Well, there are also examples of faculty going against, like no-confidencing their president, or, as recently happened at Northwestern, voting 595-4 against capitulating to Trump, which the admin did anyway.
The faculty is not the enemy here.

The silver lining here, if there is one, is that people outside of academia are finally finding out the rot that is hiding in upper administrations, behind all of the beleaguered and underpaid profs and GAs who are busting their asses for critical thinking and against fascism

I know I’m preaching to the choir, but I just want to point out (again) that absolutely zero Republican men would “trust [Kamala Harris’] natural reaction” because she’s a woman.
Women’s “natural reactions”: emotional, untrustworthy
Men’s: presumed logical even in the face of direct evidence

Why is “The” in italics? Why is it also a different size (& vertically centered)? Why does it have to cross a river to get to the words “White House”?
Clearly they chose that type bc they liked how “WHITE HOUSE” looked & it never occurred to them that maybe they’d need to use some lowercase letters

Society has devalued both intellectualism & daily intellectual work. We no longer require it of students, of each other, or of ourselves. We don’t count change, follow directions, or read maps. In fact, we actively create things that help us avoid these tasks.
Tech is a crutch. Stop using it.

YES. I wish this were a more widely understood concept. Systems don’t just *support* racism, misogyny, violence, etc. — they actively *produce* those things, by design or by permission.

I suspect that that association was present at some subconscious level in Trump’s Swiss cheese brain and that’s why he chose that word.
I don’t think he has the wits to do it consciously, but I’m sure it was in there subconsciously.
