Samah needs our help. She has four kids. She’s a single mom.
She just messaged “I’m so embarrassed but when you post is the only time anyone donates and I’m desperate.”
She’s not on social media, no way to make a living.
Help if you can. Will pin.

This is not the first US imperial atrocity for oil —let’s not exceptionalize it— but wow is is it awful. And the violation of Venezuelans domestically in the name of a sovereign borders they actually dgaf about.
As Aimee Cesaire put it— the price of imperialism is the empire’s own civilization.
I wrote a piece about the farce of “state sovereignty” and how the UN was always designed to engender a new imperial order to take the place of the original colonial one but it never found a home.
If this sounds like something your pub wants hit me up. Might be time to dig it up…
Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.
Again I'm seeing "they need to boycott the World Cup, the Olympics etc..." but who will organize these things to happen???? Do people know how much it would take for this to happen? Are people in the U.S. planning to co-lead the effort?
I know everyone is just venting. I get it. Yet...
How democratic is your water utility? It turns out that those with elected leaders perform better.

section of text from South Side Weekly's coverage, which says: "The building was purchased by Wisconsin-based investor Trinity Flood in January 2020, according to Cook County records. On October 1, the day after the raid, a judge reviewed an emergency motion from Wells Fargo seeking to appoint Matthew Tarshis of Frontline Real Estate Partners as the property’s receiver. Flood purchased three multifamily properties in South Shore in 2020. The neighborhood, which had the highest number of eviction filings in Chicago from 2015-2019 according to the Law Center for Better Housing, has seen a rise in outside real estate investors since the 2017 announcement of the Obama Presidential Center’s construction in the neighboring Jackson Park. Wells Fargo Bank foreclosed on the building in mid-2024, bringing a $27 million lawsuit against Flood for missed loan payments. In late 2024, the City began closing its largest migrant shelters and, through state funding assistance distributed via Catholic Charities and moving support from New Life Church, relocated many families to buildings such as this one."
We know more about the massive military-style raid on a Chicago housing complex thanks to the reporting of @southsideweekly.bsky.social, @blockclubchi.bsky.social, and neighborhood resident Eboni Watson who chronicled the event. Among the emerging questions: what's real estate's role in this?

The AAUP calls on Texas A&M & Texas State to reverse the ideological firings of faculty members. We condemn the removal of the dean of the College of Arts & Sciences & the chair of the English department at Texas A&M for supporting the academic freedom of an instructor as a draconian abuse of power.

yet opposing the integration of genAI into the classroom and other critical societal infrastructure somehow makes one a 'pessimist', 'anti-progress' & 'anti-innovation'

On another note, if you are a university employee I strongly recommend that you in no way link any of your university accounts to any of your past, present, or future personal accounts or devices. Especially this.
Too many, even critics of authoritarianism, still rely on crime data to determine their support of what’s going on.
Crime data is copaganda. One of its functions is to legitimize carcerality.
That the UAE is positioning itself as peace maker in relation to the war in Ukraine is ludicrous as they fuel the war in Sudan by arming the RSF.
Hey y'all, check out my latest publication... it's a fun one about race/gender/age and educational attainment. I'll do a thread another day, but for now, here it is!
If you work in higher ed, you need to get your folks together and end the use of course evals or at least bar their consideration in evaluation, promotion, and hiring. This needed to happen yesterday because they don't measure learning, they measure instructor gender, but now it's a snitch pool.
