University accessibility programs will have you take a two-hour training every year but not have the money/initiative to fix the only elevator in the building after a month.

It hits different when they're arresting white women. They signed up to terrorize Black and brown people.

When I get stuck writing a thing, I give myself space to write using whatever language comes to me (regardless of whether the outlet will be ok with my word choice). I just went on an absolute tear about faculty in our present moment and now I'm gonna need to heavily revise so as not to be rude.

Do any of you for campuses that have given you *any* guidance on being prepared in any way for the many ways these violent abhorrent ICE raids and kidnapping might impact your campus? If so can you DM me? You can’t prepare for everything but Georgia state ain’t told us *shit*. Sitting fucking ducks.

The UAW is known locally for its left-leaning politics and justice-oriented members in academia and legal services. Now two of its rank-and-file members, Dalourny Nemorin and Darializa Avila Chevalier, are mounting Democratic campaigns to the party’s left.

These are some sick, sick fuckers.
ICE arrests, detains British woman with US husband and newborn when she shows up for her green card interview. She’s now in a detention center, separated from her 6-month-old. No criminal record. She had overstayed her visa.

Will die on this hill, but I think the reason the shareholders could grab this much power is white folks got pissed off when “our grandkids” had to include black ones.

Alotta them would rather pour concrete in the pool than swim with us.

Go BLUE!! Michigan Economics, my home major baby.

If the Econ 101 students can run trade policy, then the 401 students can be president!
My MVP for this week: I've discovered some folks who could do a much better job running American trade policy. #Econ101 #GoBlue #TeachEcon

I LOVE this
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I went to pump some gas on the westside of Atlanta and I watched this homeless dude ask everybody else pumping gas if they had any money. But then he got to me and asked me if I had any snacks in the car.

Man I must look like a fat ass for real.

Watching Ireland and South Africa and sending players off for offsides or a hand in the ruck is ruining the game

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

The degree to which the Democratic Party is failing to meet this moment is staggering. And INFURIATING, when contrasted with the courage on display from ordinary people with far, far less power & protection.

I study fascism. I’ve already fled America.
On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

Also a reminder that our problems are so much bigger than one or two fascist politicians. We have a billionaire problem, a capital problem that won’t be solved without very big changes.

One of the vice principals at the kids’ school went to Ohio and has been giving me tons of shit this year, O-Hing at me with his hands in the drop off line and such. Drives me nuts. So, I got him a present in preparation for The Game this year. Go Blue!
