people like Sabrina Carpenter saying essentially "decent people don't want the stench of ICE or this White House anywhere near them" to an audience of millions that includes a lot of young people helps empower them against ICE while reminding ICE agents that everyone hates them, both big wins
look deleting the post is obviously stopping the actual ICE raids but every single bit of pushback matters bsky.app/profile/airb...
Sabrina Carpenter made the White House delete their fuck ass tweet.

It's not really structural, either. I mean, we should ditch life tenure, but that's relatively small. Nine seats is fine in the abstract. It's less about any hugely necessary change to the Court itself, and more about how these individual justices are untenably disgraced and command no respect.

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

Thing I would've lost money on - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) is actually an 80's song (released in 1988). I would've absolutely bet that was 1990 or 1991.

Johan Rojas, who's struggled to stay in the Phillies lineup, would've hit .315 and won ten straight Gold Gloves at the Vet in the 80s.
The AL lineup has eight Hall of Famers and one, in Whitaker, who should be. Again, these are the best of the best. The fourth outfielder on 2/3 of most MLB teams today, while likely not a great player in '85, would be considered a specimen and would be among the top defensive players in the game.

btw, every "reasonable" person who's own posting stuff like "well, the prompt was unclear," or "she actually kind of did the assignment OK so maybe the TA overreacted"--you are also part of the problem! You're laundering the deliberate targeting of a TA and a blatant abrogation of academic freedom!
This thread is 💯. Labor precarity in academia means the evisceration of faculty governance and academic freedom, opening the door to administrative purges of the most vulnerable. And faculty-esp tenured faculty and academic leaders-who aren't defending their trans colleagues are enabling it.
So yeah, this is fundamentally about trans people and that cannot be elided, but the ways in which junior faculty are targeted and disposed of, while academic jobs are increasingly precarized, and political grandstanders seek to influence academic governance are fucking terrifying for everyone.

The worst thing to happen to academia was the emergence of a nomadic administrative class like the one in corporations who just move from institution to institution setting fires and walking away.
Say what you will about the flaws of faculty governance, but at least they believe in the mission.
