Academics/Faculty at DIS Study Abroad,Duke Ph.D., ventures in refugee law and migration studies
I am sad for the future of Texas A&M. Some of my most meaningful career experiences were at this institution and my colleagues and their students deserve so much better.
The definition of "race ideology," which will likely be banned at Texas A&M, includes "accus[ing a race or ethnicity] of being oppressors in a racial hierarchy or conspiracy."
That's functionally a ban on teaching vital swaths of American history.

The Texas A&M University System will vote on Thursday on whether to prohibit faculty at its 11 universities from teaching “race or gender ideology” unless those lessons are pre-approved by each campus president or a delegate.

The fact that US law currently permits this is all we need to know about how all nationalisms bend towards fascism.
Focus on "foreigners" allows nation-states to outsource responsibility for their many failures. "Foreign states," "foreign gulags," "foreign people," etc.

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.
We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.

The H1-B visa thing is, like everything else in the Trump administration, set up to carve up exceptions for friends and punish enemies. It’s the authoritarian thru-line that stitches everything together.

Reminds me of this American Indian prophecy:
When the last tree is cut,
the last fish is caught,
and the last river is polluted;
when to breathe the air is sickening,
you will realize, too late,
that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money
When the last tree is cut,
the last fish is caught,
and the last river is polluted;

This is like a caricature of what happens when a right-wing billionaire takes power. What next? Legalizing the clubbing of baby seals? www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

I _think_ this portion of the “restoring history” EO is meant to compel restoration of Confederate monuments. Aside from this being mere guidance, though, I see a snag: how does it “perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history” to remove shrines to people who rebelled against us?

Hell ya, Denver!
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

“You are a traitor.”
An absurd and insulting thing to say to anyone who posts what Senator Kelly did.
And even more insulting since he served as a U.S. Navy captain and a NASA astronaut.
Kelly was a combat pilot and flew 39 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf War.

And this is how he is now being publicly treated by US/Musk.

USAID is an independent agency under US law. Those laws have not been repealed, they have not been struck down in court. Every day that its evisceration stands is a continuing attack on Constitutional order.
Here is United States law regarding the President's attempts to close our development assistance agency in secret over the weekend.
It is illegal. No ambiguity.
Americans decide with their actions, today, if the US is a country of laws or—something else.

Zelenskyy's character can be judge more directly by how he treats others and whether you think he's protected his country. From what I've seen, he has treated Americans with respect. His attire is to remind people he's at war, not unlike Churchill wearing a siren suit to the White House in 1942.
