🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

U.S. Border Patrol is holding a recruiting fair at the "Tough Mudder" race in Big Bear this coming Saturday, Sept 6. I know this is well outside of SD County, but I know many of you might be ready to make that trip! www.mobilize.us/bigbearcommu...

Man, Chicago and Philadelphia don’t owe me a thing. I had a ball. Even though I was busy with work and family a lot of the time, the cities gave everything they was supposed to give

I wish I gave 2 shits about the Dexter Extended Universe bc it looks like there’s about 67 shows out there about that dude and his shenanigans

Not in LA? Can't safely protest? 👇

No matter what a peaceful protestor may intend, it’s police who are deciding when to use violence and whom to use it against—and nothing we saw this weekend indicates their violence was confined to those who were not “peaceful.”

Talking to people from Gaza is so important. If you’re not sure if a Palestinian in Gaza is genuine, instead of lamenting them as spam or questioning them on your account publicly (which prompts people to report them) validate them yourself by DMing them and asking to video call.

I’m going to give a quick list of non financial ways to help Gazans on here: Share Caption their videos and add alt text to their photos Explain to them how to use tinyurls and make them for their fundraising links Send them the guide I have in my profile for Gazan accounts

One reason they won’t bring any of these people back is they don’t want them around to testify to what’s happening

Okay, all. I have a call to action for all CA residents. If you're not a CA resident, please help share and boost? 1. Most of you know what happened to me last month. If not, my @calmatters.org op-ed was posted this morning. I'm working on changing the penal code.

"This is what violent nationalism does," said @fiftyshadesofwhey.bsky.social. "It seeps into the minds of children and turns playgrounds into nightmares."

If you find yourself in the presence of a Democratic politician at some point in the next 2 days could you do me a favour & ask them "What the actual fuck do you all think you're doing, and when are you going to actually try to stop the onrushing tide of white supremacist fascism?" much appreciated

The Society of Childrens Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) planned to put out a statement supporting Israel while it commits genocide. Danielle Monique spoke up and was fired for insubordination. We have to do better in the kid lit community.

I don’t live in crime scene conditions but there’s something so funny about these suits and I think I want one. I know I’m definitely on somebody’s list for looking them up on Amazon like some kind of dumbass murderer

I know academics who use AI regularly, for work and play, and I'd really like them, and universities, to tell me how they contend with AI's bottomless appetites for power and water. Is asking ChatGPT to interpret a Xmas song or making it write your syllabus worth this to you?

This is awful: chilling of speech in any way critical of Israel, punitive withdholding of funds punishing those who are already poor because the orgs helping them recognize their shared plight with Palestinians, thereby spreading more suffering, and splintering vital coalitions. my god

Are there other greens out there like kale that need to be massaged

In January, Israeli historian Lee Mordechai released a 124 page report with 1,400 footnotes detailing evidence of Israel’s genocide, which he continues to update. How many of you heard about it? witnessing-the-gaza-war.com/wp-content/u...
