Exactly. I remember a few times folks (usually not Black) arguing defund was too scary for white folks and my response was that white fear was one of the paths towards Breonna Taylor's and George Floyd's murders. We'd still be in Jim Crow (at least) if we based our politics on white folks' fears

The misuse of “deported” is right up there with the usage of “refugee” in the wake of Hurricane Katrina when it comes to offensiveness.

This. No one ever shifted the public narrative to force radical change by framing their message to appeal to power.

On the one hand, Trump publicly saying he doesn’t know anything about what is going on besides what he’s being told might be a lie to try and shift the buck but on the other the evidence for “he is not actually mentally competent to run the country” is getting stronger by the day

This can't be said enough. The narrative is quickly becoming but universities need fed funds, when it should be that the fed govt needs universities. NCI/NIGMS funding to Harvard/MIT supported research that led to the discovery of Herceptin, a cancer drug that has saved 3 million lives to date! 🧪

Black Jew here to say that some of you are getting a little weird with these “don’t cite the Nazis when you could cite the American example” replies There has never been an authoritarian nationalization of the American academy like what happened in Germany, it’s ok to point to that model!!

White people in general like distancing themselves from their peers and community as a whole instead of taking responsibility and then forcing the onus of change on everyone else trying to prevent and survive the harm coming from their peers and communities.

We really shouldn't be using the word "deport" for this. And I don't think that's just a persnickety thing.

These aren't Trump abductions, these are ICE abductions. ICE - under both parties - and border agents everywhere kidnap people, separate them from loved ones, jail them under torturous conditions & expel them. Also, these aren't "third world gulags', border violence is perfected in imperial core.

I spent the day at the ICE Detention centers where Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil are being unjustly detained. They've been taken thousands of miles away from home and denied due process. I’m here to call for their immediate release and make it known that they haven’t been forgotten.

It shouldn't matter if Trump’s victims have criminal records. If we only defend the “innocent,” the fascists will argue that their victim “was no angel.” An anti-fascist rhetoric that carves out exceptions for imperfect victims is a gift to our opponents. New from me for @us.theguardian.com:

Going to stress again there’s no hypocrisy or contradiction here. Rubio thinks rightist speech should be protected and leftist speech shouldn’t. That’s the principal.

This is horrifying and should, in any reasonable world, lead to immediate impeachment. On a hot mic, before the media arrived, starting around 7:15 on the time index, Trump tells Bukele he is going to start sending "homegrown criminals" to El Salvadoran gulags. This is fascism.

Every single economic indicator points to a serious recession, and Democrats are STILL acting as if Donald Trump has a mandate to govern and they have to be compliant. It’s the most incompetent I’ve ever seen the party act and that’s a HIGH bar.

Over the past 90 years, millions of workers have joined unions that mainly derived their power from a set of legal arrangements with the government. Now, that’s all going away. Unions that have forgotten how to strike aren’t going to make it. inthesetimes.com/article/unio...

This is what the so-called war on “woke” was always about it, convincing people that what happens to the marginalized can’t happen to them. It can, it will. First, challenge citizenship by birth. Then, unconstitutionally expel citizens from their own country. “Deport” is the incorrect word, btw.

This new White House executive order says that the US Attorney General is going to prevent states from implementing democratically passed laws regarding climate change and clean energy. It scarcely needs stating at this point that this is wildly, unambiguously unconstitutional. Dictator shit.

There's a saying in patois that says "those who can't hear must feel" and I'm really annoyed bc Americans as a society are the type to refuse to hear and absolutely need to feel every single thing every time to learn anything. It can never be the easy way here.

Don’t want to nitpick this guy’s intellectual output but you normally sit in front of a screen. He is correct though that sitting behind the screen will trans you which is why it is recommended your screen backs onto a wall to avoid accidental transing if you wander around the wrong side
