Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.

But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

It’s day 64 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

Today ICE officers once again arrested observers at gunpoint, caused lockdowns of neighborhood schools, and harassed people on the street simply for their skin color.

Nothing has changed, despite the rhetoric from “leaders.”

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.

If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

No, it’s ok, I didn’t just get off a Zoom tutoring session with a high school student an hour ago, on which I was explaining about all the members of the KKK who were lawyers and judges and the like, so I’m fine.

"you don’t defeat authoritarians by being more reasonable. You defeat them by being more determined and by uniting the country against their most visible vulnerability: their corruption. History won’t judge Democrats on whether they were moderate enough. It will judge them on whether they fought"

Do... do some people not understand that these newly funded paramilitary troops will be the exact people who'll "monitor" the "nationalized" elections and will abduct (at least for day or two in order to "check their status [sic!]") any person too Black or brown to be near a ballot box? OK then.

This, this, this - and fractally.

Important context for those blessedly not in the know: these aren't just any MAHA 'farmers.'

Spain going for Musk too. PM Pedro Sánchez at the WGS earlier:

"Choose Kindness"

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

Rather than advocate for more tenure-track lines within existing departments (where hiring would of course not take place based on ideological litmus tests but rather qualifications in scholarship/teaching etc.) these centers create parallel safe spaces to promote ideologically favorable scholarship

The Strange New Job Market for Conservative Scholars Right-leaning academics are in demand. Does that amount to intellectual diversity?

No surprise given the forum in which this article was published (one long hostile to serious reporting on the academic labor movement) but the article fails to note that the key goal of these conservative centers is to undermine departmental & faculty governance. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

"Women are all interchangeable, surely." --The Trib

One of the things I enjoy in life is a funny little reminder that, in many deeply fundamental ways, human beings (and kids especially) are always the same, no matter where or when they are

Also lmao got his ass

a donkey crucified

the earliest depiction of Christ’s crucifixion is among the ruins of a Roman palace turned messenger boy’s school - a student mocking one of his Christian classmates with a doodle of a boy praying to a donkey-headed figure on a cross captioned “Alexamenos worshipping his God”

WHO IS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF DHS?????

Interesting thing to notice here: the Tribune social accounts literally never post threads like this seemingly explaining their reason for endorsements and detailing how they view each candidate

They don’t do it in IL7 yesterday and I’m not sure I’ve seen a Tribune twitter thread like this before

This story is about Northampton, MA. Which is to say, it’s about where I work, live and teach..

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

The federal government is afraid of your whistles and your emails.

The education section of this is INSANE:

"Education

Schools should emphasize literacy, numeracy, civic knowledge and career readiness, not ideological instruction."

And that's it. That is apparently all that matters.
