Got that? Not. A. Crime.”

There is no such thing as an ‘illegal immigrant’ | Mehdi Hasan

It's so important for philosophers of race in the US to do comparative work beyond that context, and Germany is a really useful place to look. This special issue looks great.

I cannot imagine advising any Canadian student to attend university in the USA anymore under these circumstances. The price would be to keep your mouth shut.
This is the text of the email just sent to hundreds of international students telling them that their visas have been revoked due to activism or social media posts.
