After watching this with my kiddo, this soundtrack is on repeat. It's soooooooo good!

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken legislature? Our corrupt SCOTUS? Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

The Guardian broke the story about excessive surveillance on U Michigan’s campus (thousands of surveillance cameras, undercover cops trailing students, drones over public squares). U-M regents approved spending for cops/cameras and ignored our complaint in the May Faculty Governance report.

Looking to join one of the dopest research centers?? Then apply for this postdoc at the @umichstonecid.bsky.social to work with my colleague Pablo Mitnik!

Congratulations on your well-deserved promotion to Professor, Dr. Thomas! We're so fortunate to have you in the Marsal School! 💙💛

No lies detected. This is one of books we've kept despite having a tween. It's right up there with Click, Clack, Moo

Congratulations to Dr. F. DuBois Bowman for being named the president of his beloved alma mater, Morehouse College! You will be missed at U-M & I'm grateful our families crossed paths during our shared time in A2. #AcademicSky news.morehouse.edu/dr.-f.-duboi...

If you missed the ASHE first 100 days webinar moderated by @jackiepedota.bsky.social with me, @robertkelchen.com, Diane Cheng, and Kyle Southern, here's the recording. I talked about authoritarians but also told some jokes! youtu.be/qTxj9r3n_eE?...

In addition to my faculty role, I drive KidUber & am part of a field hockey support squad. I’m so proud of my kiddo’s team who came in 2nd at their U14 Regional Club Championship tournament this weekend. On to the USA Field Hockey National Club Championship in June! 💙🧡🐍🏑 #fieldhockey

Santa Ono says he “declined to politicize the institution.” While Pres of UM, he: 1. Cancelled the student vote about BDS because he personally disagrees with boycotts of Israel. 2. Prosecuted peaceful pro-Palestinian student protesters. 3. Fired a staff member at the bequest of the ADL.

He's sweating and has not officially even gotten to Florida. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

Who’s surprised? Anyone… anyone….

Things that set the group chats on fire on a Sunday night...

✳️ New manuscript out this week in the Journal of Postsecondary Student Success ✳️ We examined how low-income students experience career programming intended to support their success. It was helpful, but at times stressful & created tensions related to identity journals.flvc.org/jpss/article...

Indiana has passed legislation that, if signed by the governor, will allow him to appoint IU trustees and the state to decide which academic programs to eliminate. "Overreach doesn't begin to describe the actions of the Legislature,” one source told @ryanequinn.bsky.social. tinyurl.com/mwjbmx3f

🚨 Practical URGENT tip for NSF grantees: Out of an abundance of caution, I would right now go into Research.gov and… 1. Download your NSF award letters. 2. Print PDF your annual reports. 3. Screenshot the status table for annual reports. NSF is planning maintenance tomorrow to Research.gov

They are segregationist and this will be open season for discrimination. “the Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for all agencies to the extent they contemplate disparate-impact liability”

NAACP Legal Defense Fund sues Dept of Education over ongoing destruction of data infrastructure 💪🎉 Suit is on behalf of National Academy of Education & National Council on Measurement in Education LDF has a long and storied history. So honored they are representing NAEd, of which I am a fellow

There was a big #WeAreDEI rally and march at U-M this evening. Started on the Diag, then off to Ruthven where the 4 new resolutions of the faculty senate were posted on the central administration's doors.

At today’s rally in support of DEI at U-M, our first student speaker named the divestment from this work what it is - institutional betrayal. They reminded us that when the institution doesn’t show up for us, we show up for each other. #WeAreDEI

Another example of advancing eugenics & white supremacist, sexist logics through purporting the neutrality of science

Come join members of the University of Michigan community who are marching in support of reinstating DEI work at the institution on Tuesday, April 22nd, at 5 pm at the U-M Diag. Hope to see you there! #WeareDEI @umdeidefense.bsky.social

A few of the many thoughts that I have on the short & long term implications of cutting federal research support are in this article. Research, teaching & learning environments, efforts to diversify the academic pipeline, etc. will all suffer as resources & opportunities are constrained #AcademicSky

Thanks to your reports, we have created a tracker of college campus Visa revocations. Please continue to let us know if you hear of these (names of colleges and number of revocations). www.wearehighered.org/campus-abduc...

