Wow. The University of Chicago, a world-class institution whose humanities faculty in the past has included Homi Bhabha & Lauren Berlant & Ralph Ellison & Hannah freaking Arendt, is getting rid of basically every graduate department involving the acknowledgment that other cultures & languages exist.

Here’s what I want from Dem leadership RIGHT NOW:
1. Say out loud you’re aware we’re in a Constitutional crisis — a state of the situation.
2. A system to triage Trump admin’s EOs, legislation, and actions.
3. A demonstrable effort to listen to your constituents.
4. Your action plan.

Jimmy Carter was right about climate change. He was right about the Mideast conflict and apartheid in Israel and South Africa and the ongoing plagues of poverty and racism. It was he not Reagan who freed our hostages in Iran. A true man of God, he died beloved, which not many presidents do or will.

Let me say this again: the AI my W. Indian student used to correct her syntax (Claude I think) also removed every mention of Franz Fanon from her work! I suspect this is because an engineer somewhere decided Fanon's ideas are controversial? WTF!

These are two amazing artists. The fact one of America's foremost modern Jewish chroniclers of the Holocaust is turning to Gaza should also not be lost on anyone
Maus author Art Spiegelman’s next comic will be about Gaza, in collaboration with Joe Sacco. He thinks he will struggle to find a publisher in the United States.
