I've offered to Zoom with Aaron's class anytime he wants, and that offer goes for any other teacher or professor whose administration has banned WHITE FLIGHT from their classroom.
@kevinmkruse.bsky.social Thought you should know that five days before class starts, Tarleton U (part of the A&M system) explained to me that I wasn't allowed to teach your book "White Flight" because the title has the word "White" in it.

I heard from someone today who interviews families destroyed by online sports gambling. A lot of sons bankrupting their families etc.
I truly don’t know how anybody is making it right now.
I also need something less soul destroying to focus on for a day or two.

The leading cause of death by far among ICE officers is COVID-19.
How dangerous is it really to work for ICE?
According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7
