Less comfortable distractions. I hate hotels but always get more work done in them. It’s dumb.

My Presidential Lecture “Disruptive Dualities?: The Transformative Potential of Disillusionment Within a Broken Academy” is now up.
If you have any moderate interest in higher ed or its future, it’s a must watch despite my being 7 days post flu when I gave the talk. 😭

Why does US Women's Hockey always have to stress us out when playing Canada in the gold medal games? I need them to correct this, Im getting too old for this anxiety. #Olympics #Hockey
look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british
It enhances other flavors, helping the lessor flavors dance better.
Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.
ICE MUST GO‼️

I called it as soon as a cis straight white man was a victim, things would move. But only ceremonially. They are targeting homeless shelters today here. Is it too naive to hope we will come out better? Even if, all I got is that hope.
Hey, this Bovino thing is a pathetic attempt to make all these horrors the fault of one guy, and it would be a serious, serious crisis if people fell for it. ICE needs to be abolished, bc this - terror, murder - are what it exists for. Nothing else. This is just an attempt to mollify us. Stay angry
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
Minnesota is the best of us.
Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”
It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."
Screenshot of an X post by Acyn. The post quotes a dialogue: “Jennings: Let’s not get our knickers in a twist here” followed by “McGowan” saying the attitude is “insane,” calling for bringing people down regardless of party, and alleging a “giant cabal” that doesn’t have to listen to the law. At the bottom is a TV clip still with a man on the left and a woman speaking on the right, with on-screen text including “SUDDEN REVERSAL.”
She nailed Jennings to the wall with this. Good for her.
Comrade Maddow
Yeah people don’t understand how insane the surge here is. The insane videos you see are examples of stuff happening dozens or hundreds of times daily. (Although, again, there are signs they are departing for outstate after being roundly rejected by the community).
No. The problem has been very specifically one thing: if they move in any kind of detectable force, they pick up a tail within minutes, and then it often grows and grows until you have a dozen cars following two ICE SUVs, making so much noise that the entire neighborhood knows they’re there.
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO
this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

I always share how I found my reason to keep going even as I still have moments trying me to give up. The platitudes are constant & unhelpful in my life as a chronic ILL. I reach out to the real people I know will understand. U can be a person for someone, just listen. Thx Brit, for being 1 of mine.
She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.
I have considered making sad "for just $19 a month you can support ..." calls for support.
Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.
Have you never met someone from Chicago??? All they do is talk about how great it is.
