NEW: Con Edison, the energy company serving New York City, refuses to say how ICE gets its customers' data. We reviewed a bunch of cases where both HSI/ICE and FBI get or 'search' through Con Edison data. Con Edison won't even say if they require a warrant www.404media.co/con-edison-r...

My paper is part of a special issue on mechanisms of racism, guest edited by Amanda Lewis and Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, for ERS. Here’s their introduction to the issue: www.tandfonline.com/doi/permissi...

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department. Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

Conservative education activists such as Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice have access to the top levers of the government.

“If America’s public schools cease to exist tomorrow, America would be a better place,” Justice told ProPublica.

I said I loved you and I wanted genocide to stop

Kahlenberg TESTIFIED FOR THE PLAINTIFFS in the 2023 Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard case. Consciously or not, he has for years abetted the Trump campaign of anti-antiracism.

Just remember we have not even hit year one of this white nationalist fascist government. They have a lot more installed for us. We need to get ready, we need to join an organization. You can't survive this alone you need comrades.

We lost a warrior, a freedom fighter, a visionary, someone who changed the way I see the world. May Assata Shakur rest in power with the ancestors!

YouTube video by Chenjerai Kumanyika LIVE: ARREST NETANYAHU: NYC MARCH TO THE UN

Reporting that isn't stenography challenge.

Lots of different protests happening in NYC next week including protests at the UN and an anti-ICE protest on 9.25.

Political violence has no place in this country…

But we will also do nothing to curb the availability of the guns used to carry out said violence.

The denial and empty rhetoric is learned helplessness— because the truth is..

America is sick and there is no cure in sight.

I'll be presenting on crime data. Please join us.

"Just the other day, I was in the audience at Lincoln Center when Justice Amy Coney Barrett said, while promoting a new book, that she doesn't think the United States is in a constitutional crisis," Farias told us.

This week, talking with them about the lock down drills they’re experiencing and why we as adults have failed them (our kids) so badly. 😢

"Vote for me, they guy that President Trump is happy to delegate power to"

Thinking about Chicago, race, and repression. Remember when earnest old Twitter made everything into a syllabus --it was corny yeah, but a few things I'd put on my Chicago syllabus 🧵

(I am not from Chicago, this is not an exhaustive list, but work related to Chicago I regularly reference.)

I know this is out of style.

Today, I tried to get my COVID vaccine and was denied. Even after showing the pharmacist @govwesmoore.bsky.social 's statement that Maryland law says all Marylanders should have access to the COVID vaccine, I was still denied. They said they had to follow the box. This is RFK's fault. RFK must go.
