Everything so stupid but I have faith it can get stupider

Another reason to vote for Mikie Sherrill @mikiesherrill.bsky.social this Tuesday! newjerseymonitor.com/2025/10/31/n...

I wrote about the 2025 cycle and women candidates and New Jersey www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/o...

"The current protest movement has already reached deeper into Trump country than at almost any point during the first Trump administration." wagingnonviolence.org/2025/10/resi...

"Faculty members describe heightened anxiety, sleepless nights & a persistent fear that a misstep could derail their careers. This psychological strain, compounded by workload & financial stress, leaves little space for creativity, innovation or joy in teaching." theconversation.com/college-facu...

"There’s a lot we can do. That’s what they want us to forget." www.labornotes.org/blogs/2025/1...

"Federal policymakers could choose to spend their energy addressing these challenges. Instead, they’re putting college out of reach for students who come from poor families." hechingerreport.org/opinion-we-c...

I would absolutely not be a professor if these limits were in place when I was a grad student. theconversation.com/new-student-...

“Workers, students, campus community members across this great country are coming together to fight for a higher education system that actually works for all — one that is affordable, strengthens freedom and democracy, and stands up to its public mission.” www.teenvogue.com/story/trump-...

Thou Shalt Not Declare War On Thine Own Country.

"This compact is a “reward” in exactly the same sense that it is “rewarding” to purchase protection from the Mafia. The compact is an open, explicit threat." balkin.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-...

"The future of higher education in America requires that every university reject it. If any schools capitulate, the pressure will be enormous on all to fold. The only solution is solidarity and collective action against this effort at federal control over higher ed." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/o...

People are going to go back to reporting icy conditions on Waze

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

"Viral outrage, administrative investigations and threats to cut state or federal funding to schools can all contribute to an intensifying climate of fear of retribution that constrains educators’ ability to teach freely." theconversation.com/mccarthyisms...

"This disinvestment has contributed to NJ having the fourth-highest college attendance costs nationally at $29,392 annually for in-state students at public institutions. NJ grads carry the sixth-highest debt burden nationally, averaging $39,709 in 2020." www.theeduledger.com/demographics...

Susan Monarez says RFK Jr. told her to commit to decisions in advance, without reviewing evidence and to dismiss vaccine experts.

Higher ed folks, if you're not involved now is the time. J oin your campus union or @aaup.org chapter, or if you don't have one start a @standhighered.bsky.social chapter: www.standtogetherhighered.org

The @aaup.org just shared guidance for academic workers on how to protect themselves online www.aaup.org/news/advisor...

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air. This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

"America did not get to the bad place it is in today by accident. We are here as a result of the combination of a political system that serves money, and a half-century long explosion of economic inequality that has produced an oligarchy."

"We need a labor movement that protects the First Amendment rights of members to speak on public issues, whatever they may be,without fear of retaliation or recrimination. Labor leaders condemning the new McCarthyism would set an example for the rest of the movement." academeblog.org/2025/09/12/t...

No, Charlie Kirk wasn't practicing politics the right way. His assassination deserves full condemnation writes @davidcorn.bsky.social, but his full impact should not be sidestepped. 👇

Do not dismiss any of this bc it's Texas. This could happen anywhere to any of us. The professor wasn't even in class-- he was speaking at a Revolutionary Socialism Conference. They're coming for us in higher ed. universitystar.com/32736/news/t...

Another professor in Texas is fired, this time after a selectively edited video of a talk he gave was posted on X, with the bogus claim that he was inciting violence www.texastribune.org/2025/09/10/t...

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

The slogan “Organize or Die” has become uncomfortably relevant. The latest from @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social on the legal, political, and organizing crises ahead.

"The best way forward is to organize in groups that are 100% oriented around protecting faculty rights. No one is coming to preserve the conditions that allow the work of teaching, learning, and research to continue to happen for us. It’s a dark time, but the needs of the moment seem quite clear."

Not only is this coming for you, it is here and we are collectively behind in preparing.

Really disappointed to see @diverseissues.bsky.social cite this extremely problematic research and make it sound legitimate. This is not what we need when university diversity efforts are under attack! Link to recent critique below. www.diverseeducation.com/students/art...

The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump. Join us.

Thousands of federal staffers working on mental health-related issues have been purged by Trump’s government. It's all a part of the president's mental health plan: Defund, incarcerate, disappear.

RFK Jr. must RESIGN OR BE FIRED if he doesn't believe in science. The HHS Secretary is risking Americans' lives by pushing conspiracy theories to enrich himself and Donald Trump.

FUN FACT: If Kamala was POTUS right now, NONE of our trade or diplomatic relations would be up in smoke. NONE of our farms and agribusiness would be going belly up. NONE of the soft power we used to get great trade opportunities would have dried up. All of this was avoidable.

"Despite enduring countless blows, Gen Z continues to fight for justice in whichever ways it can. While their actions may not always be what other generations expect — or even notice — young people’s impact on politics and activism is ever-present." wagingnonviolence.org/2025/09/bust...

Why isn’t the unemployment of Black womens a feminist four alarm fire?

But folks couldn't vote for the smart Black woman. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Absolutely a must-read. Democrats can't campaign on a healthy economy (as we did in 2024) when working-class Americans are struggling. We MUST do better at acknowledging economic strain and offering real solutions! newrepublic.com/article/1920...

This is an emergency for the entire Labor Movement. Let's build solidarity and remember WE have the power, not the billionaires! www.cnn.com/2025/09/01/b...

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

"We're past normal. The fascists won round one. [...] But they don't have the money. They don't have the cities. They don't have the educated workforce. They don't have the young. And most importantly, they don't have legitimacy in the eyes of the majority." cmarmitage.substack.com/p/i-research...

GOOD. This is the kind of direct action we need. Not a single elected official who is supporting Trump should be going anywhere in public right now without cries of "boo" and "shame" following them. Every single one. www.jezebel.com/everyone-boo...

This is not surprising for anyone in higher education, especially those in leadership positions. Support for DEI varies greatly across disciplines. We are not a monolith, so that whole coordinated indoctrination thing just isn't happening. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

This is great. I always do some fact-checking during class with students! theconversation.com/college-stud...
