What is “antifascist and transgender writing” that could fit on a bullet?

How I wish I hadn’t spent my career studying this.

I shared the shite news from HHS w my kid today. Its ok. Virology seemed cool but he’ll be great as a psychedelic retreat vibe enhancer.

I am excited to share that vol 51 of the Annual Review of Sociology is now open access. It includes my article on the politics of healthcare and so many great reviews. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Thank you, Rabbis. But please, the food must come is urgent.

HAPPENING NOW: a group of New York rabbis are being arrested at a protest outside the Israeli consulate calling for bringing food into Gaza, an end to the war, and return of all hostages @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social

BBC News: Do you think you were a witness to war crimes? American veteran who worked at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution center: Without question I witnessed war crimes.

You don’t say? www.rutgers.edu/news/america...

I became a professor bc I didn’t want to work for a corporation. Yea.

Reminding myself tonight to focus on what we can do rather than anger at what others won't. @standhighered.bsky.social has created a toolkit that can help faculty + staff organize on every kind of campus in every part of the country. Join us, spread the word, and let's build our own strength.

LLMs are exceptional at finding patterns and replicating them. Cognitive work requires an ability to recognize patterns. Understand how to harness an LLM as a tool, rather than a crutch, and you might find it useful.

This warms my heart. Really.

I was 1 of em!

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

My team and I at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@[email protected], Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) have a new piece out: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer.... In it, we show that through May 2025, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests have dwarfed those in 2017. 🧵

Back away from the my m-dash, people.

The em dash supposedly being a “tell” for AI generated text does sort of give away the game on the enormous amount of work stolen from journalists and news organizations that these things were trained on

Why does this man always look constipated?

We @protectdemocracy.org have been saying for years “in the modern era, authoritarianism doesn’t come with tanks in the streets. It’s harder to see coming than that.” Well, we were wrong. Trump’s tanks are here. We are frogs in the water, and it’s already boiling.

I liked this article—seemed like it might be useful in the classroom. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/m...

Authoritarian hell

I 💕 this story. I love seeing how Usher thought through what he wanted to say, how he wanted to say it, what this speech meant to him & its broader significance. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

HAPPENING NOW: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is released as supporters chant “Power to the People!” (Video: @spydermonkeywatch.bsky.social)

ICE, and DHS are out of control. Mayor Baraka is a good, decent leader—must be hard for these fools to know what that looks like.

Hallelujah! Mashallah! Yay!

Please make this man senate minority leader ASAP.

A splendid shitocracy

Just don’t call it a genocide.

Genuinely not sure how to handle my upcoming flights (both out of Newark, so obv step 1 is try to move airports!) 😳

Comp sci majors need to read @victorerikray.bsky.social more than most.

i know i talk with my hands, but after my oura ring thought i was swimming when i was teaching my class yesterday.

Right wing loves these drugs so much—and psychedelic nonprofits and researchers sure do love their funding.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

Al Gore, you son of a bitch I'm in

From Pioneer to Punchline

Gonna be the only woman at a workshop this week. So, a workcock.

Good job! @peterstaley.bsky.social and comrades! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

This effort builds on previous campus-specific and issue-specific and cross-campus letters - signed, I estimate, by at least 20,000 people with a stake in higher education - put together in the last month or so - you can see all of them at wearehighered.org/letters.

PROFESSORS ARE INSISTING THEIR CAMPUSES STAND UP FOR DEMOCRACY AND HIGHER EDUCATION. Today, we are releasing letters - most organized in under a week - with over 5000 signatures calling on campus leadership to stand up to Trump & fight for our values & our students. bit.ly/CampusLettersTally

Reading Careless People—and yea, this tracks

Do you know the difference between “$2 trillion” and “$150 billion”? About $2 trillion.

Dumb and corrupt.

Yea! Go UMass-Amherst!

At what point are we living in the Jungle again?

In retrospect, I should have become an oligarch.

And reminder that many international students were not notified—check your SEVIS status daily, and everyone in higher ed should be advocating that their college be proactive in checking SEVIS as well!

Important work—if you learn about visa revocations on your campus, please let them know.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

There will be a dossier on every single one of us. I know that sounds wild and paranoid, but that’s already what data brokers do. But they generally don’t have access to information that’s this specific and accurate.

Disgusting that a billionaire seeks to take the only income most seniors have, along with the Medicare they rely on. Ghoulish.
