The Wash. Post would like us to remember the pain of the concentration camp officers who are sad they can’t abduct and torture people anymore— because they got fired for being shitty cops. Story CW: suicide. Also CW the detainees dying/ taking their lives in despair not mentioned in this story.

Wash. Post headline “ICE is quietly firing new hires. For one recruit, it was devastating.”

Reminder for those who might not remember that a scholar in my subfield was, c2013, credibly accused of plagiarism, found guilty by an independent committee, had the book revoked by the press—& was not fired or dragged in the press but (over objections from 13 of her own colleagues) made into a dean

When someone who consistently does and says terrible things dies, it's helpful. It means that they can no longer do and say terrible things. It's a form of cleansing the world. That's a positive thing.

The speed with which Greenidge lost EVERYTHING. The second half of the review raises serious citations questions, but the first half suggests a reviewer with a major axe to grind re: daring to question the sanctity of white women abolitionists. Scholars who have done far worse still kept their jobs.

Loved the New York Post article claiming "it's over" for Mamdani as if there isn't an entire cultural touchstone on powerful or leading men getting wet in their (regency) white shirts when overcome with emotion.

This strikes me as a very smart move—- supporting smaller clinics like Callen-Lorde who don’t take Federal money and building networks to get information to patients and families cut off from care. The public stance, however limited, is a big deal.
