Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

Disabled people make society uncomfortable. Left or right…. It doesn’t matter. People want to believe it can’t happen to them. That if they become disabled there will be a magic “fix”. We challenge their denial, so they deny us solidarity and support. That’s ableism.

The provost of Dartmouth, at which I teach, has been using AI to write both academic papers & national op-eds, according to brave reporting by @thedartmouth.bsky.social. Many students are already bitter about AI. This leaves us as faculty no ground to stand on. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...

Op-eds, academic articles by Provost Santiago Schnell flagged as ‘AI-written’ by ‘near-zero error’ AI detector Pangram
Schnell said he used artificial intelligence for “making writing processes more efficient,” but that AI was not a “substitute” for his own “intellectual judgment or authorship.”

I am using the term "third-country removals" instead of "third-country deportations" here, because the latter is a legal process in which a migrant is resettled in a safe third country.

COVID-19: The Elephant in the Room Everyone Keeps Ignoring @pacoonpause.bsky.social Source: x.com/PacoOnPause/...
 A screenshot of a social media thread discussing Long COVID. The top post is by PACO (@PacoOnPause) and states: "Most people won't admit or even consider that they have Long COVID. Instead, they just have mystery health problems that are only mysterious if we ignore thousands of studies and pretend that COVID isn't a vascular disease that everyone keeps getting reinfected with."
Embedded below it is a quoted post from "Suzaku has Long Covid/MECFS 🥴🍉" (@Suzaku_is_tired), which is outlined in a thin black hand-drawn loop. The quote details medical struggles of four friends aged 30–40: Friend 1 had a stroke and is applying for disability; Friend 2 was diagnosed with a rare neuroimmune disorder; Friend 3 sees doctors constantly and was told it is perimenopause; Friend 4 was told their articulation pain is "all in my head." The quote has a timestamp of 10:56 PM · Sep 18, 2026, and 22.5K views. The main post has 18.4K views.
