It would be a shame if that 24/7 option for students to report profs got spammed incessantly

I don’t disagree that Ben Shapiro is trying to kick Carlson out. But I still think the analogy here is fights between White Citizen’s Councils and the Klan. On most points, these folks agree. But the establishment prefers their bigotry thinly veiled and this is harder to maintain in the Trump era.
Ben Shapiro is outright trying to kick Tucker Carlson out of the conservative movement in this video. The right's civil war is truly here www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaRJ...

This from the head of a “think tank”
they all write/talk like this now and it feels like a new genre: hate smut; manic, agitated vitriol that reads like it was written while feverishly masturbating to revenge fantasies
it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

We marched in heavily Latino Cicero IL including along a busy road. People honked horns took photos & video & showed support. & they felt seen & supported after our cities have been terrorized by ICE. Some drove past multiple times, passengers cheering & in tears. El pueblo unido jamás será vencido

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

TFG admits he’s taking away freedom of speech … you know, that thing he boasted about bringing back.
"We took the freedom of speech away..." needs to be blasted across the nation.
Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Hearing a docent at the Chicago History Museum say that residential segregation in the city is “mostly just economic now” and I almost bit my tongue off.

As men no longer predominate on college campuses, the presence of women and people of color delegitimizes higher ed in the minds of those on the right. All that estrogen and melanin must mean something is amiss.
The new editor of CBS News looked at political violence in America, and confidently identified the "biggest culprits": the universities.

Fewer men are attending college, and violence is on the rise, so … following the logic … we blame women, of course, since they outnumber men in college, and the men who are attending must be especially prone to being swayed by their evil professors, so … do we ban men from college?

This reads like a JD Vance speech. Cast blame on those you don’t like, offer no evidence to support it, to distract people. I think the real blame falls on communists contaminating our precious bodily fluids. Or maybe space aliens. Ooh space alien communists. And they’re vegan.

As someone whose ancestors have been in the colonies/US for about 400 years, I reject this bullshit. I have no special claim to this place. I am organically bound to those who seek freedom and democracy.
What is an American?” Schmitt asked. It is a white person. America is a white homeland that organically binds together white people of the past, present and future. And its policies must be guided for their benefit if they are to succeed.

Crime is down in DC, so let’s claim there’s a crime wave and send in the FBI! Just like there is no migrant crime wave, so let’s militarize LA and arrest everyone who’s brown!

At #ASA2025 the only place to sit and rest seems to be in an empty ballroom. The hotel lobby is packed and the restaurant/bar wants you to spend money. How about some chairs outside the session rooms?

If you work in higher ed, you need to get your folks together and end the use of course evals or at least bar their consideration in evaluation, promotion, and hiring. This needed to happen yesterday because they don't measure learning, they measure instructor gender, but now it's a snitch pool.
