What a beauty!
Kristi Noem testified under oath yesterday that detainees receive medical attention within 12 hours. Yet another shameless lie.

Hey! Scholars! If you're using someone's work in your class, sometimes it's nice to email them and tell them, because then they might feel good about their research instead of entirely crushed by the academic humanities' ongoing descent into the grave
Oh, but a 1930s singer is a treasure!
also a thing we know of course, with a historical romance author helping coordinate. LOL
it's hard to count the number of ways they're wrong some days.

Do you live in Wyoming and/or know someone who does, who wants to distribute whistles? Put them somewhere in their store? Hand them out?

Or with the money being spent on not-so-secret police.
People who hope are motivated. They DO things. People in despair retreat into the corner. They STOP doing things. Dooming promotes despair and stains hope. Dooming harms the resistance. Dooming is part of the problem. Maybe don't doom at people?
Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.
My friends local to Minnesota, whom I trust a great deal, would like to share the following resources that could use support.

For my out-of-state friends wanting to help Minneapolis, Sanctuary Supply Depot is a grassroots mutual aid effort to support unhoused folks here. They take cash as well as in-kind donations: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...
Oh god. There goes my “at least she didn’t suffer” shred of coping.

No Blood For Oil vs. Exactly How Much Oil Are We Talking About?
Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.
Thank you! Desperately needed some peace.
I am once again insisting that the US must submit to the jurisdiction of the ICJ.
I miss his voice so very much in our era filled with extraordinary lies. Though perhaps it’s the ordinary ones that got us here. Thank you for your recurrent gift book giving!
Just once it'd be nice to say "Best year ever; bank this one, for we may never see its like again" rather than "Another fucking quagmire of doom, glad to see the back of it."

Terrific!
Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.
On January 1, Illinois begins to regulate employer use of AI, making it a civil rights violation to use AI tools that result in discrimination based on protected characteristics in hiring, promotion, discipline, termination, or other employment terms and requiring notice of AI use. #AIBillofRights
Bravo!
I mean this, academics. If you don't feel capable of embedding a trans perspective into your class for time or expertise reasons, ask me and I will come talk to them for you.
I will even try to relate it to paleogeology (or history, English, drama...), god help me.
Once more preaching to the choir (I hope):
If GC people were really concerned about women's safety and rights, they'd be focusing on this, not persecuting a minority in an effort to scrub them from existence.
No shit. Ya think?
