I have to tell you what really happened to the plums...

Elise New seems to have offered them to Woody Allen in exchange for his involvement with her edX MOOC.

"This could take down Democrats, too."

This isn’t about left vs. right.

This is about fighting back vs. losing.

The regime’s threats are too real and the stakes are too high to settle for the feckless, loser version of the Democratic Party we saw this week. In this moment when fascists are on the march, we need leadership with a spine.
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

WashU in STL just announced, in a university-wide email, that we will NOT be signing The Compact.

This statement, I believe, exists thanks to the tremendous energy generated w/in our community by, among others, the Faculty Senate, the revived AAUP, and student journalists. I'm proud of everybody.

Fanboying a bit for my state rep Rick Krajewski, who just gave a powerful call to arms at our AAUP teach-in today. Couldn’t be happier to have such a true progressive representing me.
