It’s been really telling how many Harvard bios are on the first page of hits when searching names.
Of course there are academics in the Epstein files
Academia is not a natural space for radical politics, knowledge and emancipation as many pretend it is, buoyed by reactionary moral panics
It is primarily built on conservatism, hierarchies and thirst for power so this should not be surprising

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

I have yet to see any of the House Dems who voted against DHS funding condemn their 7 colleagues who voted for it, or call out leadership for failing to whip up a unified front of opposition.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Not only does ICE need to be abolished, but there should be publically aired tribunals for as long as it takes to hold every last one of these thugs accountable. No one, not even the people who file paperwork or handle payroll, should be immune from prosecution.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Same, and in all of the time I’ve spent reporting, observing and volunteering on the US-Mexico border some of the most radical leftist people I’ve met have been religious leaders, priests or nuns.
i left the church and have nothing to do with it anymore but something happens when i see priests and pastors and rabbis and imams and sikhs at protests going so hard in mega harsh conditions i get choked up. this is how all of that is supposed to be. that's what all of that is supposed to be for.
