Good thread highlighting some of the ways the popular narrative around Rosa Parks is wrong and elides her more radical politics and actions.
Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

Happy Monday! This is your reminder that none of this normal and that it’s okay to act like it’s not.

The word for this is sophistry. The reason there are so many sophists out there is that this sophistry is a valuable tool in maintaining cruel and unjust policies and practices.

If nothing else the free speech panic should be an object lesson in the way people work to *produce* nuance to avoid the heart of the matter.

Reversing the momentum on doing anything to address this, and the similar scenes playing out across the country, is a big part of the substance of our current anti-woke moment.

WTF. This is a lot to process.
I just wrapped up two projects with students working on automated license plate reader tech in the context of abortion and this is still more dystopian and horrific than anything we uncovered.

The US is now a surveillance state with border patrol as the Gestapo.

Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.

St. Bart's faithfully shows up to stand with the trans and immigrant communities (to which many members or their loved ones belong). I can't wait to see them (and preach!) this Thursday.

Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.
A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.
