Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

4 students chain themselves to Morrill Hall demanding a sanctuary campus Shortly after 1 p.m. this afternoon, four demonstrators chained themselves to the outside of Morrill Hall, demanding University of Minnesota President Rebecca Cunningham declare the University as a sa...

Hats off to these students.

I'm looking back at my student teaching portfolio from 2019, and it's amazing how many of the ed tech platforms I was encouraged to use became empty AI shells. Gutted, stripped for parts, but now ~enhanced with AI~

On May 13, 1985 in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania State Police dropped a bomb from a helicopter onto a Black neighborhood.

11 people were killed, 5 of whom were children.

As we see ICE terrorize communities, understand that saying “this isn’t who we are” is false.

Donate to Help Collin finish his PhD without an eviction, organized by Collin Brice Hi there! My name is Collin Brice and I'm a PhD candidate in Cincinnati. W… Collin Brice needs your support for Help Collin finish his PhD without an eviction

I know everything sucks right now, but I have found myself in need for this last semester of my PhD after my partner left me. This feels even weirder cause I don't have Facebook or instagram to reach people. If you want to help by pitching in or passing this along, it would mean a lot

Hello community!

We are asking for more support for this fundraiser. Due to the extreme cold expected to linger in the Twin Cities for the next several days, we are seeing a huge need to help provide hot meals to unhoused people. Please help us continue to support our immigrant businesses!

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

News Stories Shape Public Perception of Trans Lives. We’re Keeping Score. — Assigned Our Trans News Tracking Project seeks to catalogue bias at major news organizations in the US.

In 2026, we're launching an ambitious effort to track legacy news media's coverage of the trans community, with a focus on the words news outlets choose and how those are changing as right wing pressure threatens the independence of our press.

Hey #teamrhetoric:

I'm part of a team submitting a proposal to RSQ for a special issue on conspiracy theories. If you're doing work on conspiracy rhetoric outside of the US or using a feminist/queer/trans or BIPOC lens, I want to know about it!

Please reach out or share with a friend!

Gender Ideology: Both a completely new liberal concept that no one 5 years ago ever heard of before AND somehow infecting the writings of ancient Greek philosophers.

Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur."

I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.

A very good point. Trying to stay grounded in the written rationales and not get ahead of myself!

An excellent balance - thank you!

Thank you!🤞🏻
