I’m following news of a reported shooting of a legal observer by ICE agents in South Minneapolis.

I’ll continue to monitor the situation closely and will update as soon as I receive information.

ICE must stop terrorizing our communities and leave our city.

I forgot to share this here. My mistake!

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Turning DC into Moscow (or East Berlin from back in the day).

I don't spend much time over here on Bluesky as of yet, but I just had to come back here to comment on that same prominent sociologist and New York Times columnist who backhandedly dissed GMU even as they pretended to defend us . . . I hope they are reflecting on their actions and hubris.

What really strikes me is that we met last year and Limerick and I spoke with her about GMU. We talked at some length. I'm not going to say anything more about this but Jesus what a waste of time and energy.

Join us in a few minutes, live!

Working people need our leaders in power to work for them and put their interests first. A wasteful birthday military parade does nothing to help working families pay their bills, lower their costs, or keep their health care.

The birthday parade money could pay for 4 million Meals on Wheels meals, enough to cover 10,000 hungry and isolated seniors for an entire year.

$45 million could pay for GI Bill benefits for 3,000 veterans, showing our nation’s thanks to our brave soldiers with the college or vocational training we promised after their service.

$45 million could provide more than 10 million school lunches, enough to feed 56,000 hungry kids – whose only warm meal each day could be at school – for an entire year.

Yes. Many thanks to Amy Cohen and @benmanski.bsky.social for hosting this webinar on our book. So many good vibrations and solidarities coming out of next system project @nextsystemstudies.bsky.social !

Extended heatwave in India, Pakistan to test survivability limits, with temperatures reaching Death Valley levels For hundreds of millions of people living in India and Pakistan the early arrival of summer heatwaves has become a terrifying reality that’s testing survivability limits and putting enormous strain on...

In case you're wondering why Trump is censoring any discussion of climate pollution...

It's only April and there's already Death Valley heat in India and Pakistan.

To be clear - I don't know whether the BLS # are correct. My colleagues don't know (I've asked around). And given what has just been done to the federal government, neither do you.

Step 3: Issue government reports of a steep decline in inflation and of steady employment.
Step 4: Count on cowed media organizations to uncritically report Step 3.

Step 1. Fire hundreds of thousands of career civil servants at government agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Step 2: Hold universities hostage by cutting off tens of billions of dollars of federal funding for independent research.

Dear Dr. Abdelhadi, The Keough School of Global Affairs, which houses the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, recently learned of your keynote speech at their student conference next weekend. The University of Notre Dame requires that all events or lectures related to Israel/Palestine have ND Police security and planning. We were unaware of your planned lecture, and since this conference overlaps with two other annual events on campus, we cannot provide security at short notice. For this reason, we respectfully request that you do not participate in the conference. The Kroc Institute will honor any honorarium that was awarded for this event. We apologize for any inconvenience. Sincerely, Mary Gallagher -- Mary E. Gallagher Marilyn Keough Dean Keough School of Global Affairs University of Notre Dame

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...

"The quest for truth—the mission of science requires that scientists freely explore new questions and report their findings honestly, independent of special interests. The administration is engaging in censorship, destroying this independence."

1900 members of the National Academies of Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering - the most respected scientists in this country - rise up against the war on science.

“An organization of intellectual workers can have the greatest significance for society as a whole by influencing public opinion through publicity & education. Indeed, it is the proper task to defend academic freedom, without which a healthy development of democracy is impossible.”

this guy really hates his trans kid so much that he decided to destroy liberal democracy
