Very proud to have worked on this statement of the Modern Language Association with @annamillsoer.bsky.social and other colleagues on the MLA’s task force on AI in Research and Teaching. It is a direct call for faculty input into Ed Tech decision-making, especially AI: www.mla.org/Resources/Ad... 🧵

#DetroitLions Working on this. It's writing itself.

Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Once a rural hospital closes, it’s not coming back. We’re looking at irreversible damage to healthcare for rural Americans. Every story should mention this.

What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July? 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 Congress? Our corrupt Supreme Court? Our ridiculous buffoon President?

A Pell Grant and work study helped me get through college. Others deserve that chance as well. #AcademicSky

Filed for a preliminary injunction in our suit against the attack on NEH, & it seems our case will be looked at alongside the Authors Guild suit. Both approaches are vital, & they're different from each other. Will keep you posted. Plz help with donation to Pave the Way www.mla.org/About-Us/Sup...

The Modern Language Association @modernlanguage.bsky.social task forces on AI want to hear from members, prospective members, and interested writing, literature, languages, and Humanities educators! Please take a moment to fill out the survey! www.surveymonkey.com/r/DVBMXDR?ut...

People counting down to 2028 thinking Trump is just going to just peacefully leave when his term is over, like they can just wait out an authoritarian takeover, are completely delusional and have absolutely zero understanding of what fascism is.

Please, I’m begging The NY Times to write about any other college than Harvard. (And, yes, I know that Brooks is not a serious thinker, but still.) www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/o...

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

Time for @jsanofranchini.bsky.social's talk! And here it is: docs.google.com/document/d/1... #4C25

Fuck their exemptions. Its always about save me, fuck the rest of us, with these people They all need to Stand up to this fucker or sit down & suck it up like the rest of us have to

The problem is: they've mistaken correlation for causation. They think their parents and grandparents had a good life *because* of manufacturing jobs. When, in reality, their parents and grandparents had a good life *despite* manufacturing jobs, because of unions, high taxes, and social policies.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

No means no—whether it’s women or countries. This regime just doesn’t understand respect or boundaries

Every single member of the Columbia administration should step down. Through their complicity and their cowardice, they've betrayed their faculty, their staff and most of all their students. There's no way they can lead that university in any meaningful sense from this point on.

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed. Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance. My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

The modern Republican party can accurately be described as a group of child molesters who are stealing from us

I am accepting submissions for my emerging writer series at gay.submittable.com. You should have three publications or fewer and no book contract. Yes, this is a paid opportunity. Guidelines at the link. Plz follow the guidelines.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

It’s infuriating that Penn, Stanford, etc are the subject of most higher ed reporting. Begging a reporter to discover a community college.

People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔 He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. “The Library IS for Everyone” 💚 #BlackHistoryMonth

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

So far here’s a list of companies reinforcing their commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: Apple Costco Bank of America Delta JP Morgan Marriott Microsoft Procter & Gamble Goldman Sachs American Airlines Southwest Airlines United Airlines Catholic Health

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means. "He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"
