    EP. 892: MAGAcademy: THE CORPORATE TAKEOVER OF HIGHER EDUCATION ft. NOLAN HIGDON

    Purchase Nolan's book, MAGAcademy DIRECTLY from Nolan here: https://www.nolanhigdon.com/magacademy   In MAGAcademy: How Corporatism Paved the Way for the Hostile Takeover of Higher Ed, Nolan Higdon delivers a searing indictment of the structural rot that allowed the modern university to be transformed into an ideological fortress. For decades, neoliberal administrators and careerist faculty traded academic freedom for corporate efficiency, replacing critical inquiry with market logic and genuine equity with performative DEI mandates.   When Donald Trump returned to power in 2025, he didn’t need to build a new apparatus of control, he simply weaponized the one the “resistance” had already perfected.   Blending personal memoir from the front lines of faculty labor disputes with sharp political analysis, MAGAcademy traces the collapse of the campus from the 1970s to the 2024 Gaza protests and the eventual capitulation of elite institutions like Columbia and Berkeley. This is not just a book for academics; it is a warning for every citizen. When higher education prioritizes profit over principle and compliance over courage, the foundations of democracy itself begin to crumble.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   READ THE WEEKLY TIR NEWSLETTER HERE: https://www.patreon.com/collection/1853497   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.

    EP. 890: DREAMING OF THE RIVER ft. PAULINE STEINHORN

    Get Pauline's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Dreaming-River.../dp/B0GKHNQT43...   This true story of a Jewish mother and daughter is a testament to courage, devotion, and the fragile thread of hope that sustained them. Amid cruelty and terror, they also encounter moments of humanity.   Throughout it all, both cling to memories of the River Kamienna, where they once danced, played music, and believed in a future. For Bronia and Hajuta, the river is more than a memory. It is a promise that one day they might return home.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   READ THE WEEKLY TIR NEWSLETTER HERE: https://www.patreon.com/collection/1853497   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.
