how happy I look! Hope you have some childlike play today

NEW from @joshgerstein.bsky.social: You’ve heard of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now meet the second man erroneously deported to El Salvador in violation of a legal settlement: Daniel Lozano-Camargo. Until now, he’d only been identified by a pseudonym in court. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

I’m tired.

#Sinners is in my Top 3 Movies of All Time and has shaken my resolve on which of my Big 3 is actually the Kendrick of them all, in the order I saw them: There Will Be Blood Everything Everywhere All At Once Sinners *Sammie singing* “Somebodyyyy help meeeeee”

Black women told y’all

If you’re gonna hire someone w/ a director title and the j.d. has director level responsibilities and yet they aren’t in your leadership meetings— it’s wise to give them director level engagement in their work or at work or they’re gonna make you look stupid in front of everyone in staff meeting…

Higher education coming through Avengers Endgame portals:

Worth noting that a number of universities have now sued over withheld and canceled grants, but no university has yet sued over the arrest, detention, and threatened deportation of its foreign students. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/o...

This is the American born citizen who was held in Florida by ICE despite possessing a valid birth certificate. Glad he is out of custody.

Great news for racist conspiracy theorists. Bad news for pretty much every other person on earth.

Is it okay to hold space and celebrate Harvard for being ten toes in against fascism but two ass cheeks down in defending their first Black woman president?

White America is squarely responsible for the downfall of the United States of America.

don’t want to hear about future of AI when IDK if there is a future for my immigrant friends & fam, my Black momma & sis, my Hispanic & Latina cousins, my Asian & Pacific Islander colleagues & mentors, the Indigenous community, & so many who don’t have protections of a g’damn artificial intelligence

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

I been saying

Wow, just WOW!! Looks like orange Slim Shady is at it again…👇 What. The. Actual. Fuck. ✨

Today’s Reading📖: @colearthurriley.bsky.social ‘s “Black Liturgies”: Breathe… Inhale: I am free to not know Exhale: I can rest in mystery Inhale: I may not know what I believe Exhale: but I know it will sound like dignity Inhale: my doubts are sacred Exhale: God, stay close as I wander 🤓

For folks who don’t know, ethnic studies programs like African American/Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicano Studies and the like come directly from civil right era campus activism. Attempts to disempower such programs should be framed as attacks on civil rights same as much else rn.

DOWNLOAD YOUR MASTER PROMISSORY NOTES TODAY! RIGHT NOW. If you owe federal loans, only CONGRESS can change those rates. Not these assholes. Do not volunteer ANY INFO to these people. If they lose your information in this chaos, do not tell them anything or pay them a DIME.

I have been talking to my historically underrepresented students about fit. Especially, my Black students. Yes, we have the rankings from US News and World report but there are colleges in the top 30 of those rankings where my students lose their light, fail to thrive, and do not have support

In addition to being morally wrong this is also just plain old wrong as shown by research by @kevinshih.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

If Dr. Bruce Banner was from ATL… *Purple Ribbon All Stars “Kryptonite” beat plays* “…you wanna know my secret?…I-I-I-I be on it all night, man, I be on it all day Straight up pimp, If you want me, you can find me in a RAGE I’m on it, aye, im on it” 🤣 been laughing at myself for 10mins #MCU

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Save to your phones now!

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America: 1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI 2) kill universities 3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub 4) empty the cities 5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

Not enough of you read June Jordan And it shows
