In my U.S. Civil Rights Movements class, we spend a lot of time thinking about historical memory. When movements get reduced to a few iconic leaders, the collective labor that made change possible disappears from view. It also obscures an important lesson: collective action is effective & difficult.
Google is eating its seed corn
If only….
Imagine being douchey enough to say this at a gathering of nations of the Americas.
NOEM: I would disagree with the judge
CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?
NOEM: A what?
CROCKETT: A law degree
NOEM: No I do no-
CROCKETT: Okay
Another very angry judge. This judge previously held detaining non-citizens without a hearing violates their due process rights. The government kept doing it, claiming that immigration judges (DOj employees) had to follow a decision from the top immigration court (the BIA, a DOJ “court”).
I tell every student to read their writing out loud. The brain processes it differently--if you have to form the words with your mouth, it's closer to reading it like someone other than yourself. It doesn't allow your brain to skip over mistakes/unclear parts with a subliminal "I know what I mean"

Look at Marco Rubio realizing yet again that, as they say in Texas, if you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas.
Another Texas-ism that applies, you gotta dance with the one that brung ya….
Maybe he’s realizing he should have stayed on the porch….
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

This is like when conservatives respond to Epstein stuff with “oh so it’s illegal to have friends now?”
Couldn't agree more.
Estefany Rodríguez, a Nashville journalist for a Spanish-language outlet, was covering immigration raids. The next day, agents arrested her without a warrant. www.cjr.org/analysis/est...
Mr. Chalamet made this remark on my campus. If he’d bothered to talk to those of us there who have expertise in the performing arts he’d have learned that we’re all interconnected. We need all the arts. If he wants to preserve the experience of moviegoing then he needs to support all the arts.
Facebook post from LA Opera telling Timothee Chalamet that their production of Akhenaten is almost sold out.
LA Opera claps back
Incredible leadership from coaches across the country:
“The unprecedented pressure by the federal and certain state governments on colleges and universities undercuts the values we have sought to instill in student-athletes.” ⬇️

Opening page of chapter two of Keisha Blain’s biography of Fannie Lou Hamer with a quote by Hamer: I'm going to tell you just like it is…There's so much hypocrisy in this society and if we want America to be a free society, we have to stop telling lies.
I repeat her line all the time: we have to stop telling lies!
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
For all the "people don't want to work parrots"
Shout out to the Op Ed Project for helping a lot of us get there!
Sixty-one years ago today, on Bloody Sunday, Alabama law enforcement attacked peaceful civil and voting rights marchers at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. They broke John Lewis’s skull. 🗃️ #EduSky nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stor...
Graves: There’s been reporting that some troops have been told that this is about starting Armageddon.
Warner: I don’t know whether that’s coming from the White House or just from specific military commanders.
Have you considered NYU Law Review?
J.D. Vance is no different. This is a terrible take. He never had different ideas. Every Republican is exactly the same. They want America dumb and poor so they can be easily controlled workers for wealthy Republican donors.
Well all be better off when we move beyond the partisan political micromanagement of education
Latin America reacts with distress over Hegseth's sudden proclamation of regional hegemony and demand that Latin American governments either join the US military in illegally shooting drug suspects or the US military will operate on its own in (invade) their countries.
The new GOP nominee for TX-23 (San Antonio/West Texas) is a huge fan of the Führer.
BRUSUELAS: At $125 per barrel, $4.25 per gallon of gasoline and 4% inflation, the U.S. economy “will feel the pain quickly ..
“.. a risk that .. will negate the fiscal tailwind we were expecting from the One Big Beautiful Bill ..”
