Whelp, apparently it’s time to start looking for a new job. Not days, but definitely months. So much for the stability of a university.

That moment when you realize you’re doing something almost to the day that you were doing something 33 years ago…I’m sitting on my kid’s bed, which used to be mine, in a tent, reading Greek mythology. I was researching to build a life size Medusa then, now for a Girl Scout camp.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

For the Signal bullsh*t with the US gov, what absolutely should not be lost or forgiven is that they set the text messages to auto-delete. This is very much illegal, as it is a direct and intentional effort to hide and destroy government documents. It's a crime and all should be prosecuted.

I’m so fucking pissed that I already go into a classroom thinking “what do I do if there’s a mass shooter” and now I gotta add “what do I do if armed agents of the state come to drag away a student?”

Trump just signed an executive order banning vote by mail and ordering the defunding of any state that does not follow through with it as well as engage in massive voter roll purges.

There won't be free and fair elections ever again. If you're waiting for 2026, it's already too late.

@aoc.bsky.social asked recently what we would like to see our representatives do at the speech last night.

She refused to attend, which is a start. More democrats need to actually DO something.

Here is my suggestion.
So the little signs from Democrats were a joke.

Want something to show? Have every democrat stand up one by one when the next all hands kiss the ring bullshit starts and turn their backs.

Why? Lemme explain.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

It was great to join @uaw4121.bsky.social at UW today to fight back against NIH cuts.

Groundbreaking research that could lead to lifesaving cures will be lost if these cuts go into effect. This will hurt EVERYONE, in blue districts and red — and we’ll keep standing up to protect health care.
