I'm still smitten with the goatlette.

Front Royal PRIDE!!!

💯 days until Election Day!

I assign the original working paper, which has 50 entries. But this is the one I was first introduced to: www.nationalseedproject.org/.../white-pr....

I'll bracket how depressing that is and focus instead on the glimmer of hope I always feel when students encounter and respond to it. Even in these dark times. If you've never read it, do.

I am (admittedly belatedly) reading my students' discussion posts on McIntosh's Privilege Knapsack. I read this myself 20+ years ago in a random gen ed course I had enrolled in just because it was online and fell in love with Sociology. Written in 1989, it's arguably more relevant now than ever.

Republicans in the House just cheered as they voted to kick 17 million people off their health care.

I couldn't have said it better.

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings.
 
This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

A concentration camp, but with alligators The rollout of Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” isn't just about implementing a sadistic immigration policy. It's about showing it off

A concentration camp, but with alligators. Don't look away.

The Big Ugly Bill is hideous & we must use it to defeat the MAGA GOP next year.

Yes yes yes to both

The last figure I saw was around 5 million
