As a teacher with an immunocompromised wife - fuck you! My partner wouldn't be here if it hadn't been for school closures. We were fortunate enough to continue teaching from home. The disrespect to colleagues we lost and the students who were never able to return bc of long Covid - sickening.

No need for anyone to agree with me - but some of the responses to this on here reminds me just how stifling and absolutist a period in our national discourse Covid was.

some amazing things happening over on threads — ever since they “shut down CERN”

We all know this is fascism.

What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

A refresher from our video earlier this week. The deposition is part of a lawsuit filed by @historians.org, @acls1919.bsky.social and @modernlanguage.bsky.social. Read our story on the highlights from the hours long deposition here: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

Everything that you’re watching ICE and BP do mimics local policing of racialized neighborhoods. We can compare these federal agencies to European fascists but we can also compare them to the gang units that have terrorized my family.

…succeeded in calling the manager of the company he worked for and told him what happened…told them one of the two had a gold tooth. Someone with ICE LITERALLY pulled out the gold tooth before deporting the two men and if you know your Holocaust history this should destroy you 😪😪😪

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS. ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion. This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific. They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him. Stop the lies.

🧵A leaked DOJ memo shows the Trump FBI is drawing up an enemies list that could encompass well over half the US public. If you align with any of the following, congrats. You may be headed for Bondi's list. Also set up a cash reward system for people who turn in anyone who promotes these thoughts.

Trump just took this giant step towards authoritarian rule — and the media ignored it

I am coming around to the view that at least some of the work at this point is to find ways to create (however imperfectly) a microcosm of our vision for the future in our everyday lives. Which is a big transition for me as someone who long held contempt for what I saw as lifestyle activism

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

Job Garcia’s kidnapping by the Trump administration is the top story on the LA Times website right now. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Bradford William Davis@bwd.bsky.social · last yr.

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

A woman is hospitalized and receives staples in her head after LAPD trampled her with their horses. LAPD also impeded her receiving medical attention.

it’s not an important point at all, but I just can’t get over the fact that these people apparently believe they’d do well in a “meritocracy” after failing upwards their entire lives
