Man, do you know what rules? Actually loving other people, reminding us that we deserve a government that cares for us, and inspiring us to meet our neighbors.

And Zohran Mamdani also placed *joy* and more awareness of history + changemakers as staples in his campaign. He provided space for people to learn and bond rather than just spit out figures and hokum.

The extent to which educators at my school this week were spending lunch periods & before & after school trying figure out & respond to ICE fears & immediate food needs is heartening & absolutely infuriating. I know I canāt stay this mad all the time without health impacts, but fuuuuuck.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

There is a robust conversation already about supporting students digital literacy abilities. This is good & necessary & (from what I can see) happening. I would offer that there is an equally compelling case for the need to practice perspective taking. I wish this was more supported.

is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and thatās good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

I canāt help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

People who might be comfortable with their neighbors quietly disappearing aren't always comfortable when the grotesque human rights abuses involved are made public. They don't like to imagine themselves as the bad people you make them seem like when you point out what's happening. So keep doing it.
