I've always told students that they shouldn't feel like they can't go into the trades (plumbing, carpentry, pipefitting), but that they owe it to themselves to get a college education. College is not just about preparing workers, it's about joy in discovery. Everyone deserves that. #FreeCollege4All
Linda McMahon says some elementary school students should be put on a "pathway" to become plumbers
Wrote this report with my @prri.org immigration podmates @ekyleromero.bsky.social and @willmccorkle.bsky.social about how over 65% of Americans support TPS for Haitians. This administration exerts cruelty and calls it policy. Americans don't want it.
65% of Americans support granting asylum to Haitian families, revealing a significant disconnect between the recent Supreme Court ruling that allows the removal of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian migrants and general public sentiment. Read more in a new Spotlight Analysis:
My brilliant colleague Iván Chaar López 's tenure denial is not only a threat to UT faculty, but to all scholars who research topics considered "controversial." His case is a model for how to deny tenure with zero justifications to him or his colleagues. www.statesman.com/news/educati...
UT border surveillance scholar was a shoo-in for tenure. UT denied him.
American Studies scholar Iván Chaar López fears UT’s unexplained tenure denial violated his academic freedom amid scrutiny of controversial fields.

While Donald Trump spewed his delusions about voter fraud, his administration along with SCOTUS are trying to strip Americans of their right to vote. This has everything to do with Making America a White Republic Again. Most Americans aren't buying it.
In a new Spotlight Analysis, @drlmmurillo.bsky.social writes about the anti-immigrant rhetoric that the Trump administration is using to frame its argument for more restrictive voting laws, noting that these negative views are not shared by most Americans. Read more:
This is an important exchange between Congresswoman Tlaib and Russell Vought, the director of Office of Management and Budget. He's deciding what gets funded and what doesn't, often against the express laws passed by congress. He's also a Christian Nationalist. Tlaib called him feckless TO HIS FACE.
This is how to speak to every single one of those sycophants.
This DUDE! What love for humanity! ❤️
The beautiful game. The people’s game. Throughout this World Cup, we have been reminded of a simple truth: football belongs to everyone. So does the joy and community it creates. Yesterday, I joined New Yorkers on Rikers Island to watch England take on Argentina.
How humiliating that to rise in the ranks you have to kiss the ring of a charlatan, a buffoon, a sociopath. Tod Blanche, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, & RFK, Jr have no actual expertise or knowledge. It's their spinelessness, lack of dignity and morality that helped them climb the ladder.

Guerrero was not the target. Araujo was not the target. Fuck ICE. FUCK HOMELAND SECURITY. FUCK BORDER PATROL. Fuck them all for leaving Guerrero's tiny daughter to smell flowers while her father lay dying in the street. www.sunjournal.com/2026/07/13/i...

@nytimes.com YOU CAN'T SAY CORRUPTION? Listening to NYT The Daily discuss the billions of dollars this dumb man and his kids are making with OUR TAXPAYER dollars and NO ONE CAN SAY THIS IS CORRUPT? We could have healthcare and maternity leave, but instead these buffoons are padding their pockets.
So glad Rep. Kean was able to avail himself of government-funded healthcare and generous leave policies to take care of his health. I wish all Americans could have that.
RJ scholars knew this was coming because women have already been prosecuted. And it has nothing do to with controlling abortion, but everything to do with controlling women.
Read all the way through. Wild. But also very instructive on the way AI writing makes us feel. When we know "something isn't right." That embodied knowledge can't be replicated by artificial intelligence. They will try, though.
I'm attending a digital humanities event in Montreal. There was a keynote on AI and something about the talk made me wonder if it had been written by Claude. I said as much in the Q&A. As I posed the question, the speaker shifted, looking slightly uncomfortable. What he said next shocked the room +
Trump appeared at the Libertarian National Convention in 2024 in front of a sign that said this, it was the convention's theme
Feds just cited the phrase “we must become ungovernable” as evidence that Minnesota activists being charged are dangerous.

Last time the Knicks were NBA champions was the year the DOJ charged Fred & Donald Trump with housing discrimination based on race.
The American taxpayer is responsible for making Musk a trillionaire: without the billions in public funds that have repeatedly bailed out and kept afloat his multiple failing businesses, he'd be just another serial bankrupt. His fortune was built on OUR backs. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
A future Dem government should nationalize SpaceX and rip it away from Musk. He gets NOTHING in return and the US gets its NASA investment back.
I've been thinking about this so much in the last few weeks leading up to this massive IPO launch. He grifted billions from the government in tax right offs, and now he'll be stealing directly from our retirement. It's unconscionable that as a country we've let this happen.
It shouldn’t be controversial to say that the creation of a “trillionaire” represents a giant and complete failure of public policy and government.
Huge thanks to @msmagazine.com for their support as I told this story. The loss of women and gender studies programs and departments is a huge institutional blow, but we as scholars and students remain defiant. You can't erase our past, present, or future! msmagazine.com/2026/06/09/f...

Crazy how he couldn't make it to his son's wedding, but he could travel to NYC, to destroy everyone's good time, and then fall asleep.

Was it an accident? Or is the sh*t just overflowing at this point?
You guys, the White House accidentally ordered 10x the amount of Porta-Potties that they needed. The lawn is just acres of Porta-Potties. It’s all fenced off and you can’t see, but I took this photo through a hole in the fence netting.
Happy to in the @us.theconversation.com with my @prri.org immigration pod mates @willmccorkle.bsky.social and @ekyleromero.bsky.social discussing why Americans still believe public education should be a right for all children regardless of immigration status! theconversation.com/most-america...
Most Americans broadly support public education for undocumented students – regardless of their political affiliation and religion
Some states are trying to challenge a long-held precedent that undocumented children are allowed to attend public school free of charge.

These megalomaniacs could chose justice and give the money back to the hardworking billions they stole it from. Instead they mock us with their bullshit pet projects.
