Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's. And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today. Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

folks will often remind you that you are not yt even when you do their bidding!

Learning sciences students! @islsilssa.bsky.social is seeking nominations to join the leadership of the International Learning Sciences Students Association Share this with the students you know! mailchi.mp/3cb58f5d38c9...

me: they think it should be illegal to have black people in positions of influence savvy, sophisticated pundits: don't be hysterical the trump administration:

Shout out to all of the faculty and students who made it through this semester in particular. What a time to be teaching and learning in spaces that are directly under attack from people who benefited from having access to the same resources themselves.

got to write with some of the homies, and it’s always a pleasure.. check out our piece on critical hope in climate change ed — www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Three Democratic congressional representatives from New Jersey had also attempted to visit the facility on Friday. In a social media post, one of them, Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman, wrote that the facility had opened without permission from the city.

and the destruction of the arts as a whole allows for eradication of culture, identity, knowledge and creativeness tied to place, being and difference.

imma need folks to not stand harvard bc they’re a corporation who is banking on the brand of ‘the uni who saved democracy’ making them money down the road.. money makes money in this system & they be neglecting folks doin the work!

You know why European countries are so quiet about the El Salvador situation? Because they started the normalisation of extraterritorial detention of migrants and asylum seekers, often without any due process. The UK’s Rwanda plan. Italy’s attempted plan with Albania. And some still want to do it.

on resisting & combatting misinformation.. this piece solidified the route that i’m currently striving towards and some of what i view as my contribution to movements as a black disabled scholar.. figure this entire issue is timely — Speculative Youth Archiving www.bankstreet.edu/research-pub...

young folks storytelling is so rad bc how do they make connections from being cold to poison oak to jelly fish and it all be cohesive, like i love it

It finally happened. The first documented case of a public school teacher being fired for referring to a student by their chosen name, instead of their dead name, as required by a law signed by Ron DeSantis in 2023: www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

This is the literal destruction of knowledge. Mississippi libraries are being ordered to remove academic research on race and gender from library databases. mississippitoday.org/2025/04/08/m...

Hi! Are you a US researcher who spent time thinking about humans? Then your work is in danger of censorship and loss. I'm here to walk you through basic self-archiving. Maybe you think I am being hyperbolic. You only worked on bacteria! Not your problem. Do me a favor and join me anyway.

organzin folks go lobby for this is something that’s highly beneficial too!

part of growing in my relationship with my chronic illness and disability is realizing i can’t do research the same way i was doin before.. that switch up is a lot 😮‍💨 not that the current climate would allow for either way

We noticed some hateful flyers in our neighborhood and they were giving a rage headache every time we saw one. So instead of just being mad, we created new ones. Please feel free to use! This one is: Protect Trans Kids in black and white and in color.

We're living through a nightmare. (Yes, this is authoritarianism.) www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Thank y’all for this great work, already have plans to cite in my dissertation.

imma need a roster of 🧊 officers — so like like how student sections do at sports games — we get all their personal info for sabotage

A brave American created a dashboard to track people who are deported, detained or renditioned for political reasons by the Trump Adminstration: @disappearedtracker.bsky.social We should all visit and learn how widespread this problem is. public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

What Vance is doing here is ENORMOUS disinformation. International students at the undergrad level typically pay full tuition, which subsidizes tuition for American students on financial aid by keeping tuition costs lower. At the grad level, domestic students are harder to recruit!

I sincerely think that universities should suspend their productivity standards for scientists and ask them instead to hold town halls in schools, public libraries, museums, shopping malls, and anywhere else and communicate what is being lost with the collapse of the research ecosystem.

With Trump ramping up efforts to disappear people under the dubious pretext of "gang affiliation," Hannah Dreier’s gutting @propublica.org story from 2018 is a must-read. It exposes how high schools, police, and ICE funneled students into detention and deportation over nothing more than a doodle.

One of my colleague's students wrote this, and fuck, it hits hard: www.statnews.com/2025/03/03/m...

"Despite multiple attacks by the eagle, the goose remained unbowed. The raptor, defeated, flew off." The cobra chicken remains triumphant. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The layoffs come after 200 Sesame Workshop employees announced they want to form a union.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

What Rep Al Green did is what they all should have done Anyone who remembers the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam War protests and ACT UP know that resistance means nothing if the party you’re resisting can just ignore you

Most people are not political scientists using formal definitions. So I am curious when is the moment that people tell themselves "oh, I live under an authoritarian government now." Because what else is this? www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

hearin the peregrines back on campus to build their nest made my day fr

am i learning scientist now? this was… a lot. & i’m thankful to the youth & community members that allowed for it to come to fruition — focused on seattles black geographic history, learning thru the humanities & youth design.. check it out :) #academicsky www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Genocide, scholasticide, and epistemicide. Historically and that are happening right now… love you, Chanda, for consistently getting the word out and educating our people. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This type of overreach is unconscionable, and if successful, sets a very dangerous precedent for overreach in university affairs and faculty hiring efforts.

tryna still share the lil joys.. sharing a bit about my relationship with my body and ways we can learn through that relationship.. the delayed enjoyment of this piece coming out is strange as my body — and many others — are under attack. #AcademicSky journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I have two op-eds to share today! First up is an article in Fulcrum titled No Going Backwards: Cannot Take Down DOE. In it, I talk about the potential shuttering of the DOE as a movement toward (back to?) separate but equal. I’ll share the other later today! thefulcrum.us/inclusion-di...

i’ve had accommodations denied and myself required to do a talk in person while 75% of those I met with were online 🙃

meanwhile confederate flags, and those boasting them, relish

philly post super bowl is peak content bc it proves movin in mass towards one goal and being in community can put immense pressure / take it all down

yoooo the flag motifs were crazzzzyyy.. like the intentional design to have the palestine and sudan flag and make sure someone video taped it so it could be shared immediately?!? and they had them in all black with a light going through intentionally?!?!

black music 🤝🏾 resistance

all the flags really did a thing

Universities — including the schools that most aggressively shut down student activism — are now fully panicking because the Trump administration is about to shut down all kinds of funding for research and more. Too bad they made it clear that their students shouldn’t speak up and speak out.

Yes, everyone is correct. They're not advocating for a "strict meritocracy." Affirmative action is over. They're now suing over the very presence of Black people and Latinos in elite education and white collar careers. They're advocating for resegregation. Call it out every time.
