This era shows why the academic work on settler societies (USA; Australia; South Africa), is so relevant to understanding the US today. We can have an inclusive democracy but it has a through-line of hatred & violence in defence of white masculine entitlement which is easy to activate at any point.

I know I probably sound like a deranged crank at this point, but it has seemed so obvious that we’re going to see infinitely more of this & related threats to funding over *this academic year* if we don’t collectively start rejecting these fascist tactics out of hand.
A professor at Texas A&M taught… something related to gender that offended a student, who secretly filmed herself objecting. That video is picked up by TX legislators, who demand her firing, and now the dean and dept head have been fired.

The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

I'm starting to look into how inflammation is being misused by MAHA types in a way that very much distracts from chronic illness-inflammation problems people actually have. If you're an academic, doctor, immunologist etc with thoughts on this, please be in touch at jmetraux@motherjones.com

About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”

Years of dealing with racists has taught me that all racists are also misogynists, so when they say “protect our women and girls”, they are only speaking half the sentence out loud. The full sentence is “protect our women and girls because they are OUR prey”.

All universities should be embedding social media fact-checking/evaluation into their curriculum. theconversation.com/college-stud... #civics #education #academics
College students are bombarded by misinformation, so this professor taught them fact-checking 101 − here’s what happened
Just 2½ hours of online instruction made students a lot better at identifying misinformation on YouTube and TikTok.

At a profound level, MAGA's immigration policies are simply a way to transfer taxpayer dollars to private contractors whose job is to terrorize the American people. Fundamentally, leaders are using our own money to destroy our democracy.
