Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE. She wasn’t just killed, she was murdered. The right was already trying to vilify her before we even knew her name. But I’m just going to say it… They’re going to have a much harder time doing that this time. She’s not Brown. She’s not Black. She’s white.

Today I just looked at my grades and I ended up with 4.0’s in the classes so my GPA is now 3.916. This fall semester in my 2nd year as a PhD was extremely challenging but I’m really grateful I made it through. Now that I am home. It’s time to rest & prepare for 2026.

In today's lecture I explained to the students that when Barry Goldwater dismissed the Eisenhower administration as a "dime store New Deal," he was just calling it a cheap knockoff. "I guess today he'd call it the Temu New Deal," I said, which actually got laughs.

I remember briefly reading her autobiography & remembering how much my anger was boiling of what she went through. Assata lived her life free in Cuba & didn’t fold to the U.S. Empire, now she is our ancestor. Rest in Power Assata. I encourage everyone to buy & read her book.

Much of the violent, racist rhetoric from the man arrested for allegedly threatening the life of Zohran Mamdani is almost indistinguishable from what top GOP politicians were saying in the days after Mamdani won the primary. (Also similar to what Girdusky said to me on CNN!)

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

A protester outside an ICE detention facility marches through clouds of irritant gas carrying American flags. A sign lying on the pavement by his feet reads “EVERY ICE AGENT WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.”

Folks out here doing and dancing with evil must think the wheels of time and fortune are static or rusted shut, so let me remind them—and the rest of us—of one of my favorite proverbs: He who shits in the road catches the flies on the way back. Get ready, the plague is coming!

Fascism is a man’s wet dream it is also humanity’s worst nightmare. Men do not aspire to be leaders, they aspire to be dictators. Fascism, capitalism, & patriarchy are the trifecta of death that will lead to the end of human civilization.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

First CBS cancels Stephen Colbert Now ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel If there’s anything that needs to be said is that fascists and conservatives hate comedians, but most of all they hate the truth being told.
