When I get stuck writing a thing, I give myself space to write using whatever language comes to me (regardless of whether the outlet will be ok with my word choice). I just went on an absolute tear about faculty in our present moment and now I'm gonna need to heavily revise so as not to be rude.

Do any of you for campuses that have given you *any* guidance on being prepared in any way for the many ways these violent abhorrent ICE raids and kidnapping might impact your campus? If so can you DM me? You can’t prepare for everything but Georgia state ain’t told us *shit*. Sitting fucking ducks.

Will die on this hill, but I think the reason the shareholders could grab this much power is white folks got pissed off when “our grandkids” had to include black ones.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
