Once again, it is *faculty*—not administrators—who brought this case and won. Including UC Faculty Association chapters of the AAUP.

Excited to read this! Thanks @joesoss.bsky.social & @joshuapage.bsky.social

Thanks, Don!

The brain tricks us constantly. It mistakes scrolling and "seeking information" for DOING THINGS. That is not doing. You have to act.

Outstanding! Congratulations.

Panelists will include Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, George Mason University Law Professor Ilya Somin, and UMN Professor of Anthropology Karen Ho. With registration at the link above, the event is free and open to the public, both for in-person and online.

For those who might be interested: The Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the Humphrey School will host a book launch event for my new book with Josh Page, Legal Plunder: The Predatory Dimensions of Criminal Justice, on September 19, noon-1:00. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Thank you!

Please buy this book and read it. The system is rigged against non-White American citizens. Soss’s prior book describes vividly how policy penalizes the poor. At 30% off, brilliance at a bargain!

Thank you @chriswarcraft.bsky.social !

Just finished the intro to this book (Legal Plunder) and I can already tell it’s gonna be a good one. @joshpage.bsky.social & @joesoss.bsky.social are diving deep into how the government and businesses use policing, punishment, and immigrant detention to extract revenues from communities.

Folks in the DC area: In addition to the Politics and Prose event I posted earlier (Friday at 7), @joshpage.bsky.social and I will lead a DSA Night School class on Legal Plunder this Thursday - MLK Memorial Library at 6:30. We'd love to have you join us! actionnetwork.org/events/legal...

The event will be held at the Politics & Prose Bookstore's Wharf location,
610 Water Street, SW
Washington, D.C. 20024

DC Folks: Please join us at Politics & Prose this Friday 7pm for a discussion of Legal Plunder: The Predatory Dimensions of Criminal Justice (@uchicagopress.bsky.social). @joshpage.bsky.social and I will be in discussion with @nazgolg.bsky.social, Director of Research @sentencingproject.bsky.social

Next session: Legal Plunder!

Where will you be in the US, and when? I'd love to see you

I hope you keep it up. I think we need beauty to sustain ourselves in hard times. Music, comedy, literature... all the arts. We're fighting many things at once, including the risk of losing touch with our own humanity, which we need in order to recognize and fight inhumanity in the broader world.

You can never bend the knee enough to appease an authoritarian bully.

This is a devastating blow to academic freedom & freedom of speech at Columbia.

Never in the history of this nation has there been an administration so intent on the utter destruction of higher education as we know it.

I want to be clear: this is what American prisons are like.

I spent years posting about the humanitarian crisis in U.S. prisons. The criminal legal system consigns Americans who are incarcerated to live like this FOR YEARS. DECADES.
