New photos from the USS Abraham Lincoln show service members receiving minimal food portions as reports grow that some troops have lost significant weight and aren’t receiving care packages—while the Pentagon denies any shortages. (Newsweek)

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does. Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision. We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore. This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

UTAH auto body shop owner: “You guys broke the fucking window to get in here! Where is your warrant??” Trump’s ICE goons: “Yes we did… We don’t need one.” 🤔 Rights are gone under this regime. (From Somali Snaps: www.instagram.com/reel/DUKpzuS...)

Y'all. I've done so much core work since the surgery. YOU CORE IS YOUR FRIEND, my little chickadees! Ok. So much of this core work was the yoga contortions I engaged in to take a bath and wash my hair, but let's discuss this later.

We have entered the period of the year where days and dates have no meaning. Instead, we wake up wondering what social obligation we've committed to for the next 12 hours.

Southern folks say, "Don't be ugly!" when someone has the choice to be good or evil. I thought it was a figure of speech until I saw today's Vanity Fair pictures.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

#Academics: Are you still manually entering your citations and references by hand or have you moved into the 21st century and use citation software. As god(dess) as my witness, why the H3LL doesn't everyone use citation software?

The first week of March 2020, I took a study abroad class to Berlin. There are many stories to share but the best one is that two of the students from that trip are getting married. Following their love story makes me so happy. What a story for them to tell their grandkids!

So, here's my radical theology: people who shout "JESUS IS THE KING OF KINGS!!!" Huh. Jesus was an illegitimate, illiterate, itinerant prophet who was killed by the government. We call him "king." But think who is illegitimate, illiterate, and itinerant in your community. That is Jesus.

At this stage of my career, few things cause me to write: HOLY SHIT! In the margins of an academic article. Here is one: postivie emotions reduce the ingroup/outgroup effect. Positive emotions reduce racial bias. WOW. This could inspire a whole new area of my research!
