Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references.
It's brutal.
And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

When you search it on the map and see it with your own eyes and zoom back and forth, you realize once again how the colonial project translates first of all as violence on the land. And, as such, decolonization should start with #landback everywhere.
