AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

As a millennial professor, this whiplash has been intense.

Full-time salaries for most categories of faculty have remained about the same since 2002, adjusting for inflation, while admin pay soars. Faculty have had enough. We’re fighting back nationwide. ✊🏽✊🏻✊🏿 www.chronicle.com/article/amid...

Opinion | In 2012, after I published From the Jaws of Victory, a history of the UFW that also revealed much of Chávez’s complicated truth, I faced backlash within this same community. bit.ly/3NNHrkw 📝 Matt Garcia 📸 Les Lee

The Trump administration's war memes are not merely grotesque — they are symptomatic of an administration that experiences the online-media world as more real than reality www.vox.com/politics/482...

This is a historic milestone for working people in the South. Congratulations to the Volkswagen workers and our @uaw.org family on ratifying their first union contract. Better pay, healthcare cost reductions, job security and more — it’s #BetterInAUnion!

Georgetown’s annual celebration of Frederick Douglass Day Transcribe-A-Thon with the Colored Conventions Project!

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

Check out my opinion piece at De Los from the Los Angeles Times on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show as a history lesson.

This is the thing the cultural commodity spectacle of Super Bowl Sunday requires we bracket: the sport is predicated on human sacrifice. The players you watch today are being killed in front you, slowly, whether it looks like it or not. And the NFL can only get away with it because *we* watch.

1. The History of the Notion of Sin (the only class in which I received an A+ lol) 2. History of American Families 3. History of Roman Palestine 4. Teaching and Learning: The Having of Wonderful Ideas 5. Great Books in US History?

My targeted instagram ads are getting weird.

Officially a PhD candidate now that I've passed my comprehensive examinations. Yay!

I uh, un-recommend Best Bus

Feels like the US has spent the last 5+ years on the verge of some kind of secular moral revival that keeps getting channeled into weirdo lifestyle puritanism

A parent at a DC middle school is urging staff to reconsider its new curriculum, which removes all full-length novels from the 8th grade curriculum Opinion: DCPS middle-schoolers should be reading novels

from a thread about whether or not capitalism will "trump" racism. my 2 cents: mistakes here stem from a two very different orientations one can have: 1) capital is a key constraint on/enabler of political developments vs. 2) changes in capital *are* the (real) political developments

obviously plenty of other things should have already been disqualifying but people willing to defy Trump publicly and appeal to decency as their reason for doing so both seem pretty good

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October. She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE. “They’re failing all of us,” his mom said. thebarbedwire.com/2025/11/24/d...

Trump out here making "The name is Mamdani" tiktoks

This is some horrifying predatory shit.

I've been fretting about this all week

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide. And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft. What does OpenAI offer the world?

The mayor-elect has opened a portal!!!!

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Academics in Assyria in the 7th c BC complain that admin is preventing them from doing research and teaching

Man Wouldn't Have Worn Costume To Work If He'd Known He Was Getting Laid Off

My favorite tree on Georgetown's campus is looking good. @stnimlo.bsky.social

Learning to write an essay was more than an academic rite of passage. It was about learning to make an argument, support it with evidence, and articulate it clearly and maybe even with style. Many students still want to learn how to do that for themselves, despite AI. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...

oh just straight up gutter racism!

@olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social They made a meme of you on the other scary platform lol

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage. The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn. No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

YES this is how you do it Dems -- play hardball and grow a spine

Updating my LEGO White House

"Black organizers had noticed gaps in the campaign’s strategy for reaching Black voters. To address them, they led canvasses in working-class Black neighborhoods...By early October, Mamdani had taken a commanding lead over Cuomo among Black voters" hammerandhope.org/article/zohr...

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Progressives will only make lasting progress with Latino voters if they examine not just why Trump was appealing, but also why the left was not. @profmpastor.bsky.social on the Latino red wave: www.dissentmagazine.org/article/por-...

It probably doesn’t matter but I would be flooding the zone with images of the White House destruction right now.

The clips and conversations I’m hearing about the SNAP (food stamp) cuts should be above the fold everywhere. It’s a scary time for a lot of people.

On an unknown date in October 1962, Homer Garrison, Director of Texas DPS and Chief of the Texas Rangers, dressed in blackface for a work picnic and lampooned the NAACP. A thread on Garrison and racism in the modern Rangers./1 CW: racist language and depictions texasarchive.org/2009_00902

I realize that all the "we are going to win" inspiration posting codes as aesthetically liberal (being left is being unimpressed) and invites the responses you'd guess from a certain genre of more radical than thou poster but still surprised at the particular condescension strategies people go for

their ducks: not even in a row. in disarray. shambles our ducks: slowly arranging themselves into uncountable phalanxes
