congrats to my friend Maisha Winn of @stanfordeducation.bsky.social and fellow from @casbsstanford.bsky.social on her latest book, Futuring Black Lives: Independent Black Institutions and the Literary Imagination

A MUST READ!!

I SENT one today! (If thank-you notes count. If an extremely belated thank-you note, in response to a kind gesture made almost a whole year ago, counts.)

All excellent practices!

If anyone has recently canceled a subscription to an evil corporation’s media product, we’d love to have your support on @autonomynews.co!

Sh*t. Impossible to take it all in.

Clio rocks

SHAME ON THE MEDIA. Do you know who is NOT represented telling OUR stories? People like me and MILLIONS with chronic illness and Lupus, chronic pain, cancer survivors, Seniors and OTHERS who live on FIXED incomes that'll be devastated by health care INCREASES from ACA & CUTS from the BBB. AWARENESS!

Harvard and Google AI mapped one cubic millimeter of a human brain. It took up 1.4 petabytes of storage just in pictures of the specimen. So the entire brain would take ~ 1.6 zettabytes of storage, cost $50 billion, and require 140 acres. It would be the largest data center on the planet— one brain.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Heartening to see that Americans of all ages ARE pushing back against illegal repressive tactics

New from me at The Dispatch: DHS says it's illegal to videotape ICE agents. That's not what the courts say. @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social

“The law does not permit this kind of prolonged deprivation of an individual’s liberty without any allegations or charges of violating the law,” said Jean Elizabeth Reisz, an attorney representing Marin, who is also a USC law professor.

Brooks ‘repeatedly … pointed out her citizenship. … When she continued to object to her arrest, an officer knocked her to the ground, removed the zip-ties and replaced them with handcuffs, locked as tightly as they would go. By the time she was released, … the sun was coming up.’

I am thinking of Bruce Klunder today with this

Isn’t this lie crumbling out from underneath them yet?

Everyone knows it is profiling.

The question is how many people like it this way-

and how many are enraged, horrified soul-sick and disgusted

Glad to see we’re united against the “compact.” For one, I love USC’s cosmopolitanism. I’m proud to have directed dissertations by students from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the U.S., and every term I love having awesome students from China, India, and many other places. Fight on!

There’s a gorgeous full moon over San Francisco tonight

Here's video of ICE shooting Rev David Black, a minister with the Presbytarian Church (USA) in the head with a pepper ball for exercising his First Amendment rights.

"Marburg is notorious for its high death rate, sometimes killing almost 9 out of every 10 patients. But the small country in east-central Africa achieved the lowest death rate ever recorded in an outbreak: 23%."

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Last night’s movie..

▶️ The Mad Doctor of Market Street (1942)

“A mad scientist is forced to leave San Francisco after his experiments become known. He lands on a tropical island, takes control and terrorizes the local populace.”
