Utterly. Public k-12 education has been sliced and diced and stripped for spare parts in Texas and now the national scene has made it hugely difficult to see a way forward on the path I envisioned initially.

There’s still critical work I can do in adjacent or also-meaningful fields but, DAMN 🤪😫

So has anyone else had to rethink their career as a result of this administration?

#nokings rally I went to in Extremely Normie Chicago suburb was easily triple the size of earlier one. TRIPLE. & that was much bigger than I thought it would be. Previous one, occasionally cars would beep, this time every single car was leaning on the horn the whole time. Encouraging cacophony. 👊🏻💚
A large group of protesters at a no Kings rally in suburban Chicago A sign at a no Kings rally in suburban Chicago. It reads are we great yet cause I just feel embarrassed. A sign at a no Kings rally in suburban Chicago. It says, borders are make-believe & where you’re born is luck. A sign at a no Kings rally in suburban Chicago. Says free balls for the members Congress who have lost theirs.

every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

I know folks have been litigating the value of these protests all week, and I would remind those who have been eyerolling that one VERY important part of mass dissent is making it impossible to round up all the dissenters.

They see the crowds and have to reevaluate gulag plans

You know the mass protests work because Team Trump has been freaking out about them

DARTMOUTH OUT!

We are at 6 rejections. Vanderbilt is the only private left standing "considering" the compact along with UT Austin and the University of Arizona.

Dartmouth is OUT! Thank goodness... a friend at U of A and I have been playing "Who will be the last of the 9 standing?" and it's not gonna be us!
Dear Secretary McMahon, Ms. Mailman, and Mr. Haley, I appreciated the opportunity to speak with you yesterday. I welcome further engagement around how we can (a) enhance the long-standing partnership between the federal government and this country's leading research universities and (b) ensure that higher education stays focused on academic excellence. As I shared on the call, I do not believe that the involvement of the government through a compact--whether it is a Republican- or Democratic-led White House- is the right way to focus America's leading colleges and universities on their teaching and research mission. Our universities have a responsibility to set our own academic and institutional policies, guided by our mission and values, our commitment to free expression, and our obligations under the law. Staying true to this responsibility is what will help American higher education build bipartisan public trust and continue to uphold its place as the envy of the world. We remain open to other ways to work with the federal government to enhance higher education. Best, Sian Leah Beilock President

The White House and other government entities are joining Bluesky as I type. That will bring a new group to bsky that many have not dealt w before. Don't engage, just block their asses. Give them no oxygen, starve them out.

Please support an O.G. Black antifascist being targeted by nazis and their ilk. Daryle Lamont Jenkins is an amazing guy and he's been fighting fascism for decades.

Stick figure says “ahem, I’m—“ One stick dude in the huddle does a big thumbs up with a face like 😐 The lone stick figure is like 🥺 A stick dude in the group huddle says “can the Mariners pull this off?”

Friends, if you haven’t been to a normie protest before, please don’t let some nutters on the internet worry you that you’re going to be tear gassed and beaten, it will be fine. By all means be reasonably cautious, but this is not a black bloc event okay? It’s fine.

btw: the point of the trump admin joining bluesky is to make you afraid, worried, and anxious

all this data was already public. nothing is actually different in that regard. keep having fun. don't be dumb. block & move on.

cis folks, raise your vigilance level for trans people as assholes show up.

They are arriving because of the mass mobilizations and they have figured out that Twitter isn't going to be the main space to monitor activity.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god
The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."
