Yes everything is terrible but let’s not lose sight of the fact that someone has written the Headline to End All Headlines.

Therapy for whom? For the kids who won’t see themselves in the film? For bigoted parents who underestimate their kids’ ability to understand love?

Invalidating ID cards based on gender is literally a key plot point in The Handmaid’s Tale. This is horrifying.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

@npr.org @nytimes.com where is your coverage on how wildly illegal Trump’s “Board of Peace” is? You seem to just accept the criminal behavior and not question it. How about doing some journalism?

Conservatives spent years complaining about ”safe-spaces” and “liberal snowflakes” only to turn around and show they are absolutely terrified of ideas they don’t like (“racism is bad” “gender is fluid”) and willing to use state power to avoid the slightest discomfort.

The snowiest of flakes.

When Americans visit Denny’s in Japan, they’re surprised how much better the food is. In the US Denny’s is where you end up but not where you wanted to go. In Japan, not so much

The idea that an AI bot can streamline care for the elderly is so laughable. But it says so much about our values. Maybe we’ll get bots to call our parents when we’re too busy. Who am I kidding you know that will be a growth industry

“We will not be intimidated into silence.”

—Dr. Leonard Bright, AAUP Texas A&M

This fight is bigger than Texas A&M—it is about whether public universities will serve democracy or fear it.

Sociology in college was just as meaningful for me. It's why I'm a sociologist! Does anyone have an online link to this textbook?

How can anyone now take these universities seriously? I have empathy for my colleagues trying to do their jobs under these circumstances. The state shows such disdain for its students as it thinks they can’t handle a real education.

The Board of Evil will take a piece of this country, a piece of that country. To avoid all this “peace” countries will have to pay him $1 billion but that only buys 3 years

I’m glad he told us where the White House is located. Without that detail, we’d be lost.

I'm really proud of this academic freedom syllabus language that the @aaup.org CDAF fellows developed. Having language like this opens up an opportunity to talk with your students about what academic freedom is (and is not). If you add it to your syllabus this semester let me know how it goes!

Forgive me if I’ve shared this before but Japanese sixth graders watch an animated film in which a boy complains about paying taxes and wishes he lived in a world without taxes. He’s then transported to such a world, where everything is private. Roads police fire dept.
