Social media monitoring systems, cellphone location tracking, facial recognition, remote hacking tools — now being turned on Americans by ICE to target protesters. bit.ly/3Kq348R
I’ve started your audiobook this morning, as I continue the grieving process from the loss of my parents, and the reconciliation with my father’s legacy and impact on me. So far, it’s connecting deeply as my father passed 142 days after yours. Here’s my story - www.jenskiel.com/who-lives-wh...
What happened to Senator Padilla in California today is outrageous. Senator Padilla is a respected leader of great dignity and he has every right to ask a question of Secretary Noem without being slammed down and handcuffed.
It's been six months since I left WVSU. It’s time to charter a new course. DM me if I may connect with you, your organization, resource, or personal contact to see how my expertise and experience in corporate communications can benefit them and excite me. #agresearch #extension #communications
So.. I told my students about Mahmoud Khalil at the end of class today and assured them that in case I disappear, I will leave plans for their class with the department head.

With zero enthusiasm but total clarity we are doing the appropriate thing, the patriotic thing, the constitutional thing. But that does not erase what many Republicans did four years ago. Just because we aren’t doing it back as retaliation doesn’t make the stain go away. Shame on them, forever.
President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.
An article I wrote in 2020. Still amazing to me that Trump's supporters think of him as manly.

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.”
The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.
Ouch and spot on from Erik Wemple: “ABC News will never live down this capitulation. Never.”

Thank you, Sir. We‘ve been MJ viewers since day one, but stopped after they kissed the ring. DJTs ‚Gleichschaltung‘ has begun. End of an era, and the beginning of something more sinister.
Patel is plainly unfit and unqualified to be FBI Director and the nomination is an unambiguously fascist decision by Trump, but Patel would uphold two of the FBI's most storied traditions: attacking civil rights leaders and passing secrets to the Russians.
Trump assembled a crew of advisers steeped in right-wing and social media — not in experience or expertise. Riddled with conflicts of interest, it’s “America’s first influencer administration, potentially transforming how Washington reaches everyday Americans.” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Sending big love to everyone who experiences Thanksgiving as emotional torture and pain,
and/or deep, deep loneliness.
And/or profound grief.
You’re not alone.
And I see you.
So do a lot of other people here.

You used to at the bird place since 2011, when we met on my birthday! ✌🏼
Good list from Bryan

This holds up alarmingly well, especially the warnings of what would come if Trump were not immediately repudiated. It also captures the feeling of that day: a dark hope that now the worst had happened, all the dire predictions come true, it would somehow finally be over.
Celebrating the life of my mother. 🖤
