My best organizing tip for academic workers (& all workers, but academics esp. can struggle to internalize this IME) is to go to campus workers with less power than you as the *first* step of any campaign. Going to deans etc w/ more power cedes your own power to the boss & shrinks your coalition.

“I haven’t done anything,” Miranda said to the officers in the video.

“Turn around or you’re going to get the dog,” an officer said. “We’re going to put you in cuffs, or you’re going to get the dog.”

Masked ICE agents threatened an American citizen, put him into an unmarked van, held him for several hours, and dropped him back off at his workplace, without ever explaining why they abducted him

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Trump (1) reveals he doesn't know what habeas corpus is and (2) punts to Noem, who famously revealed her own ignorance at a Senate hearing when she defined habeas corpus as "a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Not being from the USA, xmas dinner was the big turkey event with roast potatoes, brussels sprouts, Yorkshire puddings, chipolata sausages, sage & onion stuffing. Desserts included xmas pudding flaming in brandy with a sixpence hidden inside.

None of your American green beans in mushroom soup. LOL
