It's not a polarization problem as pundits would have us believe. It's not an "all sides need to calm down" situation. Racists and misogynists dominate American politics and control government. The other is fighting against that. It's not polarization, but a battle to protect a pluralist democracy.

The fact that ANYONE thought Rufo was not a white nationalist is bonkers to me. He's been clear about it from the jump. Legacy media keeps platforming these bastards and then 🤷🏻‍♀️ when they come out as full blown racists.

For folks who think ICE is only in "democrat" states/cities. They're not. They're everywhere. Especially in Texas because Abbott gives them free reign.

I just filled up my mom's tiny Prius in Iowa City for more than $50. It never cost us this much even while living in California. Plus, Iowa's ethanol gasoline is supposed to make it cheaper. It's not.

FAFO aside, his shock is a great distillation of how whiteness as a social construct is built around shattering communal understanding of our interconnected human ecosystem in favor of a mythical individualism How whiteness leaves its adherents defenseless against our shared oppressors: capitalists

Fighting this BS on many fronts. A block away is UT Austin where Abbott and UT administors are ripping apart Mexican America /Latino Studies, Women and Gender Studies, and Black Studies. Our struggles are connected! As educators, we humanize the migrant community and Conservatives hate us for it.

My brilliant colleague Iván Chaar López 's tenure denial is not only a threat to UT faculty, but to all scholars who research topics considered "controversial." His case is a model for how to deny tenure with zero justifications to him or his colleagues. www.statesman.com/news/educati...

UT border surveillance scholar was a shoo-in for tenure. UT denied him.
American Studies scholar Iván Chaar López fears UT’s unexplained tenure denial violated his academic freedom amid scrutiny of controversial fields.

How humiliating that to rise in the ranks you have to kiss the ring of a charlatan, a buffoon, a sociopath. Tod Blanche, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, & RFK, Jr have no actual expertise or knowledge. It's their spinelessness, lack of dignity and morality that helped them climb the ladder.
