We've all grown numb to Trump accusing an entire political party of committing felonies with negative proof, but that doesn't mean the Speaker of the House gets a free pass. Every media question he gets from now to November should demand he put up or shut up. Humoring this bullshit is dangerous.

Roberts Court wants to create world where Dems have no legitimate chance to ever take control of Congress, there are no Black members of Congress from the South & no voting rights violations can ever be proven. Their end goal is permanent white GOP minority rule www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court upheld an Alabama Congressional map that denies Black voters fair representation. This decision flies in the face of democracy and is another critical blow to our voting rights.

This is so fucked up. Years of scholarship stolen and resold on Amazon, without a word of the archaeologists and historians who did the labour, the interpretations…the actual work. Dystopian stuff. theamericanscholar.org/who-is-blake...

One reason Republicans are banning books and classes on race is because reading even one book about Jim Crow or Reconstruction makes it clear that they are hoping to reinstate segregation.

What I wish for everybody to remember when Canvas comes back online: The reason OUR data can be held for ransom is because Instructure, their owners (KKR private equity & Dragoneer venture capital), & our own employers (see ASU Atomic) monetize it. It's Canvas that hacked education & stole our IP.

#tdih 1970 Kent State, National Guard shot unarmed college students: protesting U.S. bombing of Cambodia & passing by. Killed 4, wounded 9. Also remember massacres at — Orangeburg (2/8/1968) & — Jackson State (5/15/1970) Study & teach ALL three. ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ke...

free speech on campus going well, I see.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

It is quite telling that since the horrific story of Cesar Chavez re: sexual abuse broke earlier this week and calls to change the names of schools and other public spaces named in his honor, not one conservative voice has stepped forward to object that this would be tantamount to erasing history.

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

Hey the guy that makes the deepfake generator and suicide machine is gonna get into the murderbot business sounds great what could go wrong

Excited to announce that Gustavo Flores and I have a new book coming out later this year with @univnebpress.bsky.social! More details coming soon, but for now here is the amazing cover featuring art by Katie Dorame.

Ask everyone you know what their favorite and most memorable class was in college and take careful note of how few of them name a course from their major or that is relevant to their current career.

We at Stanford University are grateful to the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe and the North Fork Mono Tribe for this collaboration on Muwekma Ohlone land. news.stanford.edu/stories/2026...

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be

Huh. This entire administration is an Epstein Island afterparty.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

"I think it's no surprise that a company run by a man who sat behind Trump at his inauguration, and donated to the destruction of the White House, has taken a stance that helps ICE agents retain anonymity." Scoop from @davidgilbert.bsky.social

God bless Billy Bragg, still out there being Billy Bragg.

it feels a lot like today's murder is in response to the mass protests yesterday, as if to tell us we're powerless, that our solidarity won't protect us.

Understanding Trump means grasping that he sees our government and our country the way private equity sees a company it takes over. You crack it open, extract all the value from it as fast as you can, line your pockets with it, and walk away. If it means nothing to you, destroying it is irrelevant.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

They're not just doing tyranny, they're doing the *exact* things listed in the Declaration of Independence that the colonists accused the king of. It's surreal

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

One reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is because every societal institution, including the media, has completely normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.

Thus redacted Zarathustra

An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

We staffed the entire FBI with guys who only make memes and podcasts, hope that doesn't affect our ability to respond to major crimes

When Charlie Kirk was shot, he did a full oval office address. When it's college kids on campus it's "things can happen." What a sociopath.

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

one thing that doesn’t get enough coverage or comment with regards to this administration is it how much it hates the actually existing united states

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

Stanford University has apparently removed its land acknowledgment from campus-wide events. Native students have created a petition to have it reinstated. Learn more here: c.org/wxV5SxCtm2

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Senate hearings aren’t done for funsies. Section 106 is in the sights of the deregulation efforts of this administration. Speak up if you think it’s important cultural resources are considered in project permitting. www.culturalheritagepartners.com/section-106-...

This is among the most corrupt things a president has ever suggested, and I hope the press treats it that way. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

How to Join ICE theonion.com/how-to-join-...

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained. These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

Watching our mad king don his AI slop crown and publicly fantasize about rage shitting on our moment of collective power is the perfect counterpoint: he's the one isolated in his impotent fury, clinging to the online simulacrum while we primally express and experience our very real strength.

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons
