That one I just outright refuse. I say I don’t answer student emails. They have to come to office hours or ask me before or after class.

Abolishing ICE isn’t enough – it’s time to center people’s humanity | Heba Gowayed and Victor Ray It’s far from radical to reject a system predicated on violence – despite what thinktanks might claim

“Abolish ICE” isn’t radical, it doesn’t go far enough.

Local knowledge/innovation from below and planned research/ innovation from above are crucial to capitalist economies and to any post-capitalist future (and to my pieces).
