Here’s another clip of the moment a protester went to kick back a gas canister and was met with a ton of fire from Border Patrol agents. One of those canisters hit me in the foot.

those protests are good examples of what we should and shouldn't do moving forward.
Shout out to the Dads who showed up with leaf blowers to blow the tear gas away from the protestors <3 we should all still wear our own PPE to guard against gases, but that was so cool of them

Civilians are now cheering and yelling when ICE fires upon them. They’re treating the tear gas, smoke bombs and pepper grenades like fireworks. This is actually hilarious mocking of ICE.

This is a full standoff between LA civilians and ICE now. The civilians are in control of the exit. ICE is mobbed up unable to leave. Civilians continue to barricade them in and all vehicle exits.

Columbia canceled my class on Race and Media, but I'm teaching it anyway.
All thanks to people power and community support-- especially from you all on Bluesky!
Happy to announce I'll be teaching Race Media and International Affairs 101 online-- hosted by D.C.'s MLK Jr. Memorial Library!

We should care about little girls for their own sake, not for the political convenience of their claims.

Don't get me wrong, any consequences for all of them are good and I'll take them.
I'm just upset that if we had a society that actually supported people we would just...be so far from where we are right now.

So I'm having fucking feelings that people now finally give a shit eight years later because a white male billionaire said it.

So I'm scrubbing some counters and Gay Goth Scene comes on and I hear "gaygacy" and think wow, that is an unexpected but fantastic portmanteau. Alas...
