Faculty and Students Demand Yale Not ‘Cave’ to Trump: Reports surfaced late last month that Yale University is negotiating a deal with the Trump administration, which is investigating the university’s admissions practices. www.insidehighered.com/news/governa...

Yale getting relentlessly mocked. Good. The president and trustees deserve it. Too bad the rest of us have to go down with this ship and its reckless captains. abovethelaw.com/2026/07/yale...

My time at #Yale over the past 2 years has shown me that the President & the trustees simply do not have our backs as faculty, students and staff. I explain what has transpired in New Haven & how it fits with Pozen/Hemel's idea of liberal autocracy in the academy. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Tell Yale: Don’t cave to Trump Administration demands. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

I forgot this was here lol

Have any cops resigned, refused, or even showed any sign that they are anything but a bunch of power hungry dipshits?

“The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, ‘leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,’ the scientists said in the paper.”

Not a coincidence he’s from Stanford

Do pilots text and fly?

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Finding out my exes dog died might’ve broke me. I was preventing a crash out 😭

in so many videos out of LA i am seeing officers aiming rubber bullets right into crowds, this is filling me with a deep and anxious rage knowing what happens when they do that www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

For decades marginalized communities warned about the militarization of law enforcement too. Is the literal military being deployed on protestors bad? Yes. But the police have tanks, y’all.

St. Louis was decimated by tornadoes Friday. Please consider supporting Ms Stella who lost her home and everything after 55 years gofund.me/93ef0514

Israel is literally the world leader on AI tech for mass murder.

It's (nearly) officially here: Proposals for a Caring Economy. It's full of thoughtful and thought-provoking pieces that take centering care as the basis of social organization, from everyday institutions to geopolitical relations. Thanks @uminnpress.bsky.social!

On Friday, I wrote this: medium.com/@ProfAlang/w... Yesterday, I had a call from someone I respect. It was a lecture on “piling on” & “throwing a respected colleague to the wolves…and for what?” This nonsense kept me awake. Sharing what I’ve emailed them in case anyone else is pissed at me.

Word. “The future of biomedical research in the United States comes down to a race to see whether the biomedical research community can mobilize politically, access that vast but latent political power, before the White House can do enough sustained damage to make the whole question moot.”

Hauled off to a detention center WEARING CHAINS AROUND HER WRISTS AND ANKLES and she'll be held there FOR A MONTH before she gets to see a judge, all because she made an illegal right turn on red. Jesus. And remember -- that ugliness is the due process that the Trump folks whine is too much.

And they want us to stop using the term “oligarchy” 🤣🤣🤣

“We are Jewish academics who have devoted our lives to teaching and research on college campuses. If there were a pervasive culture of antisemitism on campuses, we would know about it, and we would fight it. But we have observed no such thing.” No lies detected. academeblog.org/2025/04/25/i...

One week later, and the wounds are very, very fresh. Our NSF grant, which focused on educational justice for Black families in Evanston, was illegally canceled. Read more about it here: sepehrvakil.substack.com/p/our-nsf-gr...

NEW: 105 lawsuits. 50 restraining orders in 22 states. How an intense legal pushback to Trump's crackdown on foreign students forced the administration to relent on a policy that jeopardized their legal status. w/ @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Yesterday, our visiting scholar @moyazb.bsky.social shared her phenomenal new short film 'You Just Watch & See' about the inspiring life of her cousin Dollie. Look out for 'You Just Watch & See' on this year's film festival circuit! @asc.upenn.edu

“Every day, mass media manipulates our perception of what keeps us safe. The result is more and more authoritarian state repression… and huge profits for the massive public and private punishment bureaucracy.” 🎙️ Law & Disorder with @equalityalec.bsky.social 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/5lFx...

This is irredeemably morally offensive. It's also certain to be deeply unpopular with the vast majority of Americans. This regime is full of guys who are so far out of their minds they can't even tell how far gone they are.

was wondering if this had dropped, it has been the topic of the day among me & my colleagues

This is insane and everyone involved needs to be sued into oblivion and then go directly to jail

The ‘gamification’ the gig work. ‘Algorithmic wage discrimination. Precarious workers earning significantly less than minimum wage. Incredible (and infuriating) investigation by @ghadaa.bsky.social, who spent six weeks as an UberEats bike courier. www.thestar.com/business/i-w...

RFK Jr wants us to believe that chronic illness is a moral failing. That people should “try harder” to be healthy. He doesn’t want us to realize that poverty, food insecurity, lack of universal healthcare, poor public health and other government failures cause more disease than lifestyle ever will.

SCOOP: Barnard students are being interrogated about a bomb threat last month on the day students held a pro-Palestine sit-in at the library. But the school never revealed to the public -- or the students -- that the threat was against student protesters. theintercept.com/2025/04/24/b...

Studies on health misinformation and vaccine hesitancy are among those defunded by the NIH. At a time when this work is more important than ever it is a really unfortunate that it has been deprioritized. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

DUI doesn’t lead to unqualified people taking jobs. White supremacy does. They aren’t DUI hires. They are good ole boys and girls with no brains and a desire to commit violence. Label it properly.

The plan to prove that the most incompetent White men are preferable to the most highly qualified Black men has been a smashing success. Between the tariff lunacy tanking the economy, the chain-sawing of the federal govt, & Signal-gate (parts 1 & 2), the supremacy is not looking very supreme.

on the road again, this time to new haven looking forward to joining folks in yale’s department of anthropology tomorrow for a conversation about my book excited to learn what grad students in my own discipline picked up on!
