What gets me is that AIPAC is going to turn around & spend on the Republican in the MI Senate race while centrist Dems malign Abdul as a non-Democrat. But it’s fine & party line to support people funded in millions by donors entirely agnostic to their party & only concerned with a foreign country.

There’s such a fascinating story told in these numbers

My 3 yo has entered his why phase & no one told me how existential and profound the why’s get once you get 2-3 in.

I have so many thoughts about these recent plagiarism allegations & the way that these white institutions platform aka tokenize people of color who are willing to perform in certain ways just to then use them as exemplars and tear them down, generalizing to the race in the process...

Fellow academics: I know a Haitian PhD student who due to TPS termination needs another institutional affiliation not in the USA. Do you or someone you know have an avenue for them? If so, DM me.

I am glad AAUP endorsed Abdul Sayed. And I will never ever understand how some of my colleagues, Professors, continue to insist that education, the pursuit of KNOWLEDGE, is apolitical as cops are called to our campuses and hedge funds run our schools. Silence has not, will not ever, protect you.

i am behind on literally every single thing in my life. How has this summer been this hectic!?

It's weird when people bristle at the idea of abolishing billionaires. Are you a billionaire? Is your mum one? Why do you care? It would be good to abolish billionaires. More money for public services, less money for them to buy rape islands.

What a neat summary of this moment

On the night of 2–3 August 1944, nearly 3,000 Roma men, women and children were murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Today, on European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day, we honour the victims of the Roma genocide and reaffirm our duty to preserve their memory.

It's encouraging in the sense that leftist positions are clearly spreading through the Democratic Party. That said, I really don't want to vote for people who are only agreeing with these ideas now because hedging in the past cost them something.

I was just messaging with my Haitian friend and said that my toddler asks about him because he’s used to seeing him in the mornings and he responded “I miss him so much, I have been thinking about that.” 😭😭😭 The truth is this country doesn’t deserve him. I wish there was somewhere he could be safe.

Personally as a Jewish American I would appreciate if “Protestant unspecified” candidates kept us out of their mouths

We raised $5,252.50. A note from my Haitian friend to all who supported: "My gratitude toward you is immense; I realize that your humanity goes far beyond your usual nature. What you have done for me will remain forever etched in my heart. A simple "thank you" seems quite insufficient. 1/

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

Thanks to an extraordinarily generous donation from an incredible person, we have made our goal. Thank you EVERYONE. And just to show you the scope of the movement, and the power of us all donations ranged from $3 to $2,000. We are ALL here, ALL committed, and we will absolutely win.

If you know a Haitian with TPS that’s ending.... NO YOU FUCKING DON’T.

IMHO, menos yard signs que digan ~immigrants welcome here~ y más trabajo real para proteger estatus legal (TPS, DACA) + a path to citizenship para quienes llevan décadas pagando impuestos y contribuyendo tanto en este país.

I told him on the call today “I’m so sorry” and he said “this is life” and the thing that is awful is that for him & so many others this flippant cruelty at the hands of this country is.

My son worked with a Haitian woman he adored. She went back to Haiti a few months ago for fear of ICE and being certain this was the path the US would take. She was hard working, kind,& intuitive. She returned to danger & poverty because, as she said, “It was the evil she knew. The US was scarier”

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS & we can still stop it. Please call your Senator NOW & ask that they sign onto S.4814 & extend TPS for Haitians for 3 years. This will be a catastrophe for our neighbors who have been here legally!! Here's the call script! drive.google.com/file/d/1XXEs...

This is heartbreaking. We need to make Reconstruction look like a slap on the wrist after all of this is over. This person also works in healthcare which is horribly understaffed.

I spoke to a Yemeni queer man held in ICE detention for 3 years under BIDEN. Denied care while he was having seizures. ICE wasn't invented Jan 2017 or 2025. Trump is awful. AWFUL. But this continues if you DON'T STOP TREATING HUMAN LIFE like a fucking football game between blue and red shirts.

If you didn't vote Dem, you helped make this:@airbagmoments.bsky.social · last wk.

If you didn't vote for Harris, you helped this happen. Live with that and make better choices in the future.

Haitian man fired because a person stepped into *help* and shot off her mouth. Americans, STFU! You don't even *know* anyone's real immigration status. The laws are incredibly complex. Many times when people go to court, they're freed. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT PEOPLE'S IMMIGRATION STATUS! MYOB!

Just got off the phone with him. An older woman in the building he works at tipped off his employer by "advocating" for him calling his company to say how good of a worker he is & how TPS is ending but they shouldn't fire him 🙃.
