I’m sorry but “the Dutch aren’t white” is the fucking funniest thing I’ve ever heard 😂

Ime this generation of students is massively pro labor in a way that I think doesn’t show up yet in popular culture. When we went on strike every single one of my students was like hell yeah. I got an email from a student I’d never spoken to one on one that just said “solidarity forever” ❤️

It’s obviously designed to exclude diplomats, who are NOT subject to our laws in all cases. Everyone else is.
Unless their argument is that if you’re not a documented immigrant you’re not subject to the laws of the US…

Othello sits and has a chat with Desdemona. Orpheus just does as he’s told.

First, as one of those who would likely be sorted into the "loud voices" bucket, I would say: fuck you.
Second, and more importantly, I'd invite you to imagine this arrest happened in Harvard Yard instead of a community college parking lot, and ask yourself what today's CHE coverage would look like.

Yes. It’s so discouraging.

to do this to our students because they’re not wealthy, they don’t have powerful parents to push back.
The CSUs bring people out of poverty by the skin of our teeth. And we do it more than any other university.
How dare you gamble that for a quick buck.

I oversaw global health programs at @USAID.
They reached 100s of millions of people, added 6 extra years to the lifespan of children in partner countries, and were eradicating health threats worldwide.
What insanity and cruelty to break that.

The funny thing is that even in US-based crime and spy stories, gun use is unusual because it makes plot more or less impossible.

This is a very good idea

I’m not starry-eyed over academia. But I did sort of think we were in the same boat, and having the captains go around punching holes in the bottom because Trump made some vague threatening gesture makes me so embarrassed to have anything in common with these cowards.

What subjects do you teach in it? Who can remember? Books have so many words.
Have you had any of these students in prev semesters? You don’t do faces well.
You’re obstructing! You wish you could help but you were born yesterday.
Etc. I tend to freeze, so this persona helps me keep calm.

set foot in a classroom.
X student? Huh, you don’t know your students’ names.
Do you have a class list? 🤷🏻♀️
Isn’t it online? You dunno, sounds computery.
They have a warrant (even a judicial one)! You don’t know anything about warrants, sounds like a job for lawyers over in admin.
