Sharing on behalf of my @cunygcsociology.bsky.social friend/colleague Ruth Milkman who isn't on social media. Here's her statement re a problematic censoring of an obituary for Michael Burawoy to appear in ASA Footnotes #soctwitter #socsky #sociology docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Exclusive: NSF faces radical shake-up as officials abolish its 37 divisions | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

Trump's threat to arrest Governor Evers is a chilling attempt to normalize fascism & silence dissent. They want to bully & intimidate anyone who doesn't conform to their ideology. We will NOT be intimidated. We will NOT be silenced. We will DEFEND our freedom.

A grandma who works at Target. An advocate for farmworkers. A cancer researcher. A grad student who wrote an op-ed. A hairdresser. A sheet metal worker and loving father to an autistic child. At least two people who took a wrong turn on the same bridge in Detroit. A toddler.

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

My blood is boiling. This is appalling. Andry, the makeup artist deported to Trump’s foreign prison in El Salvador - without due process and under false pretenses - hasn’t been heard from in weeks. Members of Congress who went to El Salvador asked for proof that he’s alive. This is a crisis.

This is horrifying and should be completely unacceptable to absolutely everyone.

Men in plainclothes, one in a balaclava, raided the Charlottesville courthouse today. They abducted a local painter whose case (allegedly fighting with his roommate) was being dismissed, and another who was there paying fines. They took them away in unmarked vans. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

Children as young as *four* are being put in the position of representing themselves without lawyers/parents present in front of immigration judges in cases that will determine whether they are deported. gothamist.com/news/4-year-...

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

"We cannot give everyone a trial," says the president of these United States.

Hard to comprehend this level of cruelty.

I see Joe Rogan as a temperature check to see how he and his audience are thinking about and understanding things. So I’m sharing this not to celebrate that we got him to “switch sides”, but because it’s significant that he’s saying this. We should keep yelling about this issue in these terms.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

NSF will no longer fund research on misinformation and is stopping grants, arguing that it could infringe on free speech “in a manner that advances a preferred narrative about significant matters of public debate”. Chilling to see even if it’s not a surprise. 🧪 www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Please let this be the end of his political (presidential) aspirations. In a context where the federal government is snatching people off the street and sending them abroad to spend their lives in black hole torture centers, tariffs are the distraction.

We were just denied entry into CECOT — the notorious prison in El Salvador where Mr. Abrego Garcia is being illegally held. We were there for one simple reason: to check on his well-being, which his family and lawyers have not been allowed to do. We won’t stop fighting.

Repulsive and horrific. Modern-day lynching postcard.

Absolutely sick.

"I will no longer be able to continue teaching." Hyeongseon Jeon, an assistant professor at the University of Houston, said he had his foreign visa unexpectedly terminated and now must return to Korea immediately. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Holy crap this sucks “According to Onda’s attorney, the U.S. government asked him to leave due to his criminal history, which includes two speeding tickets and a catch-and-release fishing citation dismissed in 2019.”

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

This is who they want to deport. Someone who embodies the moral clarity and leadership this country so desperately needs. Free Mohsen Mahdawi! Free Mahmoud Khalil! Free every single person this admin has kidnapped and/or trafficked to torture centers!

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Chilling. Terrifying. GEO at UMich is holding a rally in support of international students/workers on Thursday. As someone who benefits from the protections of citizenship, I will be there making as much noise as possible. Let’s show up!

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

The bipartisan belief that America would be a better place if *other people* worked in a factory. www.ft.com/content/8459...

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

For my inaugural post on this app, I'd like to invite anyone attending #PAA2025 to come to my talk! I'm very excited to attend my first PAA @popassocamerica.bsky.social meeting and share this research (and hopefully get good feedback as I refine and revise).
