I went to the same dentist for years in my 20s and 30s. I left because he made disparaging comments about women, and I called him on it, told him he was being “sexist.” I remember his assistants freezing as I said the word.
Funny story! He’s in the Epstein files!

"The authority the political branches possess over immigration does not include the power to seize liberty first and justify confinement later. Due process is not a courtesy extended at the government's convenience. Due process is the condition that makes custody lawful in the first place.”
Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin — a Clinton appointee — excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees.
"This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law."

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Immediately after this exchange, the Republican chairing the hearing banged his gavel and yelled at Rep. McIver about decorum. They will use "decorum" to shut down any inquiry that makes any of these lying murderers uncomfortable, but never to quell their own members acting unhinged.

Ida B. Wells's writing to document lynchings is something rare, even though lynching was commonplace. One reason* for that is: it is hard to write about. It it hard to read about. The challenge of being a writer is harder to meet when the thing you are writing about is so, so painful
Shout-out to all my colleagues who are also teaching about lynching, Reconstruction, and the 14th amendment right now. Give yourself space, it's hard, essential work.

"Warren stated that job outcomes were a 'key factor' in the decision-making process—within the previous decade, only a 'tiny percentage' of PhD students who graduated from the LCS program went on to receive tenure track at an R1 institution."
