If we got rid of every single private prison in the U.S., we'd still have mass criminalization. Doesn't mean that private prisons shouldn't be shut down, it just means that public prisons drive incarceration in the U.S.

I've been wanting to write this for a while, about what the university "free speech wars" (today, plagiarism wars) are really about. Though right wing billionaires are driving the thing, the problems, and solutions, run much deeper. Welcome your thoughts.

The Real Lessons We Should Draw from Claudine Gay’s Resignationlpeproject.org Free speech at universities hangs in the balance. But defending it will require much more than just resisting the assaults coming from billionaires and right-wing influencers.

This is also why I find it totally bizarre to speak of questions of cross-national labor solidarity as if Israel and Palestine are just, like, parallel and separate counterparts.

While I don't know that I'd go quite this far, it's an important perspective! And surprisingly missing from a lot of even left commentary these months...

ugh, how is the weekend already almost over??!??
