🎬 Come and see The Fight For Haiti, a documentary directed by Etant Dupain (ED). It will be taking place at Northeastern University’s Blackman Auditorium (342 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115) between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM organized by the Africana Studies Program.

Even more, I discuss how political rhetoric will influence how masks are criminalized, regardless of what the laws say - or even if your state has a law! Arrest patterns follow social trends more than legal trends. 5/ thesicktimes.org/2024/09/03/per…

The culture in academia that you must be willing to pick up and move anywhere in the world for a TT job prioritizes single men over everyone else. What if you can’t move? What if you have family obligations? What if your spouse has a good job? Or your kids are in a good school?

Nate Silver is what happens when you defund the humanities.

The current protest movement in Israel has really made it apparent that when so many American Jewish organizations say we need to “stand with Israel,” what they mean is “stand with Israel’s current government,” over and above standing with many of its citizens.

In case you needed any more evidence that Nate Silver is not someone with any real understanding of or grasp on politics

This is a heartbreaking story. A 16-year old was the only one wearing a mask at school to protect her immunocompromised mother. But she was bullied into unmasking and caught COVID, which infected and killed her mother. archive.ph/2024.09.05-093…

Republicans would rather monitor teenagers’ menstrual cycles than prevent them from being shot

זה מחריד: פעילת שלום אמריקאית נורתה עכשיו למוות, בראשה, על ידי חיילי צה"ל בהפגנה השבועית בכפר ביתא שליד שכם שבגדה המערבית. צעדה שבועית שבכל פעם נתקלת בירי של אש חיה, פשוט כי אין דרך חוקית לפלסטינים להפגין תחת השלטון הצבאי הישראלי בגדה המערבית. גם חופש הפגנה אין תחת הכיבוש.

Americans who attack Israeli human rights activists, while serving as mouthpieces for a government that four out of five Israelis want gone, are no better than Putin apologists. At least the apologists are compensated.

I can’t believe people are discussing if I’m famous enough to be on #ClubShayShay or #Vladtv because I “left the limelight” and not that I was “ostracized” for holding a high profile #abuser accountable.

This 🤬 makes me 😡. We have Clarence Thomas & Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court… & we want to tag Haiti as corrupt??

Dr Alyssa #StopHaitianDeportations Sepinwall It is even worse than that: the corruption is done by officials imposed on Haiti by the Department of State over the past 14 years.

The IDF shot (in the head) and killed a 26-year old American at a protest in the occupied West Bank today. She was an alumna of the University of Washington University of Washington, where I teach, who majored in psychology and minored in Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Why not say, "After summoning reporters to what his campaign billed as a news conference, Trump took no questions and instead ranted for 45 minutes." I mean, kudos to the Post with putting the lack of questions in the lede. Progress! But we don't need to call a speech a presser

Just got a Teams msg, which is normally annoying cuz I use email & not Teams. But the request from an admin: "Is there a 🇭🇹restaurant in SD? We want to cater a lunch for a talk by (my new Haitian-Amer colleague) & we don't know of any." 🤗Ask me THAT anytime! 😋

The Vice President rattled Capitol Hill-created professional briefcase carriers with tough questions like: "What does that mean?" or "Did you check the source?" or "Please explain this?" Can I vote for her twice?

Meanwhile, some of the young people separated by the Trump administration from their parents are now speaking out as part of an organized effort:

LOL, Nate Silver's brilliance is making the rounds today with his tweet from 2 years ago about Eric Adams. I didn't remember I'd called it out at that time until someone just liked it. 😁 #SadlyHeWasntKidding

I just heard Brian McKnight's #OneLastCry and it's going to be hard to go to my department meeting right after encountering all that raw emotion! 😁
