Tonight, 47 Senators supported my resolution to get accountability for the 9 Americans killed on the West Bank & for Palestinians who face injustices daily. That's more support than we've ever had in this fight. Republicans blocked us, but we won't stop until we get justice.

Let this sink in. Cornell University refused to refund Jane Doe's tuition the semester she was raped. Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college.

A year ago today at the Broadview ICE facility. Greg Bovino led agents from ICE, Bureau of Prisons, Border Patrol, and ATF as they pushed protesters and press back from the gate they had erected outside of the facility. Chemical munitions were deployed, and detainments were made.

What I wanted to share was their passage on how they navigated those deeply distressing attacks on their humanity and demands for oversimplifying the deeply challenging process of building community amongst those who have been cast out of theirs.

How Have You Navigated Building Solidarity in the
Face of Those Challenges?
Within the collective, we’ve turned toward each other, affirming that we know
who each other is. With our extended community and collaborators, we’ve
started hosting a yearly weekend-long retreat here, where we share everything
we’ve accomplished over the last year and enjoy a big feast and celebration.
And with people outside our more immediate circles, we build solidarity in
many different ways, with many types of people. Some of us run a program that
gets money to incarcerated queer and trans folks, as well as emotional support,
legal help, and care when they are sick. Some of us connect immigrants in our
community with free driving lessons so they can get their licenses. Some of us
have been involved in nonviolent disobedience defending the sovereignty of
Indigenous land. We also build community with people whose stated values
might be in conflict with ours, like with the conservative neighbors who live on
our street. We got wind, for example, of the fact that the neighborhood we live
in used to have an annual block party that everyone loved, but it hadn’t
happened in years. So this year, some of us met with a group of neighbors and
organized a block party with them. When the day came, the weather was awful,
so we redirected the party into our house, had one of our friends’ Klezmer
bands play in the living room, and people who would never have spent time
socially spent hours together dancing. Since then, the vibe in the neighborhood
has changed, people smile and slow down and ask if we want rides when they
pass us walking. We try to practice solidarity across the board. If we want the
whole entire system we live under to change, we’re going to need alliances
everywhere.5

A lot of universities will be facing big deficits and looking to cure what ails them. I just want them to be thoughtful about it.

Screenshot of article which reads: At the same time, new job-focused majors may not be sustainable — and can even backfire. Dominique Baker, an associate professor of education and public policy at the University of Delaware, pointed to the rise in computer-science degrees in the 2010s. At the time, they seemed like the best way to secure a high-paying salary after graduation, she said. But with the rise of generative artificial intelligence, computer-science jobs are increasingly hard to find, and enrollment in such programs is falling significantly.
“When you tie the viability, the financial viability in particular, of an institution really tightly to jobs creation on that scale,” especially as a four-year institution, she said, “you have to be really careful, because you can find that in 10 years that program that you poured all your money into — worthless.”

Rumors about “rigged elections" are now a fixture of U.S. elections, leading to diminished trust in election results & democracy (broadly). These rumors can sometimes be hard to debunk, esp. in their early stages. Our UW team has identified the 6 common ways that election integrity rumors mislead:

Infographic titled "Six Ways 'Rigged Election' Rumors Mislead." A two-column table pairs six labeled categories with descriptions. The first three categories are:

No Evidence: The rumor is entirely unsubstantiated. There's no evidence to support the rumor.

Fake/False Evidence: The rumor is based on fake or synthetic evidence (e.g. AI-generated content), manipulated evidence, or false witness testimony.

Misinterpreted Evidence: This rumor is based upon real evidence that has been misinterpreted or intentionally mischaracterized to create a false impression.

A black banner then introduces the final three categories: "Real Evidence, Real Voting Issue, False Narrative."

Exaggerated Impact: The rumor centers on a real issue with voting but falsely insinuates or exaggerates impact on election results.

Ignored Remedies: The rumor centers on a real issue with voting but ignores and/or obscures the remedies that would address this problem

False Blame: The rumor centers on a real issue with voting but either falsely attributes intent for an accidental issue or places blame on an innocent party.

ICE's new policy is unprecedented. People who have detained for months are suddenly disappearing from the locator system — even if they haven't been moved. And people newly arrested are not showing up at all, their location now hidden from view. This will severely interfere with legal access.
