Calling for department chairs, deans, & univ admins to hold town halls with affected international students or meet them one-on-one to listen to their needs -- from their non-immigration status to fall course listing. This is the time we educators can ACTUALLY help. Please!

A reminder that #TamirRice was killed for having a toy gun, while #PatriciaMcCloskey pointed a gun at peaceful protesters with her hand ON the trigger & is still practicing law + sits on the Missouri Bar Association’s ethics panel. #BlackLivesMatter #Racist #America

The fragility of folks who won’t wear a mask is truly breathtaking. I lived for four years inside two internment camps, and I heard less bitching and whining there than I do today.
