All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

This thread moved me. Thank you. One. Small. Thing. It can make a difference—your generosity as a creative to share your work for the greater good.
@bschillace.brandyschillace.com I would love to purchase a copy. To avoid the (ahem) larger corporate sellers, where do you recommend I buy it?

In a time of darkness, some good news. My dept was 1 of the ones who had a well qualified adjunct not renewed (thus fired). A lawyer told my dept we would lose the line if we don't hire someone else. My dept took that risk & my chair & colleagues wouldn't relent. We got her classes back for spring.

I’m begging lefties and liberals to stop posting things that erase the reality of how violent the US has been to Indigenous people and Black people (among other US populations) ever since its inception and along the way.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Hey folks, just a reminder:
YOU DO NOT NEED TO WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE NURSE BEING MURDERED BY ICE.
Watching this stuff IS traumatic and WILL harm you.
Take care of yourself.
You can still be justified in your anger without watching someone's death.
