We love "Daughters of the Dust" but Julie Dash also made Illusions (1982) about a Black woman (Lonette McKee) who passed as white & worked as Hollywood studio exec in 1942, using position to push progressive agenda. Here, she's with friend whose singing voice is used for a white starlet. #BlackSky

months ago I wrote in a syllabus that tomorrow would feature an activity called “embracing obsolescence.” then I forgot to prepare anything for that activity. so tonight I am scrambling to charge old cell phones and nintendo 3ds consoles gathered from around the house 🙃

Reading and responding to student writing IS the core duty of writing teachers. Outsourcing it to an algorithm that can't read is choosing to give up on that duty. The fact that teachers are responsible for too many students to do this duty is not an excuse! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

“The economics department is one of the few departments that has decided not to stand with the union and instead scab their courses, so perhaps we will all be taking Econ 101 together in a classroom where we can’t even get desk space.” 🔥🔥🔥

So the official position of the white supremacist government is, unsurprisingly, that “race is a biological reality.” Apparently, not believing this is “insane.” Important to note that for fascists, ALL the identity categories (race, sex, etc.) have to be “real” and frozen so they can manage them

Faculty at colleges and universities can also spearhead ICE Watches along with students and staff. Use the Siembra NC playbook.

US universities never took the precarious status of Global South students seriously. As an Iranian I had my bank account closed, I was banned from entry when away for fieldwork, and much more. The university could not be bothered. What’s happening now is MUCH WORSE, but still the same response.

one response to these horrifying ICE kidnappings is “this shouldn’t happen without due process.” but the correct response is and always has been abolish ICE — this is not an entity that should exist period

It is truly sick that universities have preyed on international students for exploitatively exorbitant tuition fees and now they are allowing those same students to be thrown to the wolves with nary a fucking complaint.

I think its time for an escort system. If you are a student who is active on Palestine and who is not a citizen, or if your friend is, you need to walk with them so that if this happens someone is there to advocate and witness at least. This is vicious.
