One thing I do for @accessdetracktrack.bsky.social is organize a visit to a detracking school at annual meeting. It’s disturbing how many people are having to cancel last minute because they don’t feel safe traveling to the US or their US-based institution can’t/won’t pay for travel after all.

ERIC is also an archive of educational thought and research running back decades. Think of it as blowing up a library, which authoritarians do to consolidate their power.

Both VA Senators have been avoiding this issue of ICE and/or ICE impersonators kidnapping people without warrants or badges into unmarked vehicles but now it happened in Charlottesville so they can’t anymore. #SicSemperTyrannis
