I will never understand extremely selective universities saying “we have the best students in the world” and then ranking them ordinally. Imposing a distribution on grades is not the only solution. A uniform grading scale would be useful. Do away with grades and use scores— out of 100 points, say?

The one thing we can all expect is to see wildly inaccurate and totally unverifiable numbers about the TPUSA Halftime show. Ignore the reports that is was all prerecorded. Say anything to defend a narrative of cultural dominance.

When you exist in your own reality, you make your own facts.

Did You Know: More than 90% of hotels in the United States refused to take reservations from Black guests? The Green Book Project tells the story Black travel during Jim Crow. Share your story and contribute to the Community Map: greenbookproject.osu.edu

It started at a sugar plantation and ended with a roll call of the Americas. It was epic.

Surya Bonaly was also the template for how tennis treated Venus Williams and Serena Williams when they debuted a few years after Bonaly was on the Olympic scene. The way they described her skating was atrocious and openly racist.

Free file would be a progressive system. Most people have relatively straightforward tax returns, even with EITC, unemployment benefits, etc. Those who would need to pay would have significantly more complicated tax situations, which would tend to be higher income filers.

“Black” is being flagged as a potentially prohibited word violating anti-DEI law at multiple Florida Universities. My interview this week with @grundrza.bsky.social documents his event being flagged because the flyer said “Black.”

Racial authoritarianism is here, it’s just unequally distributed.
In practice, my chair received a message from the provost asking about an event that I organized that included 3 sociologists, one from the Anglophone Caribbean, one from South Africa, and Michael Burawoy, because it had the word “Black” in the title. Black was interpreted as…I don't know if they were drawing on the identity politics part of the law, or on the part I'll talk about next.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

They’ve been on this since he was first announced. Long before the Grammys and even before the ICE surges. Do they think we’re stupid?

This is incredibly obtuse. Bad Bunny’s halftime performance has been a conservative talking point since it was first announced.

Performance by a natural born American citizen “will illustrate the nation’s immigration” in what way?

What are you not saying?!?

The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) stepped down from his position as Senate Minority Leader position after praising Strom Thurmond’s 1948 Dixiecrat presidential campaign in 2002.

Today Republicans are defending and deflecting the president’s post of a video depicting a Black President and First Lady as apes.

They are simply going to explain it away and tell you what us and isn’t racist.

It gets to the epistemology of racism. In a world where only certain people know the truth they will tell you what is and isn’t. Any attempts to do otherwise are literally unintelligible. I’m tired.

I need the “this isn’t who we are” people to explain how Trump’s lack of apology has been so vigorously supported by folks telling us that the real problem is not knowing what racism *actually* is…🤔🧐🥴

If you thought for one second that MAGA would be uncomfortable with the President Trump circulating blatantly racist imagery I really cannot help you.

I'm working on a paper today critiquing E. Franklin Frazier's description of racism as a pathology. Racism is functional and advantageous for its practitioners.

They will likely succeed because of message discipline and a media that is simply not up to the task of good journalism. If you thought this was a game changer you have no idea how this works.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

I will never forget being told “we need to humble ourselves and hear what people are saying about economic inequality” and I never side-eyed anyone or anything harder in my life.
