At many elite universities, administrators are making $800k+ per year and chancellors/presidents are making over a million dollars. This all while adjunct professors are making so little that they qualify for food stamps. Higher education has a problem.

I can really only handle like 2 minutes of LinkedIn before I just get upset that the platform has become such a part of the career/job landscape and how much performativity goes into it.

There's really only so much whiteness I can take. I recognize how we have to jump on large-scale momentum while also holding the frustration that it takes killing two white people to actually reach such a level. The collective disregard for people of color as the sacrifices of the status quo is loud

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed. ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos. 9 TOTAL. ABOLISH ICE.

White supremacy is when Republican men and women in their 20s & 30s praising Hitler, genocide, and rape are “just kids”—but 18-year-old Michael Brown was no angel, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was a thug, 16-year-old Kalief Browder was a criminal, and 12-year-old Tamir Rice should’ve known better.😐

BREAKING: The Supreme Court — over the objection of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson — allows the Trump administration’s racial profiling of people working certain types of jobs in its immigration raids during litigation.
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
-
No. 25A169
-
KRISTI NOEM, SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, ET AL. U. PEDRO
VASQUEZ PERDOMO, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[September 8, 2025]
The application for stay presented to JUSTICE KAGAN and by her referred to the Court is granted. The July 11, 2025 order entered by the United States District Court for the Central District of California, case No. 2:25-cv-5605, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and
JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting.
In early June, the Government launched immigration enforcement raids across Los Angeles and its surrounding counties. During the raids, teams of armed and masked agents pulled up to car washes, tow yards, farms, and parks and began seizing individuals on sight, often before asking a single question.
A Federal District Court found that these raids were part of a pattern of conduct by the Government that likely violated the Fourth Amendment. Based on the evidence before it, the court held that the Government was stopping individuals based solely on four factors: (1) their apparent race or ethnicity; (2) whether they spoke Spanish or English with an accent; (3) the type of location at which they were found (such as a car wash or bus stop); and (4) the type of job they appeared to work. Concluding that stops based on these four factors alone, even when taken together, could not satisfy the Fourth Amendment's requirement of reasonable suspicion, the District Court temporarily enjoined the Government from continuing its pattern of unlawful mass arrests while it considered whether longer-term relief was appropriate.Instead of allowing the District Court to consider these troubling allegations in the normal course, a majority of
2
NOEM v. VASQUEZ PERDOMO
SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting
this Court decides to take the once-extraordinary step of staying the District Court's order. That decision is yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.*
*
The Fourth Amendment protects every individual's constitutional right to be "free from arbitrary interference by law officers." Brignoni-Ponce, 422 U.S., at 878. After to-day, that may no longer be true for those who happen to look a certain way, speak a certain way, and appear to work a certain type of legitimate job that pays very little. Because this is unconscionably irreconcilable with our Nation's constitutional guarantees, I dissent.

Meta explicitly enabled its chat bots to engage in sexually explicit chats with young children. This company is fundamentally evil. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
This screenshot claims that a Reuters investigation revealed Meta allowed its chatbots to engage in “sensual” chats with minors, according to an internal document titled "GenAI: Content Risk Standards." It alleges that the document included examples of permissible chatbot behavior involving romantic engagement with kids, and that CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushed for more engaging chatbot interactions after finding cautious designs “boring.”

Not only does this bill strip healthcare from millions of people, steal our money for billionaires, and explode the deficit by trillions. It also gives $170 billion to the regime’s deportation efforts. More ICE. More kidnappings. More concentration camps. Their evil has no limits—this is fascism.

It's funny how universities and academia are positioned in the U.S. as liberal bastions here to 'radicalize' youth -- when in reality, they're reflective of the business of education where shady practices are actively deployed to negatively impact marginalized groups.
