The main way you know someone went to graduate school is that they will seize any possible opportunity to say “liminal space.”

As I reflect on the past four years, I can't help but think of Congressman John Lewis' powerful words, "Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime.”

When a government erases history and denies objective reality, it is Orwellian. If a private company bars you from their social media platform for any reason at all, it’s not Orwellian. It is capitalism. #Orwell1984 #TwitterBansTrump

We can’t skip justice and get to peace.

“True peace,” my father said, “is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”

I'm never going to unite with the supporters of white supremacist insurrectionists who murdered a Capitol police officer, who wore 6MWE and Camp Auschwitz shirts, and who terrorized members of Congress. I definitely won't listen to elected Republicans who tell me to. #traitors

[John Legend @johnlegend]

Anyone who voted for this tragic shitty narcissist mess of a president bears responsibility for this debacle today. He has shown you exactly who he was all along. You still supported him. You are complicit in the attempted destruction of the country. You are not a patriot.

[Iprefernotto @jamiebunch98]

@BetsyDeVosED You did everything in your power to lay waste to public education. And when we needed educational leadership the most, you pushed schools to open without proper safety measures in place, risking countless teachers’ lives. Truly, you are the worst!

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We have witnessed two systems of justice: one that let extremists storm the U.S. Capitol yesterday, and another that released tear gas on peaceful protestors last summer. It’s simply unacceptable.

Merrick Garland will serve as the Attorney General of the United States — not as my personal lawyer.

I just finished grading papers for my 20th Century Dystopian Fiction class in which students examined parallels between current events and @MargaretAtwood #TheHandmaidsTale

One student wrote about how possible a coup by a militarized group could be in the United States, defending Atwood from critics who claim her dark vision of America is unrealistic. This student emailed me yesterday in shock and dismay.
