As always, not a lawyer, but one thing that leaps out at me about how things are going down in the courts right now is that the US court system is not designed to be responsive to a crisis like this one. A crisis like this one is not what it's FOR.

He'll destroy them anyway. Amazing how foolish leaders with multi-million-$ salaries can be.
Wesleyan University pres Michael Roth is one of the only academic leaders in the US who understands what capitulation will mean; no coincidence that he's an historian.

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism.
As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

I admire Dr. Snyder and use his work in a talk I'm giving tomorrow. But I sincerely wish people on the left would stop using "affirmative action" or "DEI" as metaphors for unearned. This helps the bad guys by reinforcing an association between ameliorative policy and a supposed lack of merit.
Current American foreign policy is about draining power from the US and its allies, thereby creating atmospherics in which Donald Trump feels good and Elon Musk converts lost state capacity into personal profit. The weakness, in other words, is the point.

A quick reminder: don’t ever go to (junior) WOC scholars asking them to do you last min favors. we already do enough emotional & intellectual labors in white academia. plus, we ain’t here for your charity opportunities or for your last resort. Like, just don’t fucking ever do it

Some higher ed organizations who are loudly circling the wagons against federal funding cuts were oddly silent or circumspect about the earlier attacks on CRT and DEI.
I wish there was a better understanding that these attacks are coming because we failed to repel those.

If someone follows you and you don't get a good vibe from their profile, do not feel bad blocking them. You don't owe anyone a follow or easy access to you.
