Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

The #antidefamationleague has truly shown itself to be a farce. A close personal advisor to the US president does a literal Nazi salute, and you obsequiously come to his defense? Disgusting and shameful. Congrats #adl for selling your soul to #musk and his friend #trump. I hope it was worth it!

Close personal advisor to #donaldtrump #elonmusk performed two thinly veiled Nazi salutes at Trump’s #inauguration. A signal of friendship to the far and alt rights? A brazen demonstration that he can do anything he wants? Likely both.

If you’re an educator, today is a great day to combat whitewashed narratives of #DrKing that de-radicalize him, strip him of his socialist voice, and leverage him to keep Black folks and other oppressed and marginalized communities complacent because of supposed gains. #mlk #mlkday

While I can’t say I exactly agree with the #tiktokban, any other decision from #scotus would’ve lacked any legal merit. Congress and the executive acted together within their constitutional powers, and the first amendment claim was weak at best, especially weighed against national security concerns.

#SCOTUS ’s decisions expanding the legal personhood of #corporations has taken us through their #freeexercise rights when denying #healthcare and their right to spend money as a #speech act. I wish their coming line in the sand weren’t just arbitrary partisanship. #pornhub #supremecourt

There is something almost poetically (certainly pathetically) #neoliberal about #unitedairlines, valued over $50 billion, emailing me if I want to donate MILES to the #cawildfires. Can’t I just give my blood or organs or something and cut to the chase?

#Trump talking about #Greenland and #Panama and whatever else is as keys dangled before a toddler. He is doing and will do actual things. The talk about Canada is to get you focused on something so that he can do sleight of hand while you’re distracted.

As someone with an interest in the Social Gospel and as a religion scholar generally, I try to impart to my students that not only is religion not inherently conservative, its public face has actually been quite liberal at various points in (especially US) history. Carter is a great example of this.
