So many of us maybe feeling like today is not the day to watch this video but I highly say the opposite. This is the day to watch it.

To pre-empt any headlines from RFK’s ACIP, we discuss Thimersol, what it is, why it exists, and what to know.

Thank you to @anacabrera.bsky.social @msnbc.com for the trust.

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

There was big news out of D.C. as Jack Smith pushed all his chips in on a petition before SCOTUS to settle Trump’s alleged “absolute immunity” once and for all. I dive into the contours of this gutsy strategy and even offer a few predictions of my own. open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

Final, 53-page report of AAUP's Special Committee on Florida, on which I had the privilege of serving, is now published. Some themes from our dozens of interviews: "[T]he reality in Florida is 'Orwellian,' and Florida is the 'canary in a coal mine.'.... Being a bystander is no longer an option."
Report of a Special Committee: Political Interference and Academic
Published December 2023.1 What we are witnessing in Florida is an intellectual reign of terror. There is a tremendous sense of dread right now, not just among faculty; it’s tangible among students

Devastating portrait of 5 teachers gone from WVU, including the writer Ann Pancake, who left "due to what she called the 'gutting' of the university." News to me: the flagship university at the only state entirely within Appalachia is losing its Appalachian studies minor.
Meet five professors departing WVU due to budget cuts
WVU’s downsizing means losing faculty members across programs, including in world languages, music, Appalachian studies and business
