He worked hard to give me a home. ICE took his: How I lost my father to deportation
Deportation has taken away the father I once knew and given me back a person I no longer recognize.

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

What if I told you that the University of Michigan was one of the most infamous offenders of faculty and student rights during McCarthyism? It feels like their current moves targeting student protestors are in alignment with this dubious honor.

The historian in me feels the need to note that contests between cities and their rural hinterland are not new things and they do not generally go great for the rural folks.
California alone produces a third of all the food America eats. So this is a lie.
But let’s break down the food produced by the red states:
Guess what percent is harvested by people from Latin America?

I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Les contractuels ce sont: ATER, profs associés, contrats LRU (ATER qui ne disent pas leurs noms sans limite de nombre d'années), doctorants contractuels avec mission d'enseignement, enseignants invités etc. Ils représentent quand même aujourd'hui presque 15000 ETP, 10% du total d'heures.

Oooh, @kaine.senate.gov thinks a vote they know they'll lose is a win.
It's not.
Holding the line until the Reps gave in on the ACA subsidies would have been a win. But that's gone now.

Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

Currently doing some marking. A reminder to everyone involved in archives and collections: digitisation is not preservation. If I digitise a box of records and put the files on a USB stick I haven't preserved a thing. It's all about what you do with the files post-digitisation. #archives #digipres

Non, ils ne sont pas obligés. Pas mal de concours d'enseignants ne remplissent pas, parce qu'ils n'ont pas assez de candidatures compétentes.
Je ris : un journaliste sur Culture interroge Maalouf sur le piètre niveau des écrivains élus à l'académie (genre Neuhoff) et Maalouf ne les défend pas du tout, il dit que toute institution humaine fait des erreurs et qu'ils sont obligés de prendre des gens qui candidatent 🤣
