RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!” “A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔 A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice. Both Jewish & Muslim faiths teach that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” Let us hold fast to our humanity.❤️

1/ Purdue is reportedly suspending and resending all admissions offers to graduate students from “adversarial nations”, including China and Russia. Some thoughts: www.insidehighered.com/news/admissi...

This article is great for schadenfreude, but I do wish that folks would stop taking every utterance that rich people make as valid. You’re allowed to skeptically raise an eyebrow and say “Really?”

you mean only in that our current debt system digs you in deep with fake promises and a huge handout to banks, and that itself should be viewed as crazy but isn’t, and a 50-year mortgage shows the true absurdity of it all? nope. ivy league economists think 30-yr fixed mortgages=too generous

NEW: Con Edison, the energy company serving New York City, refuses to say how ICE gets its customers' data. We reviewed a bunch of cases where both HSI/ICE and FBI get or 'search' through Con Edison data. Con Edison won't even say if they require a warrant www.404media.co/con-edison-r...

My paper is part of a special issue on mechanisms of racism, guest edited by Amanda Lewis and Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, for ERS. Here’s their introduction to the issue: www.tandfonline.com/doi/permissi...

Conservative education activists such as Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice have access to the top levers of the government. “If America’s public schools cease to exist tomorrow, America would be a better place,” Justice told ProPublica. @megomatz.bsky.social @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

I said I loved you and I wanted genocide to stop

Kahlenberg TESTIFIED FOR THE PLAINTIFFS in the 2023 Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard case. Consciously or not, he has for years abetted the Trump campaign of anti-antiracism.

Just remember we have not even hit year one of this white nationalist fascist government. They have a lot more installed for us. We need to get ready, we need to join an organization. You can't survive this alone you need comrades.

very pleased to see Lloyd‘s carrot cake deservedly first on this list. I have baked three wedding cakes for loved ones, but at my own wedding we had Lloyd‘s, baby

We lost a warrior, a freedom fighter, a visionary, someone who changed the way I see the world. May Assata Shakur rest in power with the ancestors!

Reporting that isn't stenography challenge.

Lots of different protests happening in NYC next week including protests at the UN and an anti-ICE protest on 9.25.

Political violence has no place in this country… But we will also do nothing to curb the availability of the guns used to carry out said violence. The denial and empty rhetoric is learned helplessness— because the truth is.. America is sick and there is no cure in sight.

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

Last week, taking cute back to school pictures of my kids. ☺️ This week, talking with them about the lock down drills they’re experiencing and why we as adults have failed them (our kids) so badly. 😢

"Vote for me, they guy that President Trump is happy to delegate power to"

Thinking about Chicago, race, and repression. Remember when earnest old Twitter made everything into a syllabus --it was corny yeah, but a few things I'd put on my Chicago syllabus 🧵 (I am not from Chicago, this is not an exhaustive list, but work related to Chicago I regularly reference.)

I know this is out of style.

Today, I tried to get my COVID vaccine and was denied. Even after showing the pharmacist @govwesmoore.bsky.social 's statement that Maryland law says all Marylanders should have access to the COVID vaccine, I was still denied. They said they had to follow the box. This is RFK's fault. RFK must go.

New (and absurdly short) list of genocide deniers just dropped. In the entire world, this is all the credentialed people they could find to sign. www.scholarsfortruthaboutgenocide.com

Listen to the vanishing sounds of Mali’s legendary music scene Over decades, Mali produced global stars and became a hub for West African guitar. Now, musicians are struggling to hang on amid economic and security crises wapo.st/3JSxmjU

It shouldn’t take bravery for survivors to come forward about sexual assault. It only takes bravery because the systems that are supposed to protect survivors betray them. In a more just world, it would be easy for survivors to come forward and we would all be waiting to hear and help them.

ATL! Black Masculinity Reimagined Leadership Institute is coming September 14th! Join us for an integenerational space with Black men and masculine folks focused on healing beyond patriarchy and much more. Great food and gifts will be given.🙏🏾 www.eventbrite.com/e/black-masc...

Famed "normal people" knower Nate Silver.

I adore getting accused of “loving” crime….who loves crime? The people who have done the same thing for 200 years and failed to produce safety? Or the people who actually want to call the policing experiment a failure and try something new?

It's always been like this, and it's because the elites are essentially self-preserving, and civility has always been the tool by which non-elites are condemned.

Consistently one of the best publications on Palestine and Higher Ed 🫡

Update: it got funny again
