Have already called. Also, spent today dissecting this Bill with students in the UCLA course I’m teaching on book banning in America.

Why? Americans DESERVE to be attacked.

I’d prefer a vote of “Fuck You”

Huh? They would be alive if Trump hadn’t started a bullshit and batshit crazy war. Everything else is utterly irrelevant

Um, of course not. He couldn’t find it on a world map if his life depended on it.

Hopefully it burned to the ground while staff were unharmed.

I hate being in a position where I’m rooting for such a repressive regime as Iran, but here we are. The US CANNOT be allowed to win this war.

Of course the US would start by murdering children. The Trump regime’s disdain for children is a palpable reality

This is a useful articulation of the import of this ruling. It is particularly noteworthy that our Faculty Association had to take the lead to achieve this court victory, while UCLA’s cowardly leadership refused to step up for our institution.

Donated.

Canadian Authors and Illustrators Against Book Bans strongly condemns the ongoing book bans in Alberta, and the secrecy surrounding the lists of banned titles. When public schools are banning books in school libraries, Canadians have a right to know what books are being targeted.

Funny how the people who trumpet promises of “transparency” are usually the least transparent. Definitely discovering that in the US with our current regime and its own such promises . . .

The breathtaking stupidity on display in such decisions to withdraw from organizations that benefit all of us boggles the mind. Politics driven by spite and (idiotic) instinct is an affront to anyone capable of rational thought.

Yes! I literally just got off the hone with my congresswoman’s office to demand that she immediately move to abolish ICE and told them that I would never vote for her again if she does not push for that.

I don’t mind the response but would not simply call these numbers “reality.” The task I constantly present my Congresswoman is to convince republicans to vote for impeachment (and against the other nonsense they peddle). I consider anything less a complete letdown. Hard? Maybe, but not optional.

“Vote” to stop it? How does that work? How about vote to remove Donald Fucking Trump via impeachment? That’s how you stop this insane bullshit

I believe that should read: “were murdered” - war crimes.

Oh, absolutely! I recommended this to a colleague and her daughter just yesterday. It’s a brilliant series.

Can one even resign from a position one never legally held?

Wow, that’s really tepid. Another reason I’m glad I never joined the AHA.

Not only did he pardon such people, he is, himself a rapist, murderer, fraudster…

Oh, I mostly work at my university to generate DIS-approval of my actions, my complaints, my efforts to hold leadership accountable for their grotesque misbehavior. And, I have an entire life outside of my academic one, which will make walking away (and not looking back) when I retire VERY easy.

There’s a LOT of wars I didn’t vote for, and yet it seems that my country KEEPS FIGHTING THEM. Neither domestic nor international law seems to offer any constraint. I can only hope that those who prosecute these wars go straight to hell up on their demise to keep Kissinger company.

It is absolutely appalling, driven by intense xenophobia and profoundly idiotic attempts to correlate violence with immigration status.

We had T-Mobile for 15 years and loved their service, but last week I dumped them for sponsoring the Trump Ballroom and jettisoning their DEI policies. Impossible to boycott all the disgusting US corporations, but doing my best . . .

Looking forward to it!

Wouldn’t that depend on the gender presentation of the cis person? Being cis in itself does not mean you will appear as an immigration official might expect. It’s the whole trans bathroom ban snaring people who don’t seem to pass the appearance matches gender expectations test…

Praising him for being a war criminal??
