Being a professor in 2026 is authentically responding to a student's curiosity and attempts to connect what we're learning in class to the complexities of their own life, while always assuming that anything you say or write is being recorded and could be sent to politicians and/or other groups.

Bold policy to ramp up negotiations by putting forward something that they are already constitutionally obligated to provide!

Here's the amazing thing folks.

Mamdani, while an EXTRAORDINARY human, is not a unique human.

This could be our mayor. This could be our representative. This could be our senator or our governor.

This could be our President.

This is the government we deserve.

Something I think a lot of people aren't clear on, Liam's parents have followed the legal process of claiming asylum. They are here LEGALLY.

Liam was being used to try to lure someone ELSE out of the house. He and his father were taken because that failed.

Now ... they seek revenge.
