Faculty in red states are being punished for failing to signal in their course descriptions that their classes will include content on "gender ideology." Remind me again which party was appalled by idea of "trigger warnings"? www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

OpenAI is anything but “open”—very early on, it left behind that marketing tag to become increasingly closed, elitist, and inherently anti-democratic. Empire of AI had a rather different subtitle in its UK edition: “Inside the reckless race of total domination.”

Labor activists in coalition of local unions and labor-adjacent orgs. This was new, including the whole workforce of higher ed: faculty, clerical, health care, custodians, librarians, counselors, IT, buildings maintenance, landscapers, dining services, etc. @higheredlabor.bsky.social

Thought the same today. Juries are part of the often-frustrating-but-much-better-than-fascism rule of law Trump is destroying.

Earlier this year, PRA and our partners hosted a roundtable with gender and reproductive justice activists and change makers to better understand criminalization during this period of authoritarian consolidation. Learn more at politicalresearch.org/2025/03/12/a....

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

"It can't happen here" is the handmaiden for "it" happening.

The way the US Republican Party talks about trans people is eliminationist in nature. They use rhetoric that clearly means that in their view, trans people do not have a right to exist in the world. It is inevitable that some people will hear that and see it as license to commit violence.

I'm pouring over the details of the reconciliation bill and its potentially apocalyptic effects on higher education for a short piece - it really is a five alarm fire. They're going to overhaul the student loan infrastructure as a means of anti-intellectual, resegregationist social engineering.

Two emergencies. One system failing pregnant people. One hospital was held accountable for denying life-saving abortion care. Another? Let off the hook. The Trump admin just rescinded EMTALA guidance—a quiet but dangerous move that makes hospitals less likely to act.
