it feels like a small thing in context of all of the other things but it is a piece of the larger authoritarian project that there are fewer places to publish essays now and the carefully edited essay as a public form for thinking and responding and criticizing and analyzing is in trouble, i think

‘We’re losing accessibility’: America says goodbye to the mass-market paperback
The so-called ‘pocket book’ sold in supermarkets is being phased out across the US, the latest sign of an ongoing shift in how people are choosing to read

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding. Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.
Knutson mentioned in passing that his neighbor had “an adopted brown kid down there; they hid her in the basement yesterday.” This kind of thing no longer sounds weird in Minneapolis. Many people are hiding indoors—so many that, in a city with a substantial minority population, I hardly saw any Black or Latino faces on the street.

This is what police have been doing to black Americans since forever. Enough of the "this isn't who we are." You're now noticing because it's white people.

America enabled wanton killing over there. Now wanton killing is happening over here. They unloaded 355 bullets into Hind Rajab, and then they trained the people who unloaded their clips into Renee Good and Alex Pretti. So look alive. Starting now. Protect your neighbors. General fucking strike.

Can you imagine if colleges had resisted this admin from the start as we recommended almost a year ago? If instead of obeying in advance & dismantling their DEI programs, universities had said, "the opposite of welcoming diversity is supporting segregation." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

Colleges must stand up to the new segregationists (opinion)
In rushing to comply with Trump’s executive actions, universities support a segregationist agenda, Subini Annamma and David Stovall write.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

We’ve seen this act before. The Democratic Party needs new leadership. Jeffries and Schumer are not up to the challenge. They’re too afraid, bought, weak, whatever. It doesn’t matter why at this point. It just matters that they aren’t the people for this moment and need to get out of the way.
