Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.

Our hearts are with the families of both fathers, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero. These killings are heartbreaking and unacceptable. It’s time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

This sounds like what many students likely run into, unfortunately. “…at first she fed her story into AI for a grammar check, it suggested line edits and she accepted, then it asked if she wanted structural edits, then it offered to rewrite the entire piece.”

Well, I don't expect any news on the Canvas front tonight so I will step away from my laptop and stop checking campus email for now. Only two more weeks until the end of the semester too. I can't SMDH enough.

How this hasn't been identified, isolated, and 'fixed' by now is ridiculous. Something like this seems to happen often. Not always ransomware, but the outcome of multiple sites being down due to ONE company's infrastructure issues (you can tell I'm not an IT person, not sure how to word it).

In this economy, working people don’t have the time or money to drive longer distances or wait in long lines to get a passport or other documents to vote—but that’s what the SAVE America Act would do. The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. bit.ly/4s84swO

I was glad to see many of my students mention this in a recent discussion. Many wrote that one of the challenges they faced when writing exam items was realizing that the wording of a question could affect understanding. 🎯 I hope that helps them think more critically when responding to surveys.

This photo was taken of miners at the end of their shift during the Gilded Age before they were unionized. A Labor Day reminder of the blood, sweat, and tears that those before us paid to give the working class the basic rights that Trump and his thugs are trying to strip away.
