Social scientist at a medium sized Southeastern University. I like somber saxophones and jubilant trombones. Jazz flutes not welcome.

She’s one of few democrats who don’t seem content to be complicit in turning over our country to the oligarchs in exchange for a few insider trading tips.

I would like AOC to run for three reasons: 1. I think the D candidate in 2028 is strongly favored to win regardless of who it is 2. We need to elect someone who understands the moment and is committed to a new reconstruction 3. Of all plausible candidates I am most convinced AOC meets that bar

The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”

NAACP Calls on Black Athletes & Fans to Withhold Athletic and Financial Support of Public Schools in States Attacking Black Voting Rights The NAACP today is launching the “Out of Bounds” campaign, a national call for Black athletes, families, fans, alumni, and consumers to withhold athletic and financial support from public universities in states that have moved to limit, weaken, or erase Black voting representation in the wake of the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which gutted what was left of the Voting Rights Act The NAACP identified eight priority states — Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and Georgia — and targeted flagship public athletic programs generating more than $100 million in annual revenue that continue to recruit Black athletes while their state governments dismantle the political power of Black communities.What these states have done is not a policy disagreement. It is a sprint to erase Black political power,” said Derrick Johnson, National President & CEO, NAACP. “These actions happened in days, in some cases in hours, of a Supreme Court ruling that gives extremist lawmakers a playbook to erode Black representation. The NAACP will not watch the same institutions that depend on Black athletic prowess to fill their stadiums and their bank accounts remain silent while their states strip Black communities of their voice. Out of Bounds is our answer: we are naming the contradiction, and we are calling on Black athletes, families, fans, and consumers to act on it. The same power that built these programs can be redirected. And it will be.” The economic stakes of the campaign are significant. The flagship universities in the eight targeted states collectively generate billions of dollars in annual athletic revenue.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Students complain about a white conservative guy set to give a commencement speech, the university doesn't cancel him, it gets an article in the NYT. Students complain about a brown anti-genocide guy set to give a commencement speech, he is canceled, and no one on the campus culture cares. Huh.

N.J.’s largest university canceled his graduation speech — so he delivered it on YouTube instead www.nj.com/education/20...

DeSantis also says datacenters are unpopular on both the left and the right. If you have followed this guy's career, this is something worth taking note of. He would not be coming out early like this if he didn't see a big political problem coming down the road.

Miami International Airport may have mystery liquids gushing from the ceilings and non-functioning elevators, walkways, and escalators, but don’t worry: it will soon get an AI-powered hologram chatbot!

Republican lawmakers in Florida are about to pass a bill designed to suppress turnout on on university and college campuses. The legislation (HB 991) would stop university students from using their student IDs as identification when they show up at their polling place to vote.

In addition to making it illegal for trained and compassion facilitators to discuss race in college classrooms, they are baiting young white men into hating everyone who's different than them.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"
