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.

“A land acknowledgment is not enough. The land exists regardless of settler acknowledgment, which can only ever be the first step toward meaningful action. Next steps involve building relationships with that land as if it were your kin. Because it is.” —Joseph M. Pierce
Your Land Acknowledgment Is Not Enough
Land acknowledgment without action is an empty gesture, exculpatory and self-serving.

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.

It’s incredibly easy to forget that, amid all the Trump administration’s attacks on democracy this year, there are ample reasons to be grateful — and even hopeful — as we begin to bring 2025 to a close. Here are six things keeping us grateful this year 🙌

IF 900-page Project 2025 mentions a law, govt agency or protective measure,
THEN the Christian White Nationalist overhaul either fully eliminates that law/agency/measure or redefines it to the point of being unrecognizable.

As foremost Project 2025 expert, I can confidently confirm: the Christian White Nationalist overhaul permanently dissolves and rewrites all law and govt mentioned.
The recent recategorization of “mandated reporters” of child abuse from what’s left of the Department of Education, is a recent example.
