We aren’t supposed to be worried about this, though, right?? 🫠
Honestly, if the house and senate aren’t flipped heavily in 2 years, it’s going to be game over, folks.

I have a bet with a law school classmate about whether there will be an election in four years.
When I win, I get $5, or five X bux or whatever the national currency is, assuming women can still get money at that point.

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

I think all the time about what happened to Steven Salaita at UIUC and how the reason their Provost survived that and they got away with it is because STEM refused to support their colleagues in the humanities

This whole thread - but also, and despite my own deep cynicism, I have still been surprised by all the powerful institutions complying in advance. My uni is striking all mentions of diversity. The last 18mos has shown admins are generally unwilling to stand for academic freedom with their faculty.
Instead of "don't cut our funding," our message should be: hands off higher ed.
You want to restrict what professors can say in the classroom? Hands off.
You want to ban diversity offices? Hands off.
You want to cut our research funding? Hands off.
Hands. Off. Higher. Ed.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
