I am extremely pleased to announced the publication of my latest article on PTSD, trauma-informed pedagogy, universal design for learning, and music. jmp.amsmusicology.org/trauma-infor...
Does anyone else with chronic disabilities and illnesses feel like they do not have the space to have any imperfections whatsoever?
Who has a subscription to the Economist and can get an article for me? Please?
LATEST: Don Lemon released by a federal judge after he was charged by the Trump administration with violating the freedom of religion of worshippers at a Minnesota church where he was covering a protest earlier this month.
Holy shit. So this just happened at Minneapolis's legendary First Avenue club. That's Tom Morello introducing Springsteen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jHe...
This part! Your cultural appropriation of the Holocaust is disgusting. @governorwalz.mn.gov
Is ANYONE submitting ANYTHING to AMS ‘26? It sucks because it’s the online one and we are all boycotting. #musicology #musicologytwitter #musicologybluesky
I just wrote a @socialists.nyc letter: Abolish ICE: Stop Terrorizing Our Cities. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/abol...
When I see people come late to the disability justice party… It’s like how I imagine Black folks feel when they see white people finally getting outraged over a police shooting. I was in the streets with BLM in 2014. I was yelling about disability justice in 2007. It took the rest of you until 2026?

The Black community has dealt with shootings, lynchings, and other violence since 1619. This is not new. What is new is that the fascism is growing in power and more groups are included in the terror. And it won’t end until we do something about it. Don’t think you’re safe and be complicit.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey speaks at a press conference
Mayor Jacob Frey: “There’s little I can say again that will make this situation better, but I do have a message for our community, for our city, and I have a message for ICE — To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis”
I wish more officials would abandon decorum when situations are truly egregious
Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda
A tenured professor who was briefly fired by Austin Peay State University in Tennessee in September for what the school’s president said was an insensitive social media post about the killing of Charlie Kirk will get a $500,000 settlement and his job back.
Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."
I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.
whichever candidate runs on prosecuting every single ice agent fuck to the fullest extent of the law has my vote
Really want to stick to your 2026 resolutions? Try “temptation bundling,” or coupling something you enjoy with something you might otherwise skip.
AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.
The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.
This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”
