Did this fool just say “We must reject political violence of any kind”?!?!
- In the name of #CharlieKirk
- As he spurs on #MAGA bros
- After kidnapping a sitting president
- As cities are under siege by federal forces…
Trump IS political violence.

And fuck @HulkHogan .. he has always been a racist fuck!!!

[Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk]

One of the most violent racist ideas is the notion that Latinos are hyper-sexual. Which feeds the racist notion that Latino immigrants are “rapists,” to use Trump’s term, justifying racist vigilante and police violence. The same idea feeds the racist notion that Latina immigrants can’t be raped, covering up the sexual violence they routinely face. If this sounds familiar to Black, Native, and Asian Americans, then that is because these racist ideas of hyper-sexuality have been ascribed to women and men in our communities too.

I dont know how to feel about this. I am wondering though if teaching students an ethical way of using chatgpt will be more productive and beneficial to them then just trapping them.

[Harsha Walia (she/her) @HarshaWalia]

Anti-migrant xenophobia, & underlying bordering logic, *is* the linchpin of global far right politics & fascism.

To be anti-racist is to be anti-border. To be anti-imperialist is to be anti-border. To be anti-capitalist is to be anti-border. To be anti-fascist is to anti-border.

@SomosAnalistas_ Ya espero ver a Aitor Cardone en el equipo!! Jaja

[Jairo I. Fúnez-Flores @Jairo_I_Funez]

Colonial powers will continue to portray anti-colonial resistance as savagery, barbarism, and terrorism, but the global majority already knows that these terms more accurately reflect the West’s actions for over five centuries.

[Raul MenSam @RaulMS_MA]

Apparently us PhDs cannot change the world. Lol im sad by this reality.. by the way do we even need a PhD or an EdD to change the world or is this just part of a bigger elitist discourse?