Fill the Diag! Protect DEI at #UMich. Monday, March 31, 12-1pm.

I’m not surprised, but it doesn’t ease my anger, frustration, & disappointment as an alum & faculty member. Please miss me with any more talk of being the “leaders & best” moving forward. I’ve always been critical of this concept, but it rings especially hollow now. #AcademicSky

Columbia University has failed to defend academic freedom & freedom of speech & allowed a great institution to be bullied & extorted into submission by an administration hellbent on contorting higher education to their will. The AAUP condemns this capitulation. We can & must fight back.

A must read from @hfdavis.bsky.social “What colleges and universities do next, in the courts and on their campuses, may very well determine whether higher education and the American democratic project will survive long enough to pursue a redeemable future.” electronicintifada.net/content/univ...

Columbia is hoping to keep its money but losing so much more in the process. Giving in to these demands won’t “ensure uninterrupted educational activities” nor will it protect the institution & its students, staff, & faculty. It emboldens those in power to silence & strip freedoms from communities

According to his petition for release, "Suri has no criminal record and has not been charged with a crime" but "is being punished because of the Palestinian heritage of his wife—who is a U.S. citizen—and because the government suspects that he and his wife oppose US foreign policy toward Israel."

Northwestern should be ashamed that they've bowed to political pressure, thereby threatening us all. They hired Steven, in part, for the very social justice activism they are now denying him tenure over. I'm proud to call @thrasherxy.bsky.social a friend and appreciate his courage.

When cultures of compliance are used to silence, stiffle, & erase minoritized & marginalized people...

This overreach & the threats associated with it is designed to force all institutions to comply. Restricting agency & speech is about control & stifling resistance, not about ensuring that Jewish students feel safe on campuses.

Actively removing supports & opportunities to build community among queer, trans, & racially minoritized students reinforces who & what is important to the institution. And clearly, it's never been these students. #AcademicSky #HigherEd

Actively undermining efforts to educate people & generate data that can be used to highlight inequities in experiences & outcomes is 💯 on brand for this administration. It’s insulting to say these moves are to benefit kids & the country

The Trump administration has canceled a program that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from local farms and ranchers. The cut will hurt students, farmers, low-income families, and people experiencing food insecurity. All so that Elon Musk and his billionaire buddies get more tax cuts.

This isn't going to get the attention of Columbia, but it's at least as bad: the University of Maine is having its funding cut off because the governor of Maine dared to challenge Trump.

This. Is. Huge. Duterte voiced support for extrajudicial killings and is alleged to have sanctioned and participated in them as a political leader.

We call for the immediate release of former Columbia University grad student Mahmoud Kahlil, a legal permanent resident of the US. His abduction is an assault not only on basic immigration law but on our 1st Amendment protections of freedom of speech & assembly. www.aaup.org/news/aaup-co...

JUST IN: A federal judge has temporarily blocked Trump administration efforts to deport a Palestinian activist who helped lead protests at Columbia University.

A President who detains a protestor and revokes their legal status can only be called one thing: A dictator. Silencing dissent is unlawful, unjust, and authoritarian through and through.

BIG NEWS TODAY! The US District Court in Maryland delivered another major victory for diversity, equity, inclusion, & accessibility (DEIA) by reaffirming that the court’s nationwide preliminary injunction we won applies to every agency in the executive branch. democracyforward.org/updates/nado...

Kudos to @jpalfrey.bsky.social and the MacArthur Foundation for stepping up at this critical moment. Increasing foundation giving to fill the gap left by the broken promises and breached contracts of federal funding shows true leadership and compassion. #belovedcommunity apnews.com/article/maca...

For all the folks who say the @clevelandcavaliers.bsky.social aren’t that good despite having the best record in the league… 👇🏼 #letemknow

Iowa legislators, trans folks deserve so much more from you. To intentionally strip away rights & protections is unconscionable. And as a former resident of the state, I wish I could say I was more surprised by this vitriol.

"Executive orders do not create laws—they signal intentions. Complying does the labor for the administration so they don’t have to do the legislative work—which they don’t want to do because it is highly unpopular. More importantly, erasing these programs & terms is an attempt to erase our humanity"

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, says the National Science Foundation has given money to thousands of "Woke DEI" studies. Researchers say that's misrepresenting science and disparaging important research.
