YouTube video by Degenerate Art by Andrea Pitzer How We Got to Fascism | The Roots and Branches of American Authoritarianism | Andrea Pitzer

How did we get to fascism?

As we figure out how to get out of this mess, we need to look at how we got here.

Is this the unique result of US history or a reflection of authoritarian trends around the globe?

Andrea Pitzer, who studied concentration camps on six continents, says, "Why not both?"

Aug. 9, 2014 | White Police Officer Shoots and Kills Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri Learn more about our history of racial injustice.

On this day in 2014, Michael Brown, an unarmed Black teenager, was killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. A grand jury refused to indict the officer, who was never held accountable.

U.S. map showing that in 25 states and D.C., federal agencies like ICE and the U.S. Marshals only detain people using local jails. In other states, jails play a part in the detention network alongside federal or private facilities. In Arizona, Delaware, and Hawaii no local jails provide substantial detention space to these agencies.

Local jails–mostly run by elected sheriffs–are making money off of ICE's rampant criminalization of immigration.

At 18 years old, with plans of starting college, #MichaelBrown died #OTD after he was shot by a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer. The teen was unarmed.

Today, we remember Michael.

Today marks the 60th anniversary of Medicaid—a lifeline for millions and a cornerstone of our public health system. For six decades, it’s helped ensure that health care is a human right, not a privilege. #Medicaid60 #medicaidmatters

I felt odd liking it so much as an adult (my 10-year-old niece asked me to watch it with her). Your review is affirming my initial reaction. 😄

On a personal note, this is the first paper I started during my doctoral journey on August 16, 2021, so while it's not the first, and I am manifesting that it certainly won't be the last, it will always hold a tender place in my heart. 💜

Most undocumented students enter higher education through community college. Using Shumaker and Brownell’s theory of social support, we aimed to understand how community college resources affect undocumented students’ persistence.

TRIO Alumni Protect TRIO Sign-On Letter President Trump’s FY2026 budget proposes eliminating the Federal TRIO Programs, wrongly claiming they’re no longer necessary. TRIO alumni are urgently needed to help #ProtectTRIO by signing a letter t...

TRIO alums, please use the link to sign the letter in support of TRIO. 🙏🏽

The article begins to capture the magnitude of how #TRIOWorks but it didn’t even mention that TRIO also serves middle schools students, high school students, and sometimes specifically STEM students in college. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of former students served from the 1960s to today.

“More than 3,500 TRIO programs at 1,000 colleges and community-based organizations currently serve nearly 875,000 low-income students, 50,000 rural students, 7,000 students with disabilities and 6,000 veterans.”

“Federal law requires that all TRIO beneficiaries be first-generation college students and that two-thirds have a household income of no more than 150 percent of federal poverty levels.”

How Trump’s Proposed TRIO Cuts Could Hamper College Access The Trump administration wants to eliminate the federally funded student support program. That could be devastating for low-income students and the institutions that serve them.

I can unequivocally say that MANY of the rural, poor and working-class students in my research credit TRIO to their success and continued enrollment in college. These cuts would be devastating to communities like where I come from. Write your congresspeople. www.insidehighered.com/news/student...

As a #TRIOWorks alum, I too condemn the attempt to eliminate a program that works magic to serve so many students so well on truly a tiny fraction of the federal budget. Please stand with TRIO and call your reps. 🙏🏽

We investigated the experiences of undocumented students in higher education, highlighting the necessity of culturally engaging campus environments supported by institutional agents. Our findings indicated disparities among institutions.

Promoting Culturally Engaging Campus Environments for Undocumented Students: The Role of Institutional Agents - Innovative Higher Education Existing research clearly shows that the experiences of undocumented students are highly dependent on the campus environment and their interactions within the setting (Cisneros et al., 2022Journal of ...
