It's not clear how the news media can continue to call what Israel is doing a "war." Don't they have enough letters left to spell "genocide?"

And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

You mean to tell me banning affinity group graduations, handing over school records to the DHS gestapo, cracking down on protests, and dismantling DEI didn't appease this fascist dictator?! I'm shocked I tell you. /s

Cover of Disaster Nationalism: Tsunami and Civil War in Sri Lanka by Vivian Y. Choi. The cover is an abstract image of swirling black lines that resemble an oncoming storm, with a background that has a gradient of a brown yellow at the top and burnt orange at the bottom.
We have many exciting new titles coming out this May, including "Disaster Nationalism" by Vivian Y. Choi @vivvychoi.bsky.social . #AsianStudies #Anthropology

"the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not a technical abstraction. It is not about some theory of government functioning. It is about the president’s use of secret police to abduct a man from American soil and send him to a foreign gulag."
