Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

this is unsustainably bananas and not impeaching and convicting these crooks grows ever more irresponsible and unpatriotic by the hour

These people really want me to be explode from rage this month I guess…I am finding it heard to imagine what the healing part of the rage will look like…

Anyway. They spent the last decade telling us STEM degrees were the future and the Humanities were worthless then they spent hundreds of billions of dollars to build a glitchy Humanities robot.

Umm Black students, faculty etc feel uncomfortable and no one cares, tf? ““If we had flipped Black to white in this situation and imagined Black students being made deliberately uncomfortable…I think we all agree that would be unacceptable.” www.chronicle.com/article/i-do...

Streaming @sierramatute.bsky.social and @cleahy.bsky.social en conversación con Nicholas Jones sobre su nuevo libro Cervantine Blackness! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jZi...

I forgot to add @cleahy.bsky.social will be there! This will certainly be a provocative conversation about the field of early modern studies and race!

Comically offensive as usual www.npr.org/2025/10/11/n...

Quick poll: Is Bad Bunny Black, yes or no? (Context: I asked this question and my students spent an hour debating it.)

It was a pleasure to host #mayrasantosfebres @hufaculty.bsky.social today. she spoke about her life, race in Latin America and her praxis as a writer. Thank you @mia1va.bsky.social for collaborating!

oh damn they clowning the shit outta Disney AND potus.

Thank you @mattisteinitz.bsky.social for giving a fantastic talk yesterday in my Black Lives in Latin America Through Literature and Film course yesterday on your work on Black Power and soul music. I think your work interviewing musical artists and activists fit great with the theme of the course!

Excited to present my research at #howarduniversity next Tuesday and grateful to @monicadstyles.bsky.social and Mesi Walton for making it happen!

The immediate and completely unwarranted threats against HBCUs (nowhere near Utah) today, should tell you everything you need to know about the kinds of "free speech" Charlie Kirk promoted. abcnews.go.com/US/multiple-...

Actually, tbd early October.

In conclusion….

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence. For an actual public servant. Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.
