The Paradox of Tolerance stays in full effect in my spaces.

This Vichy behavior should never be forgotten.
Students, be aware that you can’t depend on UNC’s administration to protect you from ICE. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...
UNC-Chapel Hill will ‘comply’ if ICE seeks students on campus, chancellor says
Schools and colleges are no longer considered “sensitive” spaces protected from immigration officials, under a new directive from the Department of Homeland Security.

I love this so much!
At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

This stunt with TikTok genuinely reminds me of an abusive relationship… the constant anxiety and uncertainty is manufactured by the abuser to manipulate and control.
It feels like 170 million Americans were gaslit and abused today.
It’s a gross feeling and I don’t like it.
