As a friend recently pointed out, the tell-tale sign of authoritarianism is the state going after those who satirize it.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

The University of Chicago has one of the most celebrated doctoral programs in South Asian Studies anywhere in the world-- tragic to see it "pause." I was fortunate enough to publish my ethnography of the Daudi Bohras with @uchicagopress.bsky.social: www.amazon.com/Mullahs-Main...

Like shit. These gang-raping pigs will all be back in the NHL this fall. Hockey culture is rape culture. Hockey Canada has been paying Navigator to protect these turds for years now. I hope they all get what they deserve.

I haven’t seen the new Superman movie. But I did just discover some incredible Superman comics from the late 1930s, including one where he “declares war on reckless drivers” after witnessing a rise in traffic fatalities.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

My essay, “Stretching Subalternity: The Figure of the ‘Migrant’ in the Postcolonial New World Order,” is in this new Routledge Handbook. I argue that Subaltern Studies needs to make a full break with nationalist thought.

People in Toronto seem to have two kinds of dogs. 1. Dogs too big and powerful for them to control. 2. Dogs to small to walk. What is going on?

And some embarrassingly so....

I worry that escalating war with Iran will be used to whip up more fear and hate for non-white immigrants, particularly those of Arab descent, and be used for unjust deportations.

I spent the weekend a little obsessed about getting word to tenured professors at the 60 targeted schools who are also U.S. citizens, but now there's an even easier way to share. sites.google.com/umass.edu/we...

Prof Franke not pulling her punches: "In a time when assaults on higher ed are the most acute since the McCarthyite assaults of the 1950s, the University's leadership & trustees have abandoned any duty to protect the university's most precious resources: its faculty, students, & academic mission."

Wow, just heard that Columbia has forced out one of my fave profs from law school for the offense of being pro students, pro Palestine, and anti genocide This sucks! At least now with this BS behind her, she says she can refocus her efforts on fighting for Palestine ccrjustice.org/home/press-c...

I spent most of my adult life watching schools say they can't expel professors for sexually assaulting and harassing students and colleagues only to see how quickly they react over social media posts against genocide

Sobering, and important. Hannah Yelin (Ox Brookes): 'Her latest paper, published in the journal New Formations, found that 74 per cent of academics had experienced online harms as a result of sharing research publicly – affecting their careers and causing significant physical and mental harms.' 1/3
