BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach β€” and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Sincerely hope folks begin to realize at some point that compliance will not save you. Institutional position will not save you. What we are seeing is a wholesale dismantling of higher education piece by piece.

Trans people exist, have always existed, and will loved and valued, no matter what their government tells them.

Abandoning trans people is 'fascist logic', says leading feminist philosopher Leading feminist philosopher Judith Butler has declared that abandoning trans people or any minority is operating within 'fascist logic'.

β€œOnce you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. β€œThat means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

AP Human Geography website showing 2 instead of 3 available videos.

So apparently the AP Human Geography site is culling some of its "daily videos" for class use. A teacher tells me the videos on redlining and white flight are gone. In the screenshot below, you can see the Daily Videos start with no. 2 (no. 1 on this page was redlining, and it's gone now).

Pretextual traffic stops + security theater + incredibly poor messaging + unexamined local law enforcement mutual assistance agreements + local leaders unwilling to seriously examine public safety + past failures with minimal accountability = today in Charlottesville.
