Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.
Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.
This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.

Apparently the House budget bill *still* includes language aimed at barring federal court enforcement of most contempt findings. I wrote May 9 about how this not only seeks to get Trump agencies off the hook for recent misconduct, but imperils a wide range of vital legal and constitutional rights.

This is completely terrifying, a huge violation of the first amendment, and part of the coopting of a distorted version of anti-semitism to justify persecution of people speaking out against Israel's genocide. And the broader pursuit of a police state.

p.s. Since everyone's talking about reading the classics or whether we should, there's was an innovative project in the 1980s. Young artist/teacher Tim Rollins would read the books aloud to "at risk" South Bronx kids, who drew while listening, and then they made more art together.
