Students, don't go quietly into a life accepting injustice.Learn, look, listen, and think about what you stand for. Then, take a stand.For some it may be the last time you have the setting were you have this precious time to think about and act on your deepest values with friends
I think academics should go a very long way in defending the free expression of students' views and freedom of assembly.These are fundamental. When it comes, though, to efforts to deny rights or access or safety to their opponents that is entirely different & cannot be accepted.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott often seems to act as if the Confederacy won the civil war and states are free to ignore the Constitution's supremacy clause that's basic to our legal system thehill.com/homenews/state…
Netanyahu, who has long played politics in the U.S. now wants to tell universities how to handle protests. Read Bernie's views. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…
The U.S. Supreme Court majority in the executive immunity case continues to ignore common sense and the consequences of its decisions in pursuit of its own ideology.
Scott requests hearing on segregation prior to Brown v. Board 70th anniversary k12dive.com/news/scott-hea… via @K12DiveNews
Rep. Bobby Scott is right. The USA is falling short on the goal of Brown, just as research confirms the wisdom of hte decision. k12dive.com/news/scott-hea… via @K12DiveNews
So many of the things I most value about our flawed system of democracy have been so assailed by Donald Trump who has weaseled his way with lies, threats, money, power that it is quite wonderful to see him finally sitting before a jury that has power to actually enforce the law

While everyone is paying attention to protests in higher ed, you should know that 800,000 people took to the streets in Buenos Aires this week to fight Milei’s cuts to free public university education in Argentina: english.elpais.com/international/…
“what struck me most about those who are protesting is how long they waited. the restraint they showed. not the spontaneity, the restraint. they waited and waited for justice. and it didn’t come. no one talks about that...” - Toni Morrison
It seems like there are a LOT of Republicans who need to be reminded of this. Retweet if you agree!
@orfieldtweet @NormOrnstein Republican presidential candidates have won the popular vote once since 1990, and Republican presidents have picked 6 of the 9 current justices.
Molten hot take: I hate the new restaurant trend of QR code menus. Bring me a fucking menu. Aren’t we all supposed to be putting our phones down and interacting with one another?!
On the Mississippi River banks—not far from where an 80yr old freedmen stood in 1863 waiting to meet his 1st teacher—1,500 students, 90% of whom are students of color & mostly poor, are still waiting for a library in their school. They are far from alone. chalkbeat.org/detroit/2024/0…
To give you a visual, here’s the Sun’s graph of each year’s homicide total over time. Look at how there was no typical summer acceleration in homicides last year. Then look at the sharp drop over the last month or so
Baltimore is currently on pace for 180 homicides this year, which would be the lowest total since 1977 There have been 9 homicides reported in the last 30 days, 2 in the last week (1 of which was the guy on University Parkway who stabbed his roommate) Amazing if it lasts

Can we talk about the IRONY that campus sexual assault is dealt with through laborious internal processes, a surfeit of "due process," and overwhelming fear of Type I error, whereas peaceful protests apparently warrant immediate external policing?
I’ll say it again: those who oppose inheritance taxes imagine a Jeffersonian world in which everyone has a small amount of property. That’s not our world. The bottom 50 percent owns only 2 percent of the wealth. If you’re opposing inheritance taxes, you’re defending the rich.
Legislators pushing vouchers have not only subverted state constitutions but the people’s will: “73% of participants [nationally] said funds should go to public schools,” not private schools. Even a majority of higher income republicans oppose vouchers. 1/ edsurge.com/news/2024-04-2…
