CALL PRITZKER TO DEMAND HE REMOVE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE FROM BROADVIEW:
(Chicago) 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122
(Springfield) 217-782-6830 or 217-782-6831
Hearing impaired (TTY): 888-261-3336

I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.
Illinois State Police are protecting ICE as they move their vehicles out of the Broadview Detention Center. Call Governor Pritzker now to demand that he remove the ISP from Broadview. No state resources to protect kidnappers. Pritzker: Call off the IL state police 312-814-2121

Your state troopers participated in Friday's fascist photo op attack at Broadview. Get the false charges against protesters dropped immediately!

Illinois is not a photo opportunity or warzone, it’s a sovereign state where our people deserve rights, respect, and answers.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Pick one or two lanes and keep at it. You are one person and cannot do everything or take 10 actions a day.

I’m on the ground near Broadview. Because of illegal fence, we are at a nearby intersection.

I'm not asking people to stop talking about Kimmel or the coming repression tied to their latest martyr project—all of this is important. I am just saying, can we work in more discussion of our neighbors being hunted and protesters being gassed, beaten, and shot with pepper balls in Chicagoland?

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

Someone asked me what victory against the forces seeking to occupy Chicago looks like. Obviously, those forces being repelled is the goal, but there are layers to what success looks like in these deteriorating conditions. The first is to successfully resist the normalization of military occupation.

As we prep for the start of fall classes, I want to take a moment to shout out all the wonderful university librarians and library staff who work tirelessly to ensure we have easy, open access to all we need to teach, learn, and research. This professor is grateful for all that you do! 🤎

Sheryl Cole, one of the Texas Democrats who broke quorum:
While on my morning walk in the Mueller neighborhood, my DPS escort, who was forced upon me to track my every movement, threatened to arrest me. He lost me on the trail, got angry about it, and made a scene in front of my constituents on the trail. #txlege 

1/3 While a little shaken up from the incident, I remain undeterred by this intimidation tactic by House Republicans to have a 24/7 state police presence to intimidate me and my colleagues.

2/3 This is also why I stand with my colleague @NicoleCollier95, who has refused to go along with this charade and is still on the House floor 24 hours later.

We will not be intimidated by this, and history will remember this.

3/3

Not enough work on curriculum and pedagogy takes seriously factoring in labor politics for educators and other school staff as part of good design and practice.

If anybody in the learning sciences (or beyond) wants to write a paper for ICLS (International Conference of the Learning Sciences) about how Google and others invoke our field (or a version of it, anyway) to sell their products and what that means for learning scientists, HMU, because I'm curious.

Google is also trying to lock in schools to a particular set of ideas that it claims to be based on "learning science" with its new LearnLM/Guided learning bot. It's a *theory lock-in* to a very attenuated version of learning theory. blog.google/outreach-ini...
