NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next. I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great Timothy Snyder. 1/ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Weird to have a whole discourse about “special interest groups” that completely leaves out corporate and industry lobbies—by far the most influential “groups” in the Democratic Party.

If people want to talk about members of Congress being overly influenced by a special interest group pushing a wildly unpopular agenda that pushes voters away from Democrats then they should be discussing AIPAC

Twenty of the private white academies formed in NC during desegregation are now drawing state funds through vouchers—$20 million a year. And 83% of families receiving vouchers across the state are white. Hard to say vouchers are expanding access. propublica.org/article/segreg…

In 2022, AIPAC and DMFI spent more against progressives in Dem primaries than all the other right-wing interest groups *combined*. Saying it's antisemitic to call that out hurts Jews, because it's simply a fact. Instead, we need to talk about *why* this is happening. 🧵

As the AAUP concluded in our Report on Political Interference & Academic Freedom in Florida, this should serve as a cautionary tale to all in higher education. Being a bystander is no longer an option. #DefendHigherEd aaup.org/report/report-…

Coming up on NBC News NOW - The Texas education board has officially approved a new curriculum for schools that infuses Biblical lessons. Adoption will be optional for districts, but they will be incentivized with additional funds.

I will happily decline these funds. All money ain’t good money. I tried to tell y’all…the ones trying to do the real indoctrination work are the ones who have falsely accused educators for years about “indoctrinating” children. Their accusations are admissions.

Democratic societies need universities to check authoritarian impulses. Yet by backtracking on inclusionary commitments and crushing dissent, our most powerful universities have already enabled Trump to erode democratic norms. my latest The Emancipator theemancipator.org/2024/11/26/top…

One man’s liberty is another man’s school closure. West Virginia’s voucher program sent 10,000 students to private school last year. One school community lost $1 million. Now the state is closing 24 schools. the74million.org/article/west-v…

The AAUP condemns these arrests at New York University. They are part of a pattern of administrations responding to protests by imposing broadly chilling restrictions & sanctions on dissent. AAUP - NYU Chapter theguardian.com/us-news/2024/d…

In Alabama, the man frying chicken at KFC and the woman making beds at Holiday Inn could be a prisoner. The state earns millions leasing inmates to hundreds of companies, deeming them safe enough to work, but routinely denying them parole. apnews.com/article/prison…

To see a Star of David used in an act of vandalism on another religion's place of worship is among the deepest feelings of shame. In the name of Judaism, violent settlers are only doing immeasurable harm to Israeli democracy and Palestinian families.

The irony is unbearable As the world marked Holocaust Remembrance Day, law-abiding immigrants in Chicago were hiding in their attics, praying to avoid a knock on the door from government agents swarming outside It is happening here. My new column inquirer.com/columnists/att…

🧵: Attorneys for Mahmoud Khalil just filed an amended habeas corpus/complaint, and there's A LOT to unpack: The complaint asks for Mahmoud's release on bond. But his legal team may also have all pro-Palestinian activists in mind, protecting their rights. The Intercept

2000+ Jewish professors, staff, students circulating letter on Mahmoud Khalil's arrest: "We hold various views…But we are united in denouncing…anyone who invokes our name—and cynical claims of antisemitism—to harass, expel, arrest, or deport members of our campus communities."
