Badge of dishonor: “Among the universities recommended to remain in the program are Columbia University, MIT, University of Michigan, University of Pennsylvania, University of Virginia and University of Texas at Austin.”
It’s an honor for GW to be on this list of schools to be banned from State Dept programs for having decent hiring and ethical practices. Hope it stays that way. Complying with Trump’s bigoted demands and open racism is shameful.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Less than 2 weeks until publication. I’m still busy as hell working in concert with my community to respond to a federal invasion and regular attacks on our neighbors and their defenders. Any help getting the word out about this book, which I believe can help us all right now, is deeply appreciated.
My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.
