"Peace is not merely the absence of some negative force—war, tension, confusion, but it is the presence of some positive force—justice, goodwill, the power of the kingdom of God." MLK 1956 What kind of peace are we seeking on campuses?
In my experience, there are more people capable of any given role than people in that role. I don't believe meritocracy's message that leaders are the best people. Opening leadership to the systemically excluded need not diminish outcomes. If anything, it opens new possibility.
This is literally an argument that the people of Alabama can (and did) enshrine their narrow version of Christianity in the state constitution, requiring judges to bow to theology. This should be struck down on 1st Amendment grounds.

Republicans sometimes talk about the "tyranny of the majority." One purpose of a Constitution is to defend democracy from just that — to put in place guardrails to protect *ongoing* democracy, so "the people" can change their minds. The 14th Amendment is one such guardrail.
I'm old enough to remember conservatives lecturing us about immoral leaders being unable to lead us well. Now they support a man who openly mocks a former prisoner of war for the injuries he sustained during torture. This is not a moral leader.
Du Bois had the best answer for "What was the Civil War about?" in 1928: "People do not go to war for abstract theories of government. They fight for property and privilege and that was what Virginia fought for in the Civil War." #Haley
Once more from the rafters: The point of democracy is that everyone who is beholden to the government should get a say in the government — whether you think they will make the right decisions or not!

Everyone should think long and hard about John Brown. Was his violence justified? What does that say about other political violence? Where are our moral boundaries? Also, everyone should read Du Bois. Always.

5K Followers 5K Following Host of @famprocs. Creator of @AntiRacistJazz. Lover of books, music, and the Utah Jazz.We made it official: I’ll be on the ballot in November as the Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor! I’m so excited about this new opportunity to serve the people of Utah, and I’m ready to get to work.
People who are like “but you wouldn’t be comfortable with students who are white supremacists” Comfortable? No. Are we expected to tolerate and teach them just like we would any other student? Yes. And trust, we faculty of color have stories about having to do exactly that.
The four saddest words in the English language: "I don't read fiction."
Can we...just accept that we suck at this? I want to tell you a story that has made me kinda hopeless about Twitter's ability to affect positive things happening, and it starts with this tweet from Hillary Clinton. x.com/hillaryclinton…
What's at stake for our climate in this November's elections? Absolutely everything. carbonbrief.org/analysis-trump…
With the exception of grading, my time as a professor is over. I could say a lot, but my concern for AI takes precedence. Stop allowing it. Stop it. It's going to ruin lives. It's going to take jobs, including yours. Most importantly, it's forming uninteresting people.
i saw a braid dead tiktok take: that shrek never really loved fiona after she turned into an ogre. LIES.
We might as well cite her...
WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet. This video provided to us by an #Emory PHD student. You can hear him in this video. @ATLNewsFirst
The majority of white Freedom Riders were college students who came from solidly middle-class backgrounds. Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, who along with James Chaney were lynched by Klansmen, were both middle class Jewish New Yorkers w/ no relations to the South
One of the UT Austin girls arrested today... Seriously, what does a white woman from presumably some rich ass suburb in Texas or outside have ANYTHING to do with Israel or Palestine You paid thousands of dollars in tuition fees and end up with an arrest record Unbelievable
There should have been a full-court press from the White House, Senate Dems, & House Dems over the past year calling for Thomas to stand down, and insisting at a minimum he recuse himself from all Trump cases. Oh, and Senate Dems should have forced him to appear at committee.
Thomas’ persistent refusal to recuse on matters before the court involving his wife & their personal self-interests is disturbing. It further erodes public confidence & trust not just in SCOTUS, but our democracy. He knows no one will hold him accountable. cnn.com/2024/04/25/pol…
so someone is publishing a book about protest and state repression and they will be using this for the cover, yes?
.@AWeissmann_ .@ProfMMurray Is there a more-consequential question If our nation “bears the surface trappings of legal institutions but without actual checks on the executive branch” then have we “been transformed into a Potemkin village of democracy”? nytimes.com/2024/04/24/opi…

On this day, we should remember the hundreds of enslaved men, women, & children that Thomas Jefferson owned; the children that he both fathered and enslaved; and the enslaved people who built UVA, the university he founded.
Today, we celebrate Founder’s Day, marking the 281st anniversary of Thomas Jefferson’s birth on April 13, 1743. Jefferson, who authored the Declaration of Independence and was the nation’s third president, founded UVA in 1819. Full itinerary of events: bit.ly/3Uelnjv
