Expanding on this:
Teach quotation, summary, paraphrase, citation at the beginning of every class, first activity after syllabus overview. Logic of citation, being able to retrace scholarly steps, replicate their work.
It’s the reason we don’t have universal healthcare imo. Some white folks would rather die than see Black people get anything at all

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?
Murderbot's entire existence is basically them wanting nothing more than to be left alone to stream their favourite shows on a loop, but they keep getting dragged into chaos that they had no part in causing
So yeah, the most relatable character in modern fiction
This is so true. I was worried I would move to the center but hoo boy, I'm so left now I can't move any more
I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.
WE Pay for
Note to Democrats: Voters giving up Trump only to vote for the next Republican solves nothing.
The problem isn't Trump, it's the Republican party.
Don't allow Republican politicians dodge accountability by claiming it was all him.
Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

Can we stop treating empirically verifiable facts as if they were some untested fringe theory?
(I know we can't but I am obligated to scream into the void nonetheless)
DON'T COME HERE.
They kidnap people off the streets & throw them in filthy holes.
They don’t care who you are.
They don't care if you're white, either, if you think that'll save you.
They have quotas.
(It’s all about money.)
THE US IS NOT SAFE.
STAY AWAY.

Dear fellow Brits, from this Brit-American:
Please don't come here. It's dangerous. You may be targeted, arrested and unlawfully detained - likely courtesy of ICE - without access to legal representation.
I've told my family to stay away.
Please boycott America. 🇬🇧💙

When they made us read Orwell in high school, they were universally seen as precautionary tales, not parts of a recipe book.
More people should have to actually read Orwell…and Bradbury…and Asimov…

When you travel abroad you realize how the little things (there and here) are so beautiful. Violets in my back yard and random rosemary plant in Spain.
the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system
it really is remarkable *how mild* the op-ed that she wrote was. It really shouldn’t matter what she said, but I think they chose to make an example of her precisely *because* she didn’t do anything remotely wrong. They wanted to show they could do this to anyone.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.
No one: what does evil really look like? Does it even exist?
Trump administration: hold my beer.
The rats gonna be pissed... Maybe head to the WHITE house?
