university admins cannot be counted on. universities have become neoliberal risk management organizations. it’s extremely depressing. but this writing’s been on the wall a lonnnng time.
It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.”
University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

Trump’s tariff threat is an opportunity to imagine a radically new approach to Canadian national development that will allow us to disentangle ourselves from the decaying American empire and chart a meaningful course towards climate justice.
To respond to Trump’s tariffs, Canada should nationalize its oil industry
There is no doubt that Trump’s tariff threats pose a very real problem for Canada. The US accounts for almost two-thirds of Canadian trade volumes, and virtually all of Canada’s oil exports go south. ...

Holy f*ck! Just days after his Nazi salute seen around the world, Elon Musk is speaking at an AfD rally about “German pride”, warning against “multicultural delusion”, and telling them not to feel guilty about the “sins of their great grandparents”.

The US wants Greenland for the same reason it’s burning families alive in Gaza: to control, extract, exploit and dominate. This is plain old US imperialism, nothing more, and anything that bolsters the US Empire is and always will be a huge net loss for humanity.

no shit. the fact anyone thinks a prime minister or president can lower the price of groceries in the first place is so depressing
Trump is backtracking on a major campaign promise, stating in a recent interview that he cannot guarantee that he will be able to drive down grocery prices after all. “It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard.”
Trump Now Says He Can’t Promise He’ll Be Able to Lower Grocery Prices
“Groceries, cars, everything — We’re going to get the prices down,” Trump promised in the fall.

there should be warrants out for members of the US government too.
Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, currently wanted by the ICC for war crimes, met at the White House with Brett McGurk, the U.S. President’s Special Envoy to the Middle East. As Israel commits genocide in Gaza and invades Syria this meeting exemplifies U.S. hypocrisy.
