The New School was founded by Columbia University professors who wanted a university run by the faculty with minimal administration. For over 100 years it has been a unique institution with progressive values and incredible students and faculty from Ai Weiwei to Hannah Arendt. We are devastated.
Last week, the New School issued voluntary separation & early retirement offers to 40% of the full-time faculty & the majority of non-union staff. These cuts to the bone are an ideological attempt to decimate historic spaces of critical inquiry & social justice. Share our statement tr.ee/qQBIDCpIuj

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

I just listened to one of the greatest Knowledge Fight episodes where Alex Jones is facing an existential dilemma concerning Donald Trump clearly articulated throughout his whole broadcast. Jones is trapped and looking for a way out. His last guest? Roger Stone. This guy reminds me of him.

Thinking about how Summers and Epstein both frequently manipulated the media into giving or withholding coverage when they wanted and how the same media mysteriously decided to wage a scorched earth jihad against Harvard's President Claudine Gay. It's a strange coincidence to ponder!
Faculty discipline committees should really normalize de-tenuring/dismissal investigations for the sort of behavior described in the Summers case
A senior academic using mentoring as leverage to obtain sex is a contemptible abuser of power.

There's a big argument to be made that Trumpism is a revolt of America's hereditary elites who are apoplectic that the beginnings of a true meritocracy threatened to replace some of them.

I am seeing in my video scroll a lot of people mocking Trump's sexuality. These emails are having an effect and it was the Republicans on the Committee that dumped them. Things are getting weird.

Samia Suluhu Hassan ran all but unopposed in Tanzania’s presidential elections on 29 October. The only surprise came from the streets when protests broke out. Under the cover of an internet blockade, security forces met the protesters with force. Our readers recount what they saw.

Tanzania’s Election Day erupted into protest, an internet blackout, and bloodshed. When the internet was restored, 37 readers told us what really happened. These are their accounts.
