A great conversation.
Let me be clear: Iβm glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
Cover of Breaking the World: Black Insecurity and the Horizons of Speculative Fiction by Justin L. Mann. The cover features the Pillars of Creation, a star forming region in the galaxy, in orange and warm hues against a brilliant star-filled sky. The title is directly over the image in a bold, white sans-serif italicized text. The subtitle is smaller in the same white type in the bottom right corner. The author's name appears in the top left corner in the same type.
Save 30% on #NewBook "Breaking the World," in which Justin Mann @scottsvisor.bsky.social analyzes the work of Octavia E. Butler, Colson Whitehead, Janelle MonΓ‘e, and other Black artists to show how their practices of speculation counter the antiblack world of the security state. buff.ly/SKMFg6E
It doesn't get better
Not going to lie, my immediate thought is that that professor should be fired.
My colleagues, do your fucking jobs yourselves like god damn adults. If you don't want to grade it, don't assign it.
morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announ... there's info on who to complain to to try to stop this at the end of the article, lets share this message and try our best to stop it.
It's all of a piece. There's a reason that children & teens torturing and killing helpless animals is a key indicator of later psychopathy.
Even more of a reason to ask

Who'da thunk it? No one with a single brain cell is in charge and the whole world is going to pay
Tr*mp is saying that the Obama agreement legally permitted Iran to develop nukes. He continues the time-honored Republican tradition of making shit up to get the country into Mideast wars.
Yes. All of the ways since Vietnam have been started under Republicans. There's rhetoric you use to prove to male voters you are tough as nails (and I hated that line) and the reality of Biden-Harris policy regarding the U.S. military, which was constraint.
The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war.
Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.
I think people forget that all of the wars we have been in since Vietnam were started under Republicans.
I hate that we have let Palestine suffer, and they are absolutely complicit in that. But that doesn't mean they would out of nowhere start a war that they did everything possible to avoid!
This frankly illogical. Violent regime change in Iran was not their policy, nor was containing nukes by non diplomatic means. Obama-Biden didn't do it (they negotiated the nuclear deal that Trump pulled out of). Biden-Harris didn't do it during their term and in fact got us out of the Mideast.
I remember arguing with someone who claimed that if Al Gore had won over Bush, he would have invaded Iraq. What? That war was a Bush-Cheney concoction that they lied to get us into for their own idiosyncratic reasons (to avenge the elder Bush and oil).
Trump in 2011: βOur president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. Heβs weak and heβs ineffective.β
I'm still in a settlement claim with them for that along with every other academic I know
if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying
People are always like whatβs something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws
Yep.
These new builds in DC go up in a week! Bowser has let these developers do whatever they want. Safety & quality doesn't matter.
I truly love this for you. Now I've got a goal: students whispering positively about my body, lol
Couple this with the fact that Warner Brothers asked the BBC to cut the N word and it refused to comply.
Mike Johnson is Satan hiding behind the face of a simpleton
Exactly.
By 2028 year he will be carrying out executions live in the chamber
