Hey #academicsky: friendly reminder that taking the exact ideas or sources, or the exact way someone puts together ideas or sources from someone else's work and framing them as your own is plagiarism. Ideas are what we theorists make in the lab, through long hours of work and years of honing.

Adam knows that this was the freedom of enslavers, who freedom was bound up with absolute control of their enslaved property.
"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...
The only way to assure individual liberty is to hand unprecedented governmental power to the guy engaged in blatant democratic backsliding

Trump's hateful rant and violently repressive action targeting Somali-Americans, ending free national park admissions on MLK day and Juneteenth, and an NSS calling for Europe to be whiter—all this week.
No doubt it's extremely racist. The only question is whether Americans think that's good or bad.
