The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long but it boils down to this one simple fact:

Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people.

It's Robin Hood in reverse.

When the open letter from univ prez against Trump over-reach was released on Tues morning, it had 180 signers. By Tues evening, over 270.

Through the day Wed (yesterday) it went into mid-300s.

This morning, Thurs, starts at more than 400.

This is significant. (Point of my post.)

For American higher ed, an "I am Spartacus" moment.

By me.

From Academia, a ‘Primal Scream.’

Watch in real time, as American higher ed goes on offense to defend itself.

At one point a long time ago, I had mock liver made by @magistracohen.bsky.social
I still have the hastily scribbled, vague recipe. I made it for our seders this year. Absolutely a smashing success! Can't believe I waited so long to make it. Thank you!

my actual unironic advice to undergrads is to major in something you're actually passionate about/interested in, and then try and *minor* in either CS or stats. you would be surprised how how much being the person who knows a substantive thing and can do some basic computer/stats stuff can pay off

i gave a talk last night and one of the points i made is that in addition to articulating a real defense of the Constitution, the opposition to Trump needs an actual constitutional vision that it can connect to a set of material policies.

I am a Jewish scholar of the NT. I am a contributor to this volume twice over and I am proud of my contributions and of the work my colleagues are doing to address the blatant & latent antisemitism in the NT through this volume & elsewhere.

once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!
