A largely cosmetic, post-election vote whose primary purpose is providing a modicum of moral distance for Democrats after their party leader lockstep supported a genocide for 410 days and still only 18 democrats backed the measure. Absolutely disgraceful.

It is extremely disheartening that the first thing I have to do when grading student assignments is try to check whether or not they're using Generative AI to do their work for them....
Any of my friends here have experience with a Fulbright award? Starting to think about getting my application materials together for a 2026-2027 Fulbright to fund a research trip to the Philippines and I am just completely lost.
First day as a lecturer is in the books! Really excited to get going with this class on Power, Politics, & Asian America this semester, and already invigorated by my students’ interest in the course.
Few things fill my heart with more joy than notes and messages from students thanking me for the course, for helping them better understand themselves in relation to their histories, and as I'm grading final papers I'm crying at my desk

What is the word for the phenomenon whereby an institution benefits from the work of activists—the same activists the institution tried to silence and destroy—without acknowledging or giving credit to the source? I keep thinking “plagiarism,” but that doesn’t feel 100% correct.
Currently grading some final exam/video reflections for the high school course I'm TAing and it's so heartening and encouraging to see young students critically and thoughtfully engaging with ethnic studies, and often bringing up ideas I never would have thought of at their age.

stop using the term "counterprotest(ers)" when they're actually 1) off duty/ex-police (eg Jan 6), 2) zionist/pro-genocide zealots, and/or 3) state sanctioned/condoned right wing terrorists.

Holy shit... UCR admin has agreed to all of the demands made by UCR Students for Justice in Palestine 🇵🇸🍉
UCSD announces the cancellation of the 2024 Sun God Festival, citing a need for increased police and security presence at Library Walk, where students have occupied and constructed an encampment protesting the genocide in Palestine.
Only a few hours after the encampment at UCSD began, the university administration has deployed police and security to intimidate students. This is cowardly behavior by the Chancellor's office and the corporate, neoliberal university.
Joshua Bender, M.A. retweeted
Students have declared an encampment in solidarity with Gaza on the @JohnsHopkins campus just now - I reproduce their five demands in full

Right after Biden does Netanyahu's bidding & says the International Criminal Court doesn't have "jurisdiction" to hold Israel accountable for war crimes in Gaza, Netanyahu now says Israel will invade Rafah—where 1 million+ Palestinians take refuge—with no regard for the hostages
