Sociology is too strong.
I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

I do not think the most significant cultural shifts will come from a World War, Class War, Race War, or whatever other battle people weirdly fantasize about. I think it’ll be an integration of the idea that children are people and not the property of their parents.

David Ellison Warns of “Monopolistic” Netflix in Open Letter to U.K. Creatives
David Ellison, chairman and CEO of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, took the war of words and his message across the pond on Thursday, publishing an open letter to the creative community and audiences in the U.K. with a set of commitments, should the company succeed in acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), which has struck a mega-deal to sell its studios and streaming businesses to Netflix. Among the list are commitments to the theatrical and home video, the preservation of HBO, and “increased creative output.”

that stage of society when school children share the bond of having endured the camps together
The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.
