"I am an American who believes that the only way to understand this country—the only way to love this country—is to tell the truth about it. Part of that truth is that chattel slavery, which lasted...for nearly 250 years, was indeed quite bad." Clearly said, @clintsmithiii.bsky.social.
I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.
Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad
The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

PRRI data finds that 47% of Americans believe that eligible voters being denied the right to vote is one of the most significant issues facing our elections.
On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act's signing into law, the future of the private right of action under the act is uncertain.

Any political scientists out there done work on how late civil rights efforts (late 1970s-1990s) might be opposed not with language of segregation/law and order but with language of anti-welfare/fed gov or privatization?

It's important to note here that we're not just talking about faculty & university staff. 100s of U.S. colleges are in towns or small cities where they form the major industry & lifeblood of the community. Loss of students -> loss of rent $, restaurant $, bars, bookstores, gaming stores...
The US could see a 30-40% decline in new international student enrollment, resulting in nearly $7 billion in lost revenue and more than 60,000 fewer American jobs. https://www.nafsa.org/fall-2025-international-student-enrollment-outlook-and-economic-impact

From Christ to Ghandi
Appears this truth —

Proves it, too:
Goodness becomes grandeur
Surpassing might of kings.
Halos of kindness
Brighter shine
Than crowns of gold,
And brighter
Than rich diamonds
Sparkles
The simple dew
Of love.
