Geography prof. I play a bad guitar, but can make a pretty sweet lemon meringue pie.

MGT has seen her networth jump from $700k to $25 million since joining Congress in 2021. And she served juuust long enough to get a lifetime tax payer-funded pension.

She got the joke.

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

One reason I appreciate working at PSU Geography is thank you week where we write little notes thanking each other for the small things we do for each other to make a community. I hope you get to work with kind people too.

Just thinking again how Democrats asked people to accept short-term suffering in order to give space to prevent long-term, worse suffering and then said, "Thanks for suffering in the short-term. You'll get to suffer long-term too so that our Thanksgiving plans don't get disrupted."

A secretive organization named the Rockbridge Network has become one of the most influential forces in GOP politics — and it wants to make sure MAGA outlives President Trump.

Chris Buskirk put tech elites in power in Trump’s Washington. His efforts are grounded in a controversial theory — an ‘aristocracy’ is needed to move the country forward.

This is pretty wild. The head of Heritage basically said Nazi ideology is just another flavor of conservatism to be hashed out. Of Nick Fuentes he said:

"Cancelling him is not the answer... When we disagree with a person's thoughts and opinions, we challenge those ideas in debate."
Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts stands by Tucker Carlson after the former Fox News host release his controversial interview with Nick Fuentes.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

That U.S. academics didn't collectively develop strong labor consciousness is really going to bite them in the ass as universities bend the knee to this administration. Politely worded letters to presidents and trustees are not going to count for much of anything.

Since we’re on the topic of tearing down buildings, I got the author copies of my book (!!). Real in the world December 2

TL;DR: Detroiters have a lot to teach us about how material conditions reproduce white supremacy w/o racist people and policies. Tearing things down isn’t a clean slate
