Stand Together

Please, please, please report on this ongoing Texas A&M censorship, Mr. Hayes. Many of us in higher ed are fighting to defend academic freedom and free inquiry. (Thank you for your show and podcast--essential viewing and listening for me.) www.standtogetherhighered.org

OK, Bluesky academics: what can we do to expose and push back against this Orwellian effort to control the freedom to learn and to teach? Seriously. What Texas A&M is doing matters for all of us and all of our students and all in our society.

Judge Orders Trump Not to Threaten University of California’s Funding

"This represents saving higher education, saving public research and the standing up of faculty, staff and students,"

— Veena Dubal, AAUP General Counsel & law professor at the University of California, Irvine.

Jamelle Bouie always writes from a pro-democracy position. If only the NYT as a whole would begin a Democracy Desk to do this, too: track and make visible how the consolidation of authoritarian power in US is happening. What news outlets do you think are doing this well?

❤️ this! You’ve met confidence intervals before — in polls:
“Candidate A 52% ± 3%.”
That ± 3% is the ring: we’re 95% sure the real number’s somewhere inside it.
Polls dance round and suppose.
The truth sits in the middle and declines comment.

Robert Frost was certainly more familiar with iambic pentameter
than he was with estimated parameters, but in 1942 he wrote a couplet that sounds very much like a poet's perception of a confidence interval: #statistics #statssky #academicsky

Meet our new scholar-mentor pair: Laurie & Michael!

🙌 Yes, this. The people, the lives, the health of our planet, the pursuit of just and fair outcomes and human rights and a better world. Legal storytelling helps us understand what is and imagine a better way. ❤️

The Pentagon press gears up for a fight. “None of us are signing this pledge,” said one reporter.

"It’s not the journalists’ burden to keep the government’s secrets for it," @seth-stern.bsky.social told @columjournreview.bsky.social. "That is the opposite of the press’s job, which is to tell the public what the government doesn’t want the public told."
