I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Watch these incredible moments from Senator @coreybooker.com’s filibuster speech. His filibuster was record breaking 25 hours & 4 minutes. He edged past the previous high mark set by South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond, who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957 for 24 hours & 18 minutes.

For the first time in my very privileged life, I am feeling the urge to think carefully about what I post about politics. Will it impact my ability to enter a foreign country? Go to a conference? Do some projects? Get funding? This is how freedom dies #academicsky

This is the kind of moral courage we need more of. PS Please please, if you can actively squirrel away some money every month (as much as you can), it may make a difference if one day you face a similar choice. Courage is a lot easier if you can feed yourself/loved ones after exercising it.

Accreditation is a pain in the ass anyway. And it looses all of its power if top schools refuse to be accredited. #BoycottAACSB @academic-chatter.bsky.social

Dr Kevin D. Tennent@kevindtennent.bsky.social

The AACSB, which is a global business school accrediting body, has: 'removed or rephrased the terms "diversity" and "inclusion" and their derivatives' from its standards while claiming it is still committed to diversity, equality and inclusion. #business #management www.aacsb.edu/educators/ac...

Chest feeding now = human generating milk from my nipples? This is disgusting, particularly as it is being used as strategy to placate the sexist and homophobic base and distract them from the fact that this administration is also not serving their intetests.

As both a researcher and an “individual of a feminine persuasion,” I cogitated seriously on a joke about how word-count limits in conference submissions need to change… but I’m too freaked out to have a sense of humor this morning.
