Proud AERA member indeed!

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

“And war intervened, and once again as so often in the past, the future of mankind was ruined.” -W.E.B. Du Bois

After 104 days of being unjustly detained for his advocacy for Palestinian rights, Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his wife and newborn son.

We always appreciate @bradlander.bsky.social but never more than when he shows up to protect people. We are horrified that masked federal agents are targeting our neighbors and our electeds. Call YOUR electeds and demand they show up, too! @indivisible.org

Such an important piece! And entirely too timely. Thank you for doing this work @jackiepedota.bsky.social !

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

if you give Shaun King money in 2025 you deserve everything that happens to you.

Think tanks, please stop making me embarrassed to have written something for you. Yesterday, today, and every day, trans rights are human rights.

I feel like a corporate baddie when I'm on slack. Then I'm like, I am not about this corporate baddie life.

At least 31 gender and sexuality based resource centers have shuttered across 23 college campuses. Read the full story here ⤵️

Thank you @tennesseelookout.com for including my thoughts in your recent article on Federal Grant cancellations that impact the state of #Tennessee We need more local reports of the federal impact to show that these cuts impact everyone! tennesseelookout.com/2025/05/27/s...

Somebody is gonna name their race and racism course "Is the Pope Black?" and I'm here for it

"We fall in love, we Critical Race theorists, because human beings are the end of our struggle. Nothing in any of our theorizing is worth one peppercorn if it does not make life better for our beloved community" - Mari Matsuda

It's funny because sometimes people make it clear they think I act the way I do because I work at UD but I was the exact same when I worked in Texas because this is just me and what the hell is tenure for if not to make good trouble

"We have no reason for being, no right to walk on this planet if we are takers and destroyers. We are justified in our existence by the righteousness we bring" - Mari Matsuda

dang we really going to denver?

Some reminders for reviews just make me want to take even longer

This international student is incredibly brave for going on the record about his visa suddenly being revoked, including how he has one semester left and his mom has terminal cancer: www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/n...

Windbreaker truly is all hands, no plot, and I'm here for it. But when do they actually go to class?!!?!

New publication! Thank you to the outstanding student editors at the Mercer Law Review for including our article, Race Centers as Critical Curriculum Spaces in U.S. Law Schools, in Volume 76, which features work on the intersectionality of law. digitalcommons.law.mercer.edu/jour_mlr/vol...

there's a tragic equivalent of Bell's "Space Traders" to the times and universities in particular. Who and what are universities willing to discard and abandon for the sake of their own existence?

More and more I understand why Derrick Bell just stopped talking about law and started talking about theology because faith, not laws, is what we can rely on

Must watch Tombstone tonight

I'M YOUR HUCKLEBERRY!!

Me reading Val Kilmer obits that don’t mention Tombstone

"Powerlessness is an alibi. Hopelessness too. I want to ask, what specifically are you going to do? What’s your 'I am Spartacus' move to protect the more vulnerable?" writes Kaveh Akbar.

"Bending the knee and precomplying will not stave off these attacks. Acquiescing to censorship will not stop the threats. Only engaging in collective, bold, public, strategic struggle and disruption has the potential to do so." #AcademicSky #EduSky www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

Former fellow @jackiepedota.bsky.social and Liliana Garces dive into how silence in the face of anti-DEI laws only serves to compound suppression. Read more:

Disappearing people to avoid the jurisdiction of the court in which they were taken by the state is authoritarian to the core and runs afoul of the spirit of Article III, the Due Process Clause, and the principles that emerged from the Glorious Revolution and the American Revolution. Arbitrary rule.

Kudos to the student journalists at The Tufts Daily, who crashed a last-minute issue of the paper to cover the outrageous arrest and detention of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk: issuu.com/tuftsdaily/d...

The Trump regime’s secret police continue to kidnap people across the US. Here they kidnapped a PHD Student Rumeysa Ozturk in broad daylight for publishing an article last year, critical of Israel’s war crimes in Gaza. People across the US have reportedly been tortured by the regime.

The fights are way too short in Solo Leveling but this episode was super fun. All the aura farming

I spoke with @audiosand.bsky.social for @npr.org All Things Considered about the fact that the "Anti-DEI" movement is an anti-Civil Rights Movement. www.npr.org/2025/03/17/n...

"[Baker] began her [chair comments] by acknowledging that the US 'no longer has an effective federal apparatus for education policy' and discussed how a diminished department will affect the policy implications outlined in the papers presented at her session." www.chronicle.com/article/i-wa...

SOLO LEVELING DOES IT AGAIN, MY GOD!! WHAT AN EPISODE!!!!!

REST IN PEACE TO BREONNA TAYLOR (June 5, 1993 – March 13, 2020)

Today would be yet another good day for university presidents to loudly, collectively, & publicly start defending our institutions & industry. The silence is deafening & frankly, incomprehensible. What exactly are you waiting for? How many Columbias, Maines, & Johns Hopkins will it take?

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy on Mahmoud Khalil.

Wow

Where all them free speech folks writing for the Atlantic right now??

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

This should be read as a regime commitment to systematic First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and Fifth Amendment violations.
