@uh.edu Cancels ‘Confronting Oppression & Injustice’ Course

The course’s axing is yet another example of curricular censorship at Texas public universities. https://bit.ly/4748W06

Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family.

It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support.

Thank you for your consideration.

Today in Texas, faculty are very afraid. There is no discussion, debate, or chatter about lived events. Just great care to place one’s feet gently into the earth.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Just prior to Padilla’s attempt to ask a question, Noem said this:

We are not going away," she said. "We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country.”

Scary, fascistic.

All pundits should be required to engage with anthropologists. We have so much to contribute to a discussion of the meanings attached to flags. 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Poem time:
“There once were two cats from Kilkenny,

Each thought there was one cat too many;

So they fought and they fit,

And they scratched and they bit,

Till, excepting their nails,

And the tips of their tails,

Instead of two cats, there weren't any!”
