“We’re reviewing [National Climate Assessments], and we will come out with updated reports on those and with comments on those reports,” said Wright, who is one of the main supporters of the administration’s “drill, baby, drill” agenda to boost fossil fuels" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Talking to @smartgirl07.bsky.social about being labeled the "smart girl" in her family, being a first-gen college and grad school student (esp. in the humanities!), and, you know, libraries (cue the study music).

We are looking for multidisciplinary panels to be presented at our upcoming conference "Beyond Dualism—Thinking Creatively Across Worlds," which takes place in July next year. The full call can be found in the news section on our website: www.carsoncenter.uni-muenchen.de/news/news_ev... (1/?)

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Out now: my article on reproductive wondering in Critical Inquiry! @criticalinquiry.bsky.social Open access: www.journals.uchicago.edu/eprint/KI7NH...

The Texas Legislature passed a bill Friday to allow a period for prayer or religious study — part of a larger national movement to infuse more Christianity into schools. The bill goes now to Gov. Greg Abbott, who is expected to sign it.

A Texas House committee on Friday passed a comprehensive crackdown on abortion pills that also contains a controversial provision that says it cannot be challenged in state court before it is enforced. The bill goes now to the House for a full vote.

Breaking: Texas will require public school classrooms to display Ten Commandments under bill nearing passage.

Texas DEI ban in public schools gets House approval.

😭Very disappointing to see SB37 pass on a party line vote. Institutions of higher education did NOT ask for this bill. Faculty overwhelmingly testified against it. This is an unnecessary and disastrous bill that makes Texas, with Florida, a leader in dismantling higher ed. 1/

Texans: call or write your #txlege representatives to oppose #SB37! It'll go for a House vote again soon! secure.everyaction.com/azVDTvxO_ku_...

Flemish #vrtnws angle on the Harvard ban #https://vrtnws.be/p.M9MxbdMQq

This is pure authoritarianism. Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students, and existing foreign students must transfer or risk losing their legal status. On the other hand, if Harvard gave Trump a luxury jet, bet he and his thugs would change their tune.

#Texans please contact your Rep & the House Calendars Committee to protest SB37 which takes control of higher ed, ruins the educational mission, and does so much damage. THEY NEED TO HEAR FROM EVERYONE, not just university & college employees. aaup-texas.org/blog/f/oppos...
