The best analysis of the Vandy report yet by @grundrza. Shows with receipts how subpar an analysis it is, sans evidence, & that it is yet another ideological rant masquerading as nonideological in the name of objectivity

Another excellent critique. “The committee makes a breathtakingly broad claim of left-wing bias overwhelming and totally controlling academia. It offers one anecdote… And that anecdote directly contradicts its claims.”insidehighered.com/opinion/c…

So Trump is ordering the FBI and the National Guard to DC. May I remind you the same guy refused to do anything on January 6th 2021 against the violent Capitol Hill insurrectionists even when Congressmen from his own party were begging him? nytimes.com/live/2025/08/11/…

I don’t think they’re really “protesting” here. I’d call it engaging in direct action; which is a lot more powerful…
BREAKING: Protesters have surrounded the federal detention center in Los Angeles. California isn’t backing down, this is a full-blown standoff with the feds.

During the Cold War, US allies used to deny the disappearances — the uncertainty was part of the terror. Now they just straight-up say they have a right to kidnap innocent people.

There’s a reason why my people banned you from our homelands. That is our homeland security against settler fascists like you.
I toured the CECOT, El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center. President Trump and I have a clear message to criminal illegal aliens: LEAVE NOW.   If you do not leave, we will hunt you down, arrest you, and you could end up in this El Salvadorian prison.

It's simply untrue that, compared to 2017 mass resistance, we are seeing mass quiescence. February '25 saw 2x as many protests as Feb '17. This data doesn't include Bernie 'fighting oligarchy' huge rallies, or the disruptions at GOP & Dem town halls. But there are differences 1/3

"As anthropologists, we are witnessing a doubling down on the discipline’s classical roots where a Palestinian woman can only occupy the savage slot–she can only speak as an object of research, through the colonizer’s narrative of her–not as a producer of knowledge"
Sarah Lawrence alum anthropologist Sarah Ihmoud's talk cancelled by Zionists at Stanford: "Teaching as a form of liberation is stronger than our academic institutions of higher education that insist on embodying hatred. I refuse to disappear as a Palestinian woman, as a scholar, and as an educator." americananthropologist.org/o…

The next targets are feminist studies, Black studies, ethnic studies. People cheering for government interference in higher education, unis that stepped on the 1st amendment & student protest, "radical" professors who remained silent: your actions made everyone more vulnerable
