Horrid news out of Oklahoma about Dr. Vahid Abedini, a professor of Iranian Studies.
The university has refused to make a public comment on Abedini's detention. Folks with OU connections, you know what to do: call OU and demand they take a stand & support Abedini.

We don’t need to reform ICE.

We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

The cat distribution system is getting out of hand.
“You may not believe me, but I just had a bald eagle drop a cat through my windshield,” the incredulous driver said on the recorded 911 call. “It absolutely shattered my windshield.”
The dispatcher calmly responded, “OK. I do believe you, honestly,” then laughed.

Indeed, some of the earliest petitions and what we’d now call letters to the editors that circulated in print media in the early americas were manifestos, and other political writings from enslaved and free Black people arguing for abolition and/or return to Africa.
On my drive back to New York from giving a book talk at Bowdoin College, I stopped briefly at Portsmouth, New Hampshire,where I stumbled on this remarkable history. A sharp reminder that slavery permeated the American experience,even where least expected. www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/l...
