“The American dream has always depended on the dialogue between the present and the past. In our architecture, as in all our other arts-indeed, as in our political and social culture as a whole-ours has been a struggle to formulate and sustain a usable past.” - Robert A. M. Stern

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

The unifying aim of all Trump pronouncements and actions is to trash the constitution and impose a white supremacist militarized autocracy by EO and truth social decree - the latest attack on naturalization and birthright citizenship is an ugly new escalation of that barbaric aim.

Living under authoritarianism can complicate expressions of gratitude. In oppressive environments, focusing on small acts of kindness can help individuals maintain hope and a sense of agency. By intentionally noticing what’s good, present, or possible, we expand our capacity to be well.

If higher ed survives this, let’s have a serious conversation about how the frame of academic freedom, while having its uses for defense against authoritarianism, needs to be interrogated for how it can conceal how reactionary politics and bad treatment of minority faculty are common in academia.
