White supremacy is when Republican men and women in their 20s & 30s praising Hitler, genocide, and rape are “just kids”—but 18-year-old Michael Brown was no angel, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was a thug, 16-year-old Kalief Browder was a criminal, and 12-year-old Tamir Rice should’ve known better.😐

No but seriously where are the hundreds people that disappeared from the monstrosity of the so called “Alligator Alcatraz”? Why aren’t people talking about it? I can find very little and it’s from weeks ago!

Are we at the disappearing phase of this horror?!

I genuinely want to know how we, as educators, protect our trans students when the federal government is classifying them as a terrorist threat.

Recognizing Palestine. Recognizing genocide in Palestine. Ok, so are you going to stop it? Are you going to intervene? To withdraw your material support at the very least? Otherwise it’s just words.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court — over the objection of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson — allows the Trump administration’s racial profiling of people working certain types of jobs in its immigration raids during litigation.
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES - No. 25A169 - KRISTI NOEM, SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, ET AL. U. PEDRO VASQUEZ PERDOMO, ET AL. ON APPLICATION FOR STAY [September 8, 2025] The application for stay presented to JUSTICE KAGAN and by her referred to the Court is granted. The July 11, 2025 order entered by the United States District Court for the Central District of California, case No. 2:25-cv-5605, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court. JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting. In early June, the Government launched immigration enforcement raids across Los Angeles and its surrounding counties. During the raids, teams of armed and masked agents pulled up to car washes, tow yards, farms, and parks and began seizing individuals on sight, often before asking a single question. A Federal District Court found that these raids were part of a pattern of conduct by the Government that likely violated the Fourth Amendment. Based on the evidence before it, the court held that the Government was stopping individuals based solely on four factors: (1) their apparent race or ethnicity; (2) whether they spoke Spanish or English with an accent; (3) the type of location at which they were found (such as a car wash or bus stop); and (4) the type of job they appeared to work. Concluding that stops based on these four factors alone, even when taken together, could not satisfy the Fourth Amendment's requirement of reasonable suspicion, the District Court temporarily enjoined the Government from continuing its pattern of unlawful mass arrests while it considered whether longer-term relief was appropriate. Instead of allowing the District Court to consider these troubling allegations in the normal course, a majority of 2 NOEM v. VASQUEZ PERDOMO SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting this Court decides to take the once-extraordinary step of staying the District Court's order. That decision is yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent. * * The Fourth Amendment protects every individual's constitutional right to be "free from arbitrary interference by law officers." Brignoni-Ponce, 422 U.S., at 878. After to-day, that may no longer be true for those who happen to look a certain way, speak a certain way, and appear to work a certain type of legitimate job that pays very little. Because this is unconscionably irreconcilable with our Nation's constitutional guarantees, I dissent.

One new study says the American Dream now costs $5 million. Another says nearly 70% of the country has lost faith in it. The Dream has died, but maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe now we’ll have a chance to dream about something better than a McMansion in the burbs.

What radicalized me? One example: Learning that SAT prep was more about HOW to take the test, rather than the content of the test.

Meta explicitly enabled its chat bots to engage in sexually explicit chats with young children.

This company is fundamentally evil.

arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
This screenshot claims that a Reuters investigation revealed Meta allowed its chatbots to engage in “sensual” chats with minors, according to an internal document titled "GenAI: Content Risk Standards." It alleges that the document included examples of permissible chatbot behavior involving romantic engagement with kids, and that CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushed for more engaging chatbot interactions after finding cautious designs “boring.”

Leaders of the National Education Association overruled their own membership to reject a resolution that would have cut ties with the ADL.

This seems likely to catalyze a movement within NEA to oust current leadership. www.axios.com/2025/07/19/g...

John Armstrong, Senior Bureau Official in the Bureau of Consular Affairs, testified today in #AAUPvRubio that *ANY* criticism of Israel is grounds for visa revocation visa and deportation.

Armstrong says emphatically that criticism of Israel could well be grounds for losing your visa. He lists some possible criticisms:

-Saying Israel is "worse than Hitler with what they're doing in Gaza"
-a statement calling for an arms embargo on Israel, depending on other related comments

Reflecting on my academic experiences and realizing that my critical eye was shaped through ethnic studies and media studies. Maybe I need to reconnect with that to feel energized in this domain again.

Not only does this bill strip healthcare from millions of people, steal our money for billionaires, and explode the deficit by trillions.

It also gives $170 billion to the regime’s deportation efforts.

More ICE. More kidnappings. More concentration camps.

Their evil has no limits—this is fascism.

Most things that people with power tell you are "unrealistic" are in fact not. What they actually are is counter to THEIR INTERESTS. You shouldn't swallow their propaganda. It's silly.

It's funny how universities and academia are positioned in the U.S. as liberal bastions here to 'radicalize' youth -- when in reality, they're reflective of the business of education where shady practices are actively deployed to negatively impact marginalized groups.

The law won't save us. Nearly all authoritarian regimes legitimize their actions within the law and make their acts legal.

More lawyers need to realize this.
This image is a screenshot of a tweet by Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) discussing a characteristic of fascism. The tweet states: "The most sinister aspect of fascism is that as it consolidates the powers of the state, it then uses those powers to reinforce its legitimacy. Intensely violent, but legal actions can be undertaken while resistance is portrayed as an attack on the state itself and criminalized." At the bottom, there is an archive label that reads: "Archived from July 20, 2022, at 11:26 PM."
