It’s here! @mishmoshk.bsky.social and Heike brought together an amazing collection of essays to map the influence of the ADL.
Isaac Kamola

Higher education & African anticolonialism. Professor at Trinity College. Wrote "Making the World Global" and "Free Speech And Koch Money." Director of the Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom (AAUP). Views=my own.
@jaredlholt.bsky.social and @michaelehayden.bsky.social are right once again. While the @nytimes.com swoons over Chris Rufo and treats him as a "very serious person," they call him out as the fascist and "turd polisher" he is. PTI is #1 source for news (and music)!

some descriptive statistics here on the civility industrial complex on college campuses that I haven’t seen analyzed before
That so-called mainstream outlets see the bigoted ghouls at The Manhattan Institute as worthy of interviews and profiles (rather than derision, scorn, and exile) is evidence of their debasement and an indictment of the mainstream.
Nazis taking over the Republican Party? How'd that happened? Lie to the media for years, chastise experts who knew invading Iraq would lead to catastrophe, stoke racism for short term political gain...hmmm...you reap what you sow, ass hat. <smallest violin emoji>

@aclu.org & @amnesty.org just published a massive report "Student Speech Under Attack." 300pp & 2 years in the making it offers the definitive account of how the speech of students (faculty and staff) was silenced, and continues to be policed, on campus. @aaup.org

@abbieboggs.bsky.social book just arrived!! Can confirm that—in addition to an amazing cover— the book itself is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Reviewed and blurbed if. And still thinking about it all the time!
Trump called accreditation "our secret weapon"--better take him at his word! Sign up for this AAUP webinar tonight and learn how you can help fight back. @aaup.org
Great breakdown of what is at stake in the MAGA/Heritage Foundation efforts radically rewrite the accreditation standards for academic institutions! Submit your comments please! @aaup.org
We tracked the right-wing funding networks behind the civility-industrial complex. At @theguardian.com, @alicesperi.bsky.social uses our research to explore the explosive growth of "civility" and "dialogue" programs on campuses across the U.S.: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
I beg of you: please read @uncivilcollective.bsky.social's new report on the "civility industrial complex" that is pushing a right-wing version of the humanities into public higher ed while defunding actual humanistic teaching & research. www.uncivilcollective.org
