I’m reading a bunch of work on autocracy and democratic backsliding. I’m struck that scholars in this tradition don’t get called “political” or “biased” despite their clear normative stance. Yet, race and gender scholars—who were the canaries in the coal mine for backsliding—do.

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.”

She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The academic article as diss track. Yes, absolutely!
I love all my friends saying things like, “I wish I could make a career off being petty and making diss tracks” after the halftime show, and I’m out here like, “Have you considered academia?”

Surely there's an "inspiring" and "ennobling" way to teach about the Tulsa massacre, the murder of Emmett Till, the Trail of Tears, the Chinese Exclusion Act, Japanese Internment, etc. Shouldn't be hard.

It's despicable the way Democrats are saying Trump firing the head of the FAA could have contributed to yesterday's tragic plane crash. But it's fair to ask if the crash might have been caused by DEI.
