All most lecturers want to do is have a group of bright students all read the same thing and then come together and discuss their thoughts on it.
English
Any 2028 Democratic candidate who doesn't have an answer for what to do about the Supreme Court should simply be ignored. Nothing else they say really matters.

People outside of academia sometimes find the concept of a department chair confusing. They are not your boss, manager, or CEO. They are more like an elected representative who negotiates with terrorists on your behalf.

Honestly, as much as I feel rage about this barbarous, immoral and illegal war that the US and Israel are waging against Iran, I am also mourning the loss and ruination of a deeply flawed, but also wondrously complex and capable United States, the only country I've really known.

This is what we need to see. Any Democratic incumbent who can’t speak out forcefully against the war should be primaried, defeated, and driven from public life.

Trump has launched an illegal regime change war. As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.

The solution to precarity in the academic job market is not to weaken tenure protections, nor to pretend that tenured professors are lazy, privileged, good-for-nothings; it is to expand the number of tenured positions. This should be obvious.

Democrats are doomed if we nominate a far-left candidate in 2028. Dive into the data with us. 👇

@erinrpineda yeah, the "hardest" of the hard sciences are really getting squeezed, particularly at non-elite schools. To admins, they are essentially the humanities of STEM.
English
@erinrpineda the strongest faculty solidarity at my university is now b/w those in "marginal" humanities departments and those in math/stats/physics. the former b/c they're 'too woke' and the latter b/c they're 'too hard'. Not a coalition I was expecting a few years ago, but here we are.

GUY: My car’s still not working.
MECHANIC: No one wants your car to work more than I do.
GUY: Well why didn’t you fix it then?
MECHANIC: Tell me what YOU’VE ever done to fix cars!
This is all so ridiculous.

NEW: People expecting fireworks at the NH Dems dinner got them, with a heckler going after Sen. Jeanne Shaheen for her shutdown vote and her firing right back. #NHPolitics

@mkraju The prohibitions on RIFs lasts for 2.5 months!

Nonsense. Trump’s position hasn’t changed, and absolutely no one is interested in moral victories.
Manu Raju@mkraju
Some Ds say Trump's new hardline against extending ACA subsidies prevents a real chance of reaching a bipartisan deal on that, so several are willing to settle for just a standalone vote in order to end shutdown — esp since they think they’ve won on it cnn.com/2025/11/09/pol…

@wideofthepost Bingo. You can’t pick a government funding fight over healthcare premiums, get nothing for that fight, provide the votes to reopen, and then still have the high ground on healthcare premiums!
English
Just to be clear here, DEMOCRATS are voting to jack up your healthcare premiums.
Manu Raju@mkraju
Dems will meet tonight to discuss. Will see if the caucus rebels against it and changes the trajectory of it. But as of now, several Senate D appropriators and moderates think they’ve got a good funding package and are winning the argument on health care, per sources

@DavidAstinWalsh I really struggle to see how, from the perspective of 2025, someone could possibly think that the 2010s Tea Party convulsions turned out to be a net negative for the GOP long term.
English
Because famously the Tea Party in 2010 fumbled the GOP recapturing the House majority.
Lakshya Jain@lxeagle17
This is the funniest possible way for this all to unfold. The Tea Party in 2010 had this exact dynamic. I very much doubt Mills is *34 points* down, but if Democrats decide to nominate morons because The Base is mad at The Establishment, they have a ~0% chance at a majority.

This is genuinely disgraceful. Sickening, actually.

One problem with this narrative is that Biden had dropped out and Harris was the candidate when Democrats denied a Palestinian American speaker the chance to speak—and endorse Harris—at the DNC
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan
“Harris says she pleaded with Biden to extend the empathy he expressed for Ukrainians to… Gaza but “he couldn't do it; while he could passionately state, 'I am a Zionist,' his remarks about innocent Palestinians came off as inadequate and forced.” ynetnews.com/article/sjje2d…

I love how Mike Pence just can't shake the George W. Bush cadence and mannerisms.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Mike Pence: "We gotta be careful about putting America on trial whenever we see evil overtake the heart of any individual. In this case, absent additional facts, there's one person responsible for Charlie Kirk's assassination."
