What we talk about when we talk about Anne Frank hiding from ICE

Can you please the entire editorial board of US Today was caught in an orgy involving a goat, 3 rubber chickens, 2 live ones, "the largest black dildo ever created", and 500 pounds of vanilla pudding?

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

The median position for ICE is not "abolish" amongst my people. I won't fedpost but it involves a wooden platform and a ditch. You fill in the blanks... almost like you are playing hangman.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

If you are a member of the public and want to get ahold of me, calling my department nonstop, harassing our admin, my Chair, and my colleagues ain't it. Yes I work at a public university. No I do not owe you my time. I have multiple stalkers each semester. Being a public facing academic is awesome.
