To my surprise, my book is on sale for just $3.99 on Kindle!
With big endowments under fire and elite universities fighting for their lives, the book tells part of the story for how we got here.

Pam Bondi randomly accuses Rep. Becca Balint of being anti-semitic because of some random vote about Israel. @RepBeccaB is Jewish and her grandfather died in the Holocaust.

"Shadow student debts" is a much better term for what we've normally called institutional student debts or sundry debts. Nice contribution.

Has this guy been under a rock for the last 20 years?

How about the following? The United States helps Israel finish the job with some B-2s and some GBU-57s. Israel ends the Gaza war in exchange for the return of the hostages, a commitment for a new civilian government in Gaza, and reconstruction overseen and funded by the Saudis and the Gulf States who monitor and guarantee security with oversight from the U.S. to ensure no more tunnels and no more terrorists. Gaza becomes a beautiful place to live and work. There are real benefits to planning and building a new territory with new cities from a blank sheet of paper using modern technology, energy resources, and modern approaches to design and sustainability. The Abraham Accords expand to include Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Middle East. An economic boom emerges in the Middle East. @realDonaldTrump gets the Nobel Peace Prize for restoring peace and security in the Middle East.

@lwoodhouse I think there’s a political opening for centrists promising to fight both Dem and Trump corruption. But it’s impossible to move into that lane when you’re bought and paid for by Wall Street.

I'll be on @KPFAradio 94.1 FM tomorrow morning at 7:30 am to talk with @UpFront & @bedwardstiek about how Harvard decided to reject Trump's demands... and what it means for how to defend everyone's freedom and health.
I'll also talk about my new Substack: charlieeatonphd.substack.com

Harvard's revolt suggests broader elite opposition to Trump's authoritarian push. Harvard, MIT, and Stanford are unlikely to have declared their resistance without the consent of their boards of trustees, which are dominated by Wall Street alumni. charlieeatonphd.substack.com/p/behind-harva…

Endowments can’t fund everything that is threatened forever – especially at less wealthy universities. But they can buy time. Time for universities to develop a political strategy to defend themselves and allies from Trump’s assault on civil society. charlieeatonphd.substack.com/p/are-universi…

I just launched a substack, Progressive Disclosure, to build on today's NYT essay about how wealthy universities can afford to fight Trump. I'm moving away from social media to this as a long form way to stay connected with you all. You can subscribe here: charlieeatonphd.substack.com/about
