Could we get a good class action suit going for all the people wrongfully(and violently) detained along with everybody whose person and property have been searched without a warrant? @democracydocket.com

Said that back in 2014 JSSR article. Most of the SBNRs are neither

Somehow "existential threat" just doesn't seem like the sort of rhetoric that is likely to resonate with people who aren't existentially nerds.

Nevertheless she persisted! I do love my Senator @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social

Sociologist and activist in ICE custody, so far as I can tell for taking part in a peaceful protest. @asanews.bsky.social @aaup.org

This is who @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social is. Brilliant. Fearless. I fucking hate typing this shit out: Free Eman.

Amplify amplify amplify please.

Amen sister

Congregations of all sorts provide these ‘civic skills’ but they benefit most the people who don’t have easy access to other places to learn those skills. #BlackChurch and more.

This snarky article from Salon doesn't help anyone. Its argument seems to be that MAGA will fail because its music is so mediocre. I'm no CCM fan, but this is exactly the sort of talk that demonstrates to the loyal base that they are right about snooty elitist lefties.

Just one more example of our country becoming the world’s worst moral exemplar. No light shining on a hill. Just violent bravado and destruction.

Am I reading this correctly?

A grad student ... in Computer Science ... enrolled in an undergraduate seminar ... in the American Indian and Indigenous Studies program ... where he ignored the readings and hijacked discussions to talk about Israel and defend its actions in Gaza?

What the hell?

Blessings dear Anthea, and may you see even more clearly as you rest.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Is anyone assessing the impact of those huge #H1B visa fees on #universities?

Things today's White House autism announcement did not do:

-Discuss strategies to increase supports and services for autistic people/families
-Highlight why autistic people and families deserve respect, not pity or fear
-Endorse one speck of autism research that is not dangerous pseudoscience

The Justice Department is basically Trump's personal law firm now From public demands to go after his political enemies to reportedly closing $50,000 bribery investigations into Tom Homan.

From public demands to go after his political enemies to reportedly closing $50,000 bribery investigations into Tom Homan, Trump is basically using the DOJ as his own personal law firm.

Where is the @bostonglobe.com coverage of the hundreds of marchers in yesterday’s #SunDay demonstration?? Maybe @npr.org will notice?

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

That professor hit list was created just for such a time as this. None of these firings comes out of the blue. They've been pre-orchestrated by a well-organized right-wing network.

Oh that we had this judge on hand every time 47 opens his mouth

Where oh where is the B train? 2 C trains; 2 D trains; 3 E trains… and counting @mbta.com

Let's not forget that the carrot these media companies want is ever greater dominance over everything we see and hear.

Hooray for @asareligion.bsky.social! Thanks for the starter pack! Let's keep the #Sociology of #Religion conversation going on here.

A wholesome and much needed TL cleanser.

Robert Reich Trump's Crypto Corruption, Explained

A UAE investment firm run by a member of the country’s ruling family put $2 billion into the Trump family’s crypto firm.

Then the White House gave the UAE access to hundreds of thousands of powerful computer chips needed to build AI.

Trump’s crypto corruption is off the charts.

Clemson fires two more faculty members over Charlie Kirk comments Clemson leaders had come under increased pressure from people online as well as South Carolina Republican politicians to take action.

The rampant violations of academic freedom and intrusions on extramural speech are escalating rapidly. Faculty members have the right to speak or write as citizens, free from institutional censorship or discipline. Expression of opinion as a citizen does not constitute grounds for dismissal.

A job at USC focused on institutions & inequalities — prime subject for the many great #sociology grad students focused on #religion and inequality.
