Guys, this is David Brooks in the NY Times. If it's like this 90 days into this presidency with people who wouldn't be caught dead saying it last year, imagine it in two years. Something good is happening, we just have to lift everybody up so they can see it.

It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Watch these incredible moments from Senator @coreybooker.com’s filibuster speech. His filibuster was record breaking 25 hours & 4 minutes. He edged past the previous high mark set by South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond, who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957 for 24 hours & 18 minutes.

Deep take on #signalgate. National security people too lazy to go to their SCIF in their basement while forcing VA therapists to violate HIPPA while returning to the office.

QUESTION to @academic-chatter.bsky.social #academicsky
What are your conference organizations saying in response to the travel situation in the US? What is the appropriate level reaction?

These countries have issued advisories about travelling to the U.S.

Several countries have added travel warnings for their citizens travelling to the United States in light of concerns they could face problems at the border because of the Trump administration’s polici...

Absolutely. Every time. But if I am pausing- with all my privilege and education- that makes it scary

Emily Block @emilyblock.bsky.social · Mar 23

For the first time in my very privileged life, I am feeling the urge to think carefully about what I post about politics. Will it impact my ability to enter a foreign country? Go to a conference? Do some projects? Get funding? This is how freedom dies #academicsky

Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email:

"Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."

Jeremy and colleagues, Many deals I work on have concepts of conditional
notice. This is mine. Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment, which should include at minimum (i) signing on to the firm amicus brief in support of Perkins Coie in its litigation fighting the Trump administration's executive order against it, ii) committing to broad future representation, regardless of whether powerful people view it as adverse to them, (iii) refusal to cooperate with the EEOC's request for personal information of our colleagues clearly targeted at intimidating non-white employees, (iv) public refusal to fire or otherwise force out employees at the Trump administration's directive or implied directive and (v) public commitment to maintenance of affinity
groups and related initiatives. This is not what I saw for my career or for my evening, but Paul Weiss' decision to cave to the Trump administration on DEl, representation and staffing has forced my hand. We do not have time. It is now or it is never, and if it is never, I will not
continue to work here.

Accreditation is a pain in the ass anyway. And it looses all of its power if top schools refuse to be accredited. #BoycottAACSB @academic-chatter.bsky.social

Dr Kevin D. Tennent @kevindtennent.bsky.social · Mar 10

The AACSB, which is a global business school accrediting body, has:

'removed or rephrased the terms "diversity" and "inclusion" and their derivatives'

from its standards while claiming it is still committed to diversity, equality and inclusion.

Chest feeding now = human generating milk from my nipples? This is disgusting, particularly as it is being used as strategy to placate the sexist and homophobic base and distract them from the fact that this administration is also not serving their intetests.

As both a researcher and an “individual of a feminine persuasion,” I cogitated seriously on a joke about how word-count limits in conference submissions need to change… but I’m too freaked out to have a sense of humor this morning.
