This is a pretty good summary of US higher ed for the past ~year and a half. It may thrill and embolden the current federal administration, but they can't take credit for it--their predecessors and university leaderships beat them to it

"articulable facts":
"Asked why agents arrested the man they’d run after, Bovino would not specify anything except that the man didn’t resemble the white reporter.
“He exhibited articulable facts that made us take a look, and then we took a look and our suspicions were proven true. It does appear right now he’s an illegal alien,” Bovino said."

I'm reviewing another file for academic promotion and honestly... reading it makes me so tired. It's great work, politically urgent, both smart and wise... but... like... I am just tired. Some of us really work ourselves to death

I'm literally convinced that some people listening to wildfire scanner traffic in 2020 became convinced that BLM meant Black Lives Matter and not Bureau of Land Management and the tear in their discursive world never was mended

There's an essay I used to teach about Molotov Man's image circulating, but it's not online. I have a PDF if anyone wants it

(You'll not often find me sharing Cato Institute blogs but) data now shows what was self-evidently true: "how frequently Latino immigrants are arrested off the streets without any recent prior contact with law enforcement", i.e. much ICE activity is just profiling, and that's it

We don't need a Joe Rogan of the left (🙃) but we do need a media & information system that isn't entirely captured by rightwing propagandists:

Would anyone want to read a trade book where I expound on and largely condemn (at length) a series of everyday technologies, including the truck, and the lawn?
