And enraging times, too.
We are living at a time when university leadership amplifies anti-intellectual tropes and technologies
These are very troubling times

A long time ago, my department's administrator one explained to me why I might not be a good dept chair: "you're the same person in every situation."
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

Alan Dershowitz is an evil piece of shit.
To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

January 18th 1968. Eartha Kitt confronted President Lyndon B. Johnson and First Lady Bird Johnson about the Vietnam War at a White House luncheon. She went so hard about protecting the soldiers that First Lady ended up crying and they had the CIA start a file on her.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
