This Is America, Just Not the America You Knew Two white people were killed by ICE in Minneapolis and suddenly White America is outraged.

America is outraged after ICE killed two white people in Minneapolis.

There was a discussion on LinkedIn yesterday about the good days of Academic Twitter before everything went to crap and we left. I'm curious why we haven't been able to recreate that here. A lot of the same folks are here, but there's not as much engagement. What's Bluesky missing? โš›๏ธ๐Ÿงช
