A reminder that they defunded the police that target white collar criminals and corruption — at the exact same that time they lavishly funded the police that killed Alex Pretti.

“I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice.
Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be
counting his bullet wounds.”

This is INSANE. A SCHOOL. “The guy, I’m telling him like, ‘Please step off the school grounds,’ and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he’s trying to push me, and he knocked me down,” a school official, who spoke to MPR News on condition of anonymity said.
“The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.” — www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

So ends an era of ASA’s public facing journal as @contexts.org officially leaves print behind and moves completely online.
I've somehow spent 1/3 of my life w/ @contexts.org starting on the grad board under the leadership of @chrisuggen.bsky.social, Douglas Hartmann, and @lettapage.bsky.social

"While we face an era marked by rising authoritarianism, entrenched racism, and a culture of hyper-individualism, the hope for a more livable society remains real and worth striving for." @mlamont.bsky.social @ruha9.bsky.social @gokceyurdakul.bsky.social

"They remind us that the work of seeing and valuing others begins not with abstract policy but everyday acts of recognition. This vision offers important possibilities, inspiring ongoing effort and collective care."
December 17, 2025 at 11:37 PM
"And yet, scholars like Michèle Lamont and Ruha Benjamin urge us to imagine a different society. Their books challenge us to consider how a more just and livable world might be built, how it emerges and fails, and how it might be reclaimed in moments when justice is endangered."
