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.

When feudal kings talk about "Antifa" or the "radical left," these are euphemisms for Americans who kept learning after high school and developed a positive vision for how our society could be, and these kings are insecure that if this vision spreads to more people, it'll manifest into a reality.

It's dangerous to say, but since it is true, it's more dangerous to not say: The Supreme Court of the United States is not a legitimate body. It's been deliberately and systematically captured by ideologues on behalf of an anti-Constitutional project, and its extremist members have been bribed.

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

The USDA ended help for black farmers impacted by racial discrimination in federal programs last July. President Trump accused President Biden of weaponizing USDA assistance. The USDA secretary has rescinded funding for the program to help black farmers traditionally denied assistance in the past.

In addition to destroying ICE and DHS, we should probably start thinking about a reparations framework. If they keep records on which officers conduct arrests, we could make individual officers liable to pay damages to their victims.

Do you know who owns these AI companies? The fascists. Do you know the enormous amount of environmental damage the data centers cause? Share it if you want but you don’t get to say you’re anti fascist or care about climate change.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

No its not. Because the Dems embracing of right wing fascism will ensure the next candidate the party runs is the whitest white man who ever lived. He’ll be a handsome centrist who is amenable to bigotry and yet makes it look cool in an Obama-era way.

That is Newsom.

And they’ll still lose

Just_CJ @cjwizgeek.blacksky.app · 10h

It is way too early for this. Newsom is the flavor of the month.

Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH @geauxgabrielle.bsky.social · 10h

Unfortunately Gavin Newsom is the frontrunner for PRECISELY the reason the Dems are foundering: he has a backbone.

Pritzer tries too but he doesnt have a shot at the presidency (though he WILL run).
