I think I know the answer but I want to hear the analyses of Amy Hagopian, Ellen Schrecker, Geo Maher, Corinna Mullin, and Tom Alter. And their wisdom regarding how to fight back! Register now for CAHE's event!

We had the square-jawed, broad-shouldered guy. And now the Department of Labor gives us "A Dream Worth Fighting For". Again, history repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce.

Trump officials continue to use images from Portland 2020 to wildly mislead people about the state of Portland 2025. Today, DOJ AAG for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon reposts MAGA "media consultant" on the ruling yesterday allowing OR National Guard to be called into Portland. The image is from 2020.

First as tragedy, then as farce. Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will (1935), AI-generated video posted on Trump's Truth Social of a crowned Trump dropping shit on the American people (2025).

The Department of Labor just put this out on their X feed. Seems about right for this administration.

Do we all remember how this began? Were you fighting for the academic freedom to teach CRT in 2020?

Trump is calling the destruction of academic freedom his "Great Reform Agenda in Higher Ed." One political party breaking and then remaking higher ed. along its preferred ideological lines is not "reform," it's authoritarianism. Say No to the Compact.

Working on an article about the politicization of the civil service, did a search to find out how many Executive Orders Trump has signed so far in 2025. AI overview told me that it's July 5, 2025 and Donald Trump is not in office. So relieved to learn this! Thanks AI!
