The IPEDS admissions survey data for 2024-5 still has not been released. It has not been this late in the past 8 years, if ever. This is not a good sign for how things are functioning at the Department of Education and @ipeds.bsky.social.

Why is Erie PA Rep Mike Kelly in this photo? Local media like @erienewsnow.bsky.social should investigate
Ever mindful of the visuals, he gathers a giant group of old white people to surround him and support him while he spews his vile racist rants.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

yes yes yes to all of this. material politics is the way forward and that doesn’t mean slogans it means the very difficult work of being a real presence in the lives of the people who you want to trust you.
It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:
1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

*You now have a single person in charge of the two largest sources of personal data in the government.

But isn't the real reason that we're shut down is that it prevents releasing the Epstein files?
