Really just the absolute floor of demands that ICE must be abolished, dismantled, and everyone involved with its creation held accountable.

Your reminder that cops in LA maje $20 to $30k more than starting tenure track faculty in the CSU system. In case you’re curious about priorities.

'it says summon the dead / no, it says summons YOUR death'

I'm imagining the scene is like 25 minutes long and they argue about case syncretism of the nominative and the genitive

The Whistle! I may be overstating the importance of translation error in the overall narrative but the trailer does make it clear it's a crucial plot point lmao

yes, Dems are 100% ok with it. if they weren’t, they wouldn’t have voted for it dozens of times or tried to hit Republicans from the right for not being β€œserious about the border” during the 2024 election or be totally abdicate fighting against it now. but they did all that, they’re social fascists

"Should we vote to give more money to the people shooting my constituents in the face?" is not a complicated political question. And yet, Democrats don't seem able to answer it.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

I've canceled the cards and will get those charges reversed, but like, do you really need my hearing aids and my driver's license?

Whoever took my gym bag at Santa Cruz Athletic Club at ~11:30 AM this morning, then spent ~$2,000 at a hardware store on my credit cards and withdrew more from the ATM, can you please at least return my cards, my weightlifting equipment, and my hearing aids please?

Raise your hand if you’re doing more in-class writing and activities on paper and the whiteboard.

I’m starting to do self-recorded oral presentations and in-class poster presentations rather than papers :/ I have mixed feelings about it! It’s easier for me to grade at the very least

It is now confirmed from multiple sources that ICE shot a legal observer dead on Portland in Minneapolis between 34th and 33rd street. The victim is dead
