🧵Ecstatic + GRATEFUL to share the cover of my first book, The Price of Exclusion: The Pursuit of Healthcare in A Segregated Nation (HarperCollins June 2026). I can’t wait to share this in community with you. Pre-orders are available today, wherever books are sold : bookshop.org/beta-search?...

Collective Punishment, Early Decision Edition (opinion)
Punishing every student at a school because a single student broke an early-decision commitment is poor form.

I wonder if the Columbia leadership realizes (or cares) how much blowback there might be from *within* the academy.

This post, from a Cornell Law professor, is worth reading:

I pledge that I will not provide any service to Columbia University. I will not speak at conferences held at or organized by Columbia. I will not publish with Columbia publications or provide peer reviews for them. I will not provide outside tenure evaluations for Columbia departments. I will not contribute in any way to the institution until everyone who is responsible for this week’s shameful decision has resigned, retired, or been fired, and until Columbia repudiates their catastrophic choice.

He's been hanging around our yard lately. Definitely glad the cat is an inside cat. When he takes off, his wing span is impressive.

At a time when the value and purpose of college has come under intense scrutiny, neglect of general education has become increasingly untenable. chroni.cl/4j8825p
Students Are Disoriented by Gen Ed. So Colleges Are Trying to Fix It.
It’s a tall order, but it’s crucial.

Too many people are okay with this.

Medicaid covers more than 3 million North Carolinians in all, including 1.3 million just in rural counties. Medicaid also pays for 60% of all nursing home stays in our state, and almost half of all childbirths.

Cutting Medicaid would be absolutely devastating to North Carolina.

Allison Riggs won the election for NC Supreme Court. Changing the rules after the election to throw out the votes of tens of thousands of North Carolinians who followed all of the rules is a travesty.

I’d been reporting about this for years and most recently tied the “chaos” at the school board to white supremacy and the fall of our democracy: www.ajc.com/education/ge...
