This is how we know that the list of professions anger is breaking through. A big issue, that at least one person foresaw, is that it's not enough to consider a historical list of professions. You have to consider the professions that we have, currently, in 2025.
ED is feeling enough pressure about the graduate vs. professional program distinction that they put out a press release (correctly) stating that nursing was never technically classified as professional. This probably won't gain much traction with the general public.

We are not a serious country, at all.

I have been feeling depressed and discouraged that this man has the power and influence he does at my school and in my profession

And I am a tenured professor at Harvard! How much more protected can I be?

Imagine how STUDENTS feel. Junior faculty. This quote nails it

Donald Trump says he wants interest rates to come down – but he is refusing to release the data the Fed needs to do that.

Seems like he wants to hide bad jobs data.

And working families will keep paying the price.

It's been a whirlwind of a week w/ speaking engagements & workshops, but it was an absolute honor to return "home" (both literally & figuratively) and serve as one of the keynote speakers for Michigan State University's Student Symposium on Engaged Multilingual Pedagogy & Intersectionality (🧵1/2).

In 2019, Trump claimed he hadn’t spoken to Jeffrey Epstein in “15 years.”

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.
