the idea of professors working so assiduously to get students deported just is wild. Deportation is a black mark on your immigration history, and its very difficult to move at all after deportation. They are destroying these young people's lives, and its all done with such self righteous glee.

The thing about liberalism is that it is rooted in and routed through a narrative of US history that is wholly phantasmic. This country set up torture archipelagos all over the world. It funded and armed death squads from East Timor to El Salvador. Trump is the telos of a long trajectory.

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal. It does NOT only affect transgender athletes. The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.

Delmar and Cohoes were both Sundown Towns. Fascinating. (The Klan chapter map is also interesting for how it maps onto the locations of state prisons (Wawarsing) and also communities in which large numbers of NYPD live (Pearl River.)

This book deserves to be better known. It's a fascinating account of cotton processing technology from the early common era to the mid-1800s written with exemplary clarity. Completely dispels the legend of Eli Whitney.
