This is why I'm v v glad to not be working in the US right now.
This is a plan where the state seizes control of the universities including the private ones, imposes state-approved ideology, and dictates to them that their ultimate duty is to serve the interests of the state. This is freaking me out.

More and more it looks like PA mail in ballots for Dem voters have just disappeared.

Unmasked HCW: “Why are you masking? Are you sick?”
Me: “No and I’m trying to stay that way”
HCW: “Oh are you afraid of Covid? You’re not going to get Covid HERE”
Followed by a big scoff. I don’t get it. The hospital is literally the place I’m MOST likely to catch Covid.

Takes I have seen over and over:
* Damn Latinos and Muslims.
* Damn uneducated people.
* Damn sexists.
* Damn third-party voters.
* We went too far left.
* The election was stolen.
Takes I haven't seen:
* Maybe we should have pressured her to end genocide after all.

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.

It's been less than a day, and I've seen all of these (some multiple times) from the lesser evil side.
* Voters are too dumb
* Rural voters should be cut off from help by cities
* It's because Latinos hate Blacks
* Harris didn't support Israel aggressively enough

The one thing saving my sanity right now is that, unlike 2016, tomorrow I will face a roomful of students who are very far removed from the results of the US election. I'll be grieving for my home country, but not on their behalf this time. Just for myself.

I will die on this one: pay is the single largest gatekeeper we have in academia.
This crap isn’t viable.
It’s hurting people, and limiting the pool of talented folks that think it’s a good idea to do science or have the resources to do so.

A thread about what has actually worked for me (learned the hard way...) 🧵

I can't even do this funnily or sarcastically for social media
Here's what's happening:
1) We are cutting our first-year labs/seminars because we don't have funding for teaching assistants
2) Science departments are developing liberal arts courses to teach because Arts departments are getting gutted
We need a national conversation about the future of #HigherEd
Anyone who has ever mensturated while camping or traveling knows that for many people in Appalachia, this is currently a basic human dignity and sanitation concern. Out of touch idiots who think bodies are icky are the only one dismissing this.

Greta stopped being a media darling when she started connecting climate to capitalism. Now that she connects climate to colonialism and genocide, she has fallen outside the acceptable bounds of corporate media altogether.

We don’t talk enough about the illegal immigrants who got here in the 1600s and almost immediately started human trafficking
