GOP strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the rich & corporations, claiming they'll pay for themselves
2) Explode the deficit
3) Use the debt & deficit as an excuse to demand cuts to programs that millions rely on
4) Repeat
They're trying to get away with it again. We can't let them.

Some thoughts on the plan to give assistant professors another year on the tenure clock due to COVID-19. I think that's an inequitable solution. A better approach honors the hard, unexpected work tenure-track faculty have done in difficult circumstances. https://t.co/yuV7tSQuoI
we don't talk enough about how batsh t bonkers it is that a conference who determined it was unsafe to play football has had more calls for explanation than the conferences making riskier decisions.
Women who have experienced sexual harassment have described its professional repercussions — skipped conferences, spurned research opportunities, fractured personal networks. (From the archives) https://t.co/7JuJraH2gs
The lack of academic discussion on here re: the cont’d brutal exploitation of athletes’ bodies whose teams have returned to practice & are getting sick - and these are primarily Black athletes, mind you - beyond sport, race, health scholars is something ELSE.
Yeah, I’m PO’d.
Just so we're clear, white people, firing Aunt Jemima & giving us Juneteenth off are not the frontlines of defeating white supremacy & dismantling structural & instutional racism. Better schools, a just criminal justice system, access to healthcare was more what we were thinking.
Cops are letting everyone know exactly who they are...Bystanders plead with Georgia officers as they hold 5 black children at gunpoint https://t.co/Zsgyu8PWsH
“Instead, many of the statements released by college leaders about the killing of George Floyd reflect an unholy alchemy of risk management, legal liability, brand management, and trustee anxiety.”
What does it mean when an ice-cream company can come up with a clearer message against injustice than a university? ask Jason England and Richard Purcell. https://t.co/Dnl6OB4gj5
GOOGLE - Benjamin Tilman - Played big part in founding of Clemson university. On the floor of the U.S. Senate, he defended lynching, and frequently ridiculed black Americans in his speeches, boasting of having helped kill them. But buildings are named after him on Campus.
White colleagues: As you’re reading the experiences of Black academics through #BlackintheIvory and #beingapsychologistwhileblack recognize that what you’re reading is happening everywhere, even if Black colleagues in your department don’t post about it. Some can’t.
In response to recent protests, many college presidents have put out statements acknowledging racism in American society — but not within higher ed itself. https://t.co/DJGnBD8CaP
