Opinion | ICE Will See You Now

KEY POINT: "Successful authoritarian governments cultivate authoritarian cultures. Key to that project is the rejection of accountability, the embrace of impunity and the demand that ordinary people stand ready to be scrutinized by the state for any reason it deems necessary." The double standard!!!

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

7 Ways to Rise Up Against Trumpism 2.0 Grassroots movements, legal organizations, and nonprofits are leading the opposition.

Someday your grandchildren will ask you, "What did you do during the Trump presidency?" Now is the time to do all of those things to resist, so they will be proud of you. www.yesmagazine.org/democracy/20...

America Has Never Seen a President This Corrupt Trump’s brazen use of the White House to advance his family businesses should be one of the biggest scandals in the country’s history.

What is happening is unquestionably the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

His acceptance of a luxury plane from Qatar, his extensive ties to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Azerbaijan, his repeated promotion of shady crypto as a means of buying direct access to him.

It's like this EVERY. YEAR!

Now is the Time: History as Healing and Resistance - Harvard Education Press We began planning our book back in 2020 when whole cities were burning, protesting against the modern-day lynching of Black people.

Journal article on white paper with black text. Title of article: The Wisdom of Youth: Reconsidering Secondary Students' Racial Literacies Author: Eliana Castro Affiliation: The University of Vermont

In this piece, I discuss how 5 teens read the racial silences in their schooling and interpret the racial experiences. I explore instructional supports to help students articulate the more complex and enduring understandings of structural/ institutional racism to foster critical racial consciousness

Professional orgs, take note:

American activists are being doxxed at home, and people in need of "humanitarian" aid abroad will be left to fend for themselves. Every single move is inhumane and destructive. So many people are going to die.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Donald Trump’s tariffs on Mexico could devastate border region, Texas economists warn The president-elect said he intends to levy a 25% tariff on goods imported from Mexico and Canada until drugs and undocumented migrants stop crossing the border.

".. An individual product could pass between the U.S. and Mexico between four and eight times, said Tom Fullerton, an economics professor at the University of Texas .. A tariff would .. substantially increase the cost of the final product .."

That song literally started playing in my head when I read this

Police-related deaths of Indigenous people continue to grow | APTN News YouTube video by APTN News

Police-related deaths remains a topic of discussion this week as two more Indigenous people died after being shot by police just two days apart in Manitoba, making the national count 13 in total since the end of August.

This person made an earnest effort to explain what's objectionable. They acknowledged your intent in what you posted. They pointed out that these are not Native artists. They asked you not to perpetuate the appropriation. They don't need to prove to you that they're Native. Google "Native artists".

The @cufasocforum.bsky.social session is also featuring the Providence Student Union. Thank you, PSU; we love the work you do with Rhode Island youth?

We're so fortunate to be joined by the Coalition for Anti-Racism in Education's advocacy for diverse and inclusive history education in the state of Massachusetts! @cufasocforum.bsky.social
