Screenshot of a quote tweet (aka X post).
The original quoted post includes a photo of a dark-haired boy in a car and says "The Palestinian child Amer Rabea' (14) who was shot dead by the occupation forces at the entrance of Turmusayya village, north Ramallah."
The quote tweet says "He was a Palestinian-American CHILD from North Jersey. Israel killed an American citizen, but America will do nothing."

the present shortcoming is not that people protesting are cringe it's that there isn't presently a mass commitment to the kind of action that would force regime change.
that isn't a criticism, just an observation. these things take time. and with time all things are possible.

New horrific footage shows that Israel lied through its teeth about its massacre of paramedics and rescue workers.
But still Western media outlets will keep treating Israeli lies as credible.

When you realize you aren't alone and lots of people are mad, it makes it easier to speak up! Also sometimes you get new ideas.

1. We have decided not to host a single-site in-person conference in Seattle this year. Instead, we will have two in-person sites and a robust online participation option. While we are still working out the details, we will have an in-person conference site in Seattle, another in-person conference site in Vancouver, B.C., and significantly more opportunities for online participation than in years past, as well as opportunities for sessions that virtually bring together folx in the two in-person locations. We emphasize that we want your own safety and comfort to be the primary consideration as you decide whether and how to participate in this yearโs conference. Wherever you live and whatever your citizenship status and/or subject position, we encourage you to carefully consider which of the three participation options (if any) you decide to take up. It is entirely up to you whether you feel safe or willing to cross a border or to travel at all. To help us with our organizational efforts, we will be sending out a very short survey in the coming days. It is imperative that we hear from as many NASSSers as possible both in terms of organizational efforts and to minimize our financial liabilities.
In a move that *should* be precedent-setting for other scholarly organizations, the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport (NASSS) announces that this yearโs conference will be held concurrently at sites in the US and Canada and online due to the dangerous US political climate.

Regular, non-expert people can maybe be forgiven for thinking we'd get a redux of the first administration. But nobody who fancies themselves a thought leader should have expected that. This was a consistent theme during the election: no guardrails this time.

Other fact-based ways to frame these attacks are:
a) part of an ongoing GOP war against higher ed because they view it as a hostile institution
b) an authoritarian breaking any venues of dissent.
Going with the Trump framing is a choice to support the war and give credence to the authoritarian.

True.
Also true that a lot of Americans burned things the last five years. Our militarized police attacked them and I believe there are credible accounts of assassinations.

The problem with parenting interventions in the Global South | Aeon Essays
Early childhood development interventions in the Global South is a huge industry built on highly questionable assumptions
Excellent critique of childhood development interventions: "The privileged of Global North & South can find solace in the idea they have little responsibility for inequality. If bad childcare & poor brain development are major contributing factors to poverty, then it's parentsโ job to overcome it"

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

37 deaths from COVID in the last 6 months
87 deaths from the flu this season
Don't know about other cities but in Seattle, this is the first winter since 2020 that fewer people have died of COVID than the flu (it's been a really nasty flu season!)

Excerpt from Rutgers University Senate resolution calling for a Mutual Academic Defense Compact. The excerpt reads:
"BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Rutgers University Senate urges the President of Rutgers University to formally propose and help establish a Mutual Academic Defense Compact (MADC) among all members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, under this compact, all participating institutions shall commit meaningful funding to a shared or distributed defense fund. This fund shall be used to provide immediate and strategic support to any member institution under direct political or legal infringement;"
This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.
