Proud to stand with 150+ educators in higher education to support Brandon Johnson for Mayor. @Brandon4Chicago Full signed statement: https://t.co/Aek27eYPk6
You know what’s interesting? I just reread “The Propaganda of History” from “Black Reconstruction” and, as I thought, W.E.B. DuBois initially sympathizes with Sweet’s.
@NewYorker's drive by thru academia this week is terrifying and proof that all the journos on staff went to fancy slacs and ivies and are still obsessed with their professors
Some people have asked how they can help support us -sharing on social media, joining us on the picket line, and contributing to our strike fund (if you are able to) means the world. Any bit of solidarity helps, thank you for standing with us ✊❤️

New article alert! In WMQ 80:1, @HayleyNegrin explores how Native women navigated the distinction between slavery & sovereignty in the early South in "Cockacoeske's Rebellion: Nathaniel Bacon, Indigenous Slavery, & Sovereignty in Early Virginia." https://t.co/l2DqPXuBeG
REMINDER:
Urge all @UICUF members to stop work and join picket lines 10-12 and 1-3, and noon rallies on quad. Pickets operate at UH, SES, Lecture Centers, and College of Nursing. More info at:

Restrictive immigration policies & deterrence strategies have long made migrants vulnerable to human smuggling and labor trafficking.
In @madebyhistory, I make the case that the multibillion-dollar smuggling industry is enriched, not obstructed, by punitive border enforcement.
