In South Korea, protest is a ubiquitous and essential form of political expression. Against Abandonment is at once a chronicle of the life-and-death character of protesting precarity in South Korea and a searing examination of repertoires of solidarity for upending injustice

DHS has admitted in court it doesn’t have authority to terminate student non-immigrant status, even when it changes or terminates their SEVIS status, contrary to the info provided by unis to affected students.
This admission, a tactic to evade a lawsuit, is grounds for schools to defend students.

I took this photo the day before the #lawildfires started. I regularly cycle up to Lake Hollywood but on this day, I went all the way up to the back of the Hollywood sign. My heart goes out to the humans and the wildlife that has been lost in these recent fires. Devastated but hoping for the best.
