In the face of unprecedented challenges, we need a president whose vision was shaped by the American Heartland rather than the ineffective Washington politics we’ve come to know and expect.

So.....some news: Today, I accepted an offer to become the new Director of the Center for the Advancement of Faculty Excellence at @QueensUniv in Charlotte, NC. It's an academic staff position w/ faculty rank at full Professor, and I cannot tell you how *excited* I am.

7/ So the viral story about buffoonish college students is actually...kinda not that at all? It's not an invitation to free money that's RIGHT THERE YOU FOOLS, it's a vaguely-phrased weird flex from a prof who wanted to do a Facebook stunt and look like the Clever Boy.

This country will throw food away rather than feed the poor. And the architects of this policy will go to church on Sunday, smugly self-righteous in their belief they're doing "the lord's work"

I don't want to teach my students to think outside of the box. I want to teach them to light the box on fire and dance on its ashes.

I better not see any of y'all embracing the Federalist Society as resistance heroes or whatnot. The architect of the building is the first one to know it's collapsing. That's it, and that's all.

Inmates at a jail in Arkansas were given the anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin without their consent as a "treatment" to COVID-19 and the jail's medical staff told them they were "vitamins." Some inmates were given over 6x more than the approved dosage. WTF

It’s hard to run for national office from California or New York. The urban parts of those states are so unrepresentative you don’t understand what you’re about to face.

@SonyaShaykhoun @a_uaeian Ah yes, I was supposed to search your vast Twitter oeuvre before reacting to this post. I'm sure your requests to the city are motivated solely by an altruistic care for others and certainly not by the fact you think poor people are icky and gross, and want them hidden.

I call out an academic loser for blasting my credentials and point out he teaches at a fourth-rate school. Here he launches into a thread insisting he chooses to be there because, you know, his school is really special and all. No mention that better colleges won’t hire him!

Neoliberal capitalism has destroyed higher ed to the point where we're telling students to literally bleed themselves dry for course materials.
