Michael Kenney, aka “The Enemy Professor”
@mkenney.bsky.social
I study drugs, high-risk activism, and political violence. I support my students and my country. I reject 47’s efforts to turn our country into a competitive authoritarian regime.

The Trump administration’s onslaught against American universities was foreshadowed by @JDVance in his keynote address at the 2019 National Conservatism conference. He closes his speech by quoting Richard Nixon: “The professors are the enemy”

Sebastian Gorka may be great at licking Trump’s… boots, but he’s never been a serious student of terrorism

I was at a leadership meeting last week where deans and research administrators were bending over backwards to assure our Canadian government guests that it wasn’t going to be that bad when Trump returns to power. My outlook was darker, more ominous. I feel vindicated 🫤

@bsky.app comes of age, but you still can’t link a Times article directly to the platform 🤷‍♂️

If Trump cracks down on the “radical left,” as he has repeatedly promised to do, we may see pushback from antifascist and anarchist militants who consider violence under such circumstance to be a legitimate form of self-defense.

What might we expect from Trump 2 in terms of political violence in the US? Potentially more violence as the far-right becomes emboldened and the far-left galvanized. But much depends on the state response…

An incredible resource from the @washingtonpost.com: "These records provide an unprecedented look at the surge of legal pain pills that fueled the prescription opioid epidemic... It also sparked waves of an ongoing and raging opioid crisis first fueled by heroin and then illicit fentanyl"
