War happens in policy-making, when folks have the basics. War is about far more than guns and ammo. And the US is at war with itself.

Fascism is when Donald Trump bans 1600+ vetted Afghan Muslim refugees who helped USA against the Taliban—but now issues an Executive Order accepting white Afrikaner South Africans as refugees to the USA. It was never about justice or national security. It was always about advancing white supremacy.

I don’t know if this is the plan. But if it is, let me rain on that parade. Elon will never allow Democrats to win the mid-terms. If the plan is not to get him out of our govt systems now, it’s a wrap.

Of course, what is being cut at Sonoma State is mostly the humanities programs including graduate degrees in languages, history, and the arts. 😒

Public works boards, trustees, regents, and commissioners have far more influence than most people realize. Black Woman on Board reveals the power of trustees to either support or thwart diversity along with supporting policies to make education affordable. edsource.org/2025/how-cal...

As much as I hated Wikipedia as a college professor, I admit that it is a useful resource that has gotten better over time. Donated to hold onto alternative sources of info.

This 🧵 by @marthasjones.bsky.social is a worthy read about birthright citizenship and how it affects us all.

This is LAFD Chief Kristin Crawley, 1st woman chief. MAGAs are labeling her as a DEI hire, ignoring her 22-year career which spans nearly every conceivable position in LAFD 🙄. Met her in 2018. Great leader in face of extreme conditions and challenges. Thank you Chief Crawley and LAFD!

And if these devastating LA fires weren’t enough, we had a bomb threat on my campus and were evacuated as a precaution. 🫤Fortunately, the library got the all clear and back to work tomorrow.

Comfort care for my beautiful momma. So glad I made it here while she was still conscious. She knew who I was and repeatedly said “I love you”. That brought me a measure of lightness and peace in the midst of grieving.

"It is time to stop assuming good faith in the free speech debate. The right has weaponized free speech, framing campus debates in a way that resonates with liberals to destroy the very things liberals purport to care about."
