Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

Fuck ICE. Today I read that they "wrongly" raided someone's house and shot their dog.

The Bulwark @thebulwark.com · 1d

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

The Bulwark @thebulwark.com · 1d

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

@timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

From tonight's walk. Sunset and the San Gabriels. And Lili.

A gold and pink sunset soaring over silhouetted suburban homes.

The San Gabriel Mountains, red in the sunset, rising over the SGV, with palm trees and houses in the foreground, with Lili, her back to us, looking out over it all in a yellow dress.

If you’ve never been to a big protest like No Kings before: It feels great to be part of a big gathering of people who want to change things. It sparks joy, and resolve for the long fight ahead. Sometimes there are dance parties. You could be the one who starts the dance party! Just show up!

Angus Johnston @angus.bsky.social · 1d

If you can show up on October 18, you should. The country is shifting. The battleship is turning. And while, yes, usually mass street protests don't do much, there are exceptions.

And sometimes those exceptions go down in history.

This is how AI works. It has given me titles and summaries of non-existent science papers written by people who exist who didn't write them.

🐕 ASPIN - From my book, DOGS OF THE WORLD. Filipino free-ranging dogs used to be called Askal ("street dog") Their name was changed to Aspin ("native dog") to increase people's empathy for them in relation to more coveted pedigree dogs.

Watched Killers of the Flower Moon last night (with @nathanrlong.bsky.social ) after I had just finished reading the book. So much evil. I recommend the book which revealed so much more and at least didn't try to elicit sympathies for Ernest Burkhardt.
