It’s pub day!!!… and I just got a message that RESISTANCE FROM THE RIGHT is already SOLD OUT ON AMAZON! You can still order from UNC Press, B&N, Target, Bookshop, and a few other places online This is just.. 😭🫶 uncpress.org/book/978146967…


Please help. They’re libbing out so hard on Bluesky. I need ALL OF YOU to get in there


Legacy media logic that reporting on rightwing youtubers will elevate them is so incredibly self-important

Could probably make that happen. One problem is that the media doesn’t want to acknowledge that those things are out there because they believe that it will elevate them. This is a long internal debate when I wrote about hate online for the Village Voice I was lectured by some.

I grew up working class in 🇨🇦. When I came to the U.S. to do my PhD I met many smart people, none working class, who today are the big thinkers & talkers about the left, liberalism, & working class. I don’t think they are wrong, but if ever there was a time to seek new voices…


Misdiagnosing the problem must not pose a danger to democracy

“You can get people to vote away their democracy… as long as you create a false world for them to believe in.” - @HC_Richardson on how fear and disinformation helped shape this election. #TheWeeklyShow #JonStewart #Trump #Economy

Public disappointment with universities has reached epidemic proportions. Christopher Newfield (@cnewf) suggests the answer lies in redefining #HigherEducation around intellectual and social benefits not monetary ones. Join us Mon, 11/18, @ 4pm on Zoom websites.umass.edu/feinberg/nov18/

Let me get this straight. The Democratic Party spent years claiming Trump will end democracy and devised no contingency plan for what to do if he won again?


Lauren Lassabe Shepherd Reposted

The idea that the Democratic Party needs to create a propaganda media system like the right is crazy. It is not replicable from the left & the goal of the right is to control curricula. This is not the first time it's happened. Libs & the left need to fight for public education.

It has not been "an information war"; it has been a nearly 50 year assault on public institutions, especially public universities. You want a more informed electorate? Then we need to reverse the defunding of public higher ed, which Democrats have abetted x.com/HC_Richardson/…

History would be in better shape if, over the next four years, the American historical profession devoted its time & energy to building up its institutional capacity and distributing resources to contingent scholars. Of course, there is no individual book deal in that project.
