Also bring back manners. I don’t know why we let them rename it as being politically correct but it’s manners. calling people the name they want to be called? manners. Minding your own business? manners. Not accosting strangers in the bathroom demanding they show you their privates? Manners.
Pluralism and higher ed don’t require all views- no centers for anti-capitalist thought for example. I’m not sure where the exclusion/inclusion rule is, but it starts somewhere with viewing some people as inherently less than yourself no matter what they do.
Another day, another ICE arrest in a nearby courthouse.
If you are in Massachusetts, please call your state senator this week and urge them to pass the PROTECT Act. One thing it will do is limit ICE's ability to operate in courthouses. LUCE has more information as well as email/call scripts.
If he was really sorry, he would start by making amends and being honest about his role in GWOT. If you find yourself thinking he’s changed, listen to the knowledge fight podcast episodes on him; he’s still the same, he is motivated by his prejudice, and to top it off, believes he fought a demon

Oh Tiffany books would be great then if you read together especially. Biggest thing will be if they sits through chapter books. We read the Minecraft by Max Brooks - also really good- together, and then tried Pratchett (I also do a terrible Scottish accent for the wee Free men which I think helps)
I love me a sassy footnote, so either will work! But yes, I love not remembering what is in papers I wrote. Brains are weird.
The problem now is, has anyone who’s dealt with kids will tell you, you have to carry out your threats or no one will listen to them in the future. 2 other problems here: to get headlines he has to go bigger, but also people will overlook any war crime short of the threat as him pulling back.
If they’re around 10, the Tiffany Aching books are good. My kiddo loves the Wee Free Men and we’re currently reading Maurice and the Amazing Rodents and he loves it!
Also, please tell me there’s a footnote saying where it came from.
Oh this is awesome. I have a student interested in colorism and perception so I’ll have to send this to them.
They probably aren’t thinking about it at all tbh. Yarvin might have, but most never actually follow the logic to the end bc then they have to answer where the undesirables go or realize there’s a bunch of how historical examples of why officers detesting the soldiers they lead can go wrong.
I really wished there was more talk about how “just quitting” doesn’t work when in some places the options are dollar tree or the prison. That said, if you’re a high earner with connections or a fed in ICE/HSI that could walk into a local LEO job tomorrow and you’re sticking around… yeah.
I’m not clear if you are saying this is good or bad. I’m fully on team expecting a normal distribution in grading is nonsense and forcing one is dumb, but I’m also seeing amazing student work or … nothing. I have a few C’s but most of the bad grades are simply students not turning in work.
I don’t know how big the audience is for this but I’m definitely in it.
Also they keep supporting policies that make it hard for anyone that’s not white, straight, male, and Christian to serve (or want to serve) so uh, good luck creating esprit de corp in your universal military with no DEI.
The semi-joke that soldiers go to war & US goes to the mall is true and it does cause issues, but coming from a techno fascist that sat out GWOT? He had 20 years to help bear the cost. Where was he? Why now, when he’s too old for it to apply? Bet they could have used you in Fallujah bud.
So they don’t want to extend hiring out to non-ivies and non flagship state schools? that’s pretty snobby of them. I mean personally, I like it when they try to get as many people as possible and the hiring pool so I know the person they’re hiring really is the best but to each their own.
The scream I just scrumpt.
I don’t know where this is, but may I suggest what the name really needs is a “Full Government Name” Memorial Microwave Room. Bonus points if the person memorialized is still alive.
Extra bonus if they still work there.
Pretty sure the Amtrak would pass by Yale and it is incredibly tempting to go and heckle everyone involved. Because what school is putting this on again?
Meanwhile at the 4-4s…
Everything they have done has been worse than the original, or no replacement at all (where’s their replacement ACA)? It’s the reverse of Dems and National Security where there’s no organizing principle, no plan, just vibes.
If the Dems want to talk about the price of eggs, why not point out that we’re ending up with basically the JCPOA deal but after losing billions of dollars and thousands of deaths? Same with NAFTA or TPP (minus deaths)? Trump did this bc he was jealous and the GOP let him bc they don’t care.
Where’s he from again? (And yes, the Rs had some no votes and it would die in the senate, but still. What state?)
as of today it's been a *full year* since Judge Boasberg found probable cause to hold the Trump admin in criminal contempt for secretly (and, yknow, illegally) sending people to be imprisoned in El Salvador
and the DC Circuit is STILL blocking the investigation

UCS just released a very nice and concise guide for how to stay safe in the public eye -- for scholars and researchers, but also for anyone else concerned about safety during autocratization:

I sent out an announcement BCC and the person that replied to it had to add all of the list of addresses back in to reply all.
Judge Millwood wrote in her ruling that she believed that Mr. Ross’s younger son, Tony Ross, who she said was a retired Alabama state trooper now working at a federal courthouse in Anniston, had used his position as a government employee to have Ms. Ross-Mahé arrested. The son testified in probate court that he had not asked co-workers to have Ms. Ross-Mahé arrested. But, Judge Millwood wrote, law enforcement officers told Tony Ross a day before Ms. Ross-Mahé’s arrest that she would be detained, and he also received a text confirming the arrest less than an hour after it happened. Two hours after her arrest, the judge wrote, Mr. Ross’s other son, Gary, went to their father’s house and changed the locks.
The sons say they were not involved in their mother-in-laws arrest by ICE, but the Judge clearly does not believe them. They had advance notice of the arrest, and then locked her out of her home. Previously they had changed her mail forwaring, so she missed immigration mail.
Once again, the faculty listserv remains undefeated for being the absolute worst.
