Yeah, they don't want to hear what we have to say. I called the local office of my senator and my governor and gave them both a piece of my mind about preparedness. I live in Washington, so I figure Seattle will be next!

Ugh.

CAN'T, because of the shutdown there's a message saying you have to callback when the shutdown is over! Right after I saw the number, I called right after he put the number up, and posted that it was shutdown, just like the govt. is!

What can we do?

If you tax trucks 🚛, trucking in your inputs gets pricier. That means flying ✈️ or shipping 🚢 looks better. Where do planes and boats come from? Yes, this just made transporting inputs from abroad *more* competitive. It's like taxing bikes to reduce road congestion.

Anyway, just wanted to share, in case other faculty are thinking about this. #teachecon It's particularly resonant for me because so many of my students are freshmen, and they're trying to navigate choices that have gotten more treacherous than they need to be.

ICE tried to arrest a Mexican man; no warrant, no crime; then backed off when people stood by him. That's what unity looks like.

"This escalation of violence is targeted and intentional and pre-meditated," Illinois Gov. Pritzker says of the Trump admin.'s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago. "Trump's deranged depiction of Chicago ... was just complete BS."

The fun never ends when you're battling Nazis.

This October 18, we’ll be protesting the Trump regime by taking to the streets as part of Indivisible National’s second NO KINGS Nationwide Day of Defiance.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

Chicago Governor JB Pritzker emphasizes that peaceful protesters are welcome, but “federal agents who abuse their position to terrorize Illinoisans and incite violence are not welcome.”
