just keep thinking about my colleague's @racketmn.com piece that Fort Snelling, this building where ICE is HQ'd, is the site of a concentration camp, part of institutionalized genocide against the Dakota.

i do not think that rhetorical moderation is necessary when you are dealing with an unaccountable and deeply unpopular national police force that shoots people in the face when minimally provoked. reform is not a useful or winning framing
i think the public-facing message re: ICE needs to be something like “let’s pump the brakes and investigate these bad apples” and then you take power and wipe the whole thing out

@historians.org leadership’s refusal to let its own membership vote on a resolution on academic freedom is an anti-democratic act of moral and political cowardice. The organization can’t credibly oppose Trump’s assaults on academic freedom while repressing the freedom of its own members.

I've been disturbed for years about how libraries have handed their patrons over to Libby etc without any real debate or public disclosure of privacy risks, and this tech dystopia we're in is so bleak

obviously I don't feel bad for this guy but there is something weirdly poignant about lying about being a botanist. "what's my job? uh, in general, I am arrayed with the forces of... life. yeah, that's it. not the forces of death."
