@michigandaily.bsky.social exposes UM for setting up a kangaroo court to go after student protestors and hiring former UVa goon Donovan Golich to act as the complainant, prosecutor and judge rolled into one. specials.michigandaily.com/2025/opinion...

I need you all to know that my mother sent me this. 🤣 That is all.

Shall we sacrifice the people, families, businesses, and environmental well-being of Yspilanti on the altar of TechBro fantasies? This UM prof says NO. @silkyweineck.bsky.social @umdeidefense.bsky.social @rebekahmodrak.bsky.social

Instead of getting his face melted, the Nazi gets hired as the new Asst. Provost for Viewpoint Diversity and Institutional Neutrality

Indiana Jones was a university professor who hated Nazis.

“A new $15 million campaign…is spotlighting how Trump’s policies are harming ordinary Americans…The nonprofit ‘Home Of The Brave’ initiative will share video testimonials from people across the country…‘who have been harmed by Trump’s disastrous policies.’” www.huffpost.com/ent...

Well played.

There are many things about academia that need fixing, but this one of the most insidious: the idea of “institutional neutrality.” It is a cowardly, cynical attempt to relieve universities from any moral responsibility for enabling racism & antisemitism to flourish www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/u...

More of this, please. Thank you.

Trump has opted to respond to weekend’s horrific political violence by insulting Gov. Tim Walz.

A Trump supporter kills an elected official and critically injures another, and Trump’s instinct is to mock Tim Walz and call basic decency a “waste of time.” He’s not just unbothered. He’s unfit. Morally bankrupt. And he proves it daily. apnews.com/article/trum...

"In its annihilative force and ambition, the Israeli campaign is unique among modern conflicts. In fact, the term 'war crime' is not even adequate for what's happening in Gaza." A searing, essential piece by Suzy Hansen:

Soundtrack is Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son,” the famous anti-VN War protest song slamming the fact that poor boys were being sent to fight rich men’s wars. Note the soldiers not marching in step or line…

My favorite is “Low energy Trump with Portapotties”. Elsewhere on social I am reading that the soldiers in the parade deliberately marched out of step.

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics. Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.

Don’t look away. Fascism is here NOW.

1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Terry Moran reported what he saw as the truth. In my opinion, this isn’t an “opinion” as much as a reporter who has observed an individual and reported on what he has observed. This is the kind of information. American needs to know.

Reichstag Fire conditions. Be safe, LA.

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ORDERS NATIONAL GUARD TO LOS ANGELES TO STOP PEACEFUL PROTESTS AGAINST ICE This is the moment many of us feared. Remember, Trump wants violence; he wants the martial law that any violence would quickly result in. I urge protesters to be smart and cautious.

There needs to be a public reckoning here. Who hired the goons? Who vetted them? Who supervised them? Who read their reports? How did those reports get to Nessel? And who is getting fired for this? @umich.edu @jordanackermi.bsky.social cloakinginequity.com/2025/06/07/e...

UM response is such a perfect parody of liberalism — we stand behind our intrusive, ideology-based, carcerally-minded surveillance, but we are simply shocked to hear about the ableism

Wait... is this the best meme ever made?

NEW: The Great Lakes hold 95% of all the surface freshwater in the United States. Severe cuts have decimated the NOAA Great Lakes lab. Scientists worry they’ve lost the ability to protect the public from toxic algal blooms, which can kill animals and sicken people. My story for @propublica.org

If I had this much wealth I would be ashamed to have this as my legacy 😔. To be able to do good and yet choose to crush the most vulnerable in a our world requires a sickness and a type of sociopathology that's in a category of its own. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Exactly.

seeing how fussy and cautious the reporting wing of the Chronicle tends to be, this is plenty damning. www.chronicle.com/article/is-t...

Today we remember the time when U-M Development demanded that a creative writing student write a praise poem for Santa Ono. www.chronicle.com/article/our-...

Santa Ono's word is his bond in the sense that it's a fungible asset that he is happy to exchange for some real estate in Florida

Kudos to Rebekah Modrak, who is quite bad-ass herself

Ono used his position at UM to fire DEI staff so he would look attractive to Florida and convince them to offer him a new job worth $$$. Conflict of interest much? @umich.edu #goblue #leadersandbest

Good riddance to the sock puppet. This mediocrity is perfect for Florida where the GOP will make sure he never has anything more weighty to do than smile for pictures and murmur banalities to donors.

I said “fear is contagious / courage is also contagious” in a speech too (April 17 UM Faculty Senate meeting, held to vote on resolutions to protect higher education). Bears repeating.

MAGA going full Nazi eugenics.
