ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

“When the IOC finally admitted lacrosse to the Games in October 2023, its president, Thomas Bach, noted…’This is the sport —if I may say—of the First Nations of the US.’ Despite that…the IOC stated that its official position was that the Olympic charter prevents Haudenosaunee participation”

“Without a fully functioning Dept. of Education, states will not be held accountable for meeting even the minimum requirements of IDEA… We will see an erosion of the promise of FAPE for students w/ disabilities and fewer ways for parents and advocates to do anything about it.”

Dr. Carla Hayden is a trailblazer who spent her tenure working to make the Library of Congress accessible to all Americans.

It’s no surprise this callous President fired our nation’s librarian. Another attempt to shut our country out from history, progress, and learning.

Information Literacy means examining not just what research claims, but who produces it, where it's published and how it's framed. References to groups imply neutrality and colour-blindness, but they can surreptitiously legitimise race science. #IOEIDL #InfoLit #PsychHist #HistEd
Happy to share that "Race Science in Mainstream Psychology, 1960-2010" with @rhacodactylus.bsky.social is now forthcoming at Quantitative Science Studies. osf.io/preprints/ps...

We need the best educated workforce in the world.

We need the best teachers in the world.

We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do.

No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

Happy National Library Week! If you don't have a library card, go get one. If you have one, use it!

Public goods thrive when everybody uses them. That's why they push kids to charter, home, and private schools, why they sow doubt and fear of libraries and our collections.

Use it or lose it!

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.
