like, glass is a young man when the readjusters win office in virginia and go on a campaign of land and debt reform. this is significant because the readjusters represent to him twin and connected subversions: black over white, debtors over creditors

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 18d

there's been one book-length treatment of glass's life and career in this century and it does a poor job of situating glass in post-reconstruction virginia and makes no real attempt to synthesize the connection between his segregationist views and his crusade for financial reform

Some of the very best and most internationally renowned political scientists in Germany are at Cologne. This is a very real threat to a globally strong group.

Stefan Müller @stefanmueller.bsky.social · Sep 8

The University of Cologne plans drastic cuts to its Political Science department, potentially abolishing the MSc in Political Science and eliminating the professorships in IR and Comparative Politics. This would severely weaken the social sciences at @unicologne.bsky.social.

Trump admin planning to change student visas from lasting for duration of academic program to fixed 4-yr term, and then much harder to renew
Could destroy US ability to attract global talent, particularly those seeking advanced degrees in STEM. The median time to complete a PhD is 5.7 yrs per NSF.

Trump Deals A New Immigration Blow To International Students

Trump officials have proposed a new rule limiting international students to fixed periods of entry, making a U.S. education more precarious.
