Can I tell you about an amazing group of students, staff, and faculty at my university who are working together to advance educational equity and fight white supremacy? They call themselves The Cypher and I have visited their weekly meetings twice, and....wow. Follow Cypher at UMass Boston

From a student member of The Cypher: “There must be a shift in mindset and action that prioritizes the value of the educational success and health of BIPOC people over the price tag of our presence at this university.” Read on: umbcypher.medium.com/the-cost-of-pr…

What am I doing today? Joining in solidarity with my UMass Boston Leadership in Education Dept. & UMBEduAdm colleagues UMass Boston. Why?

Can y’all please use quotations marks when you are quoting our memes and my words? Has social media also stolen this classic punctuation that is used to give credit and denote a direct quote? What makes it so hard to simply use them?

I don’t believe in allies. I believe in co-conspirators willing to risk it all so we all can be free.

“We fail the people in our midst when we only think of them categorically—and also when we refuse to think of the categories that define them. It is important to attend to both how a person is “read” and how they are ‘misread.’l” Imani Perry

Many of the people I know who needed to "lay low" before getting tenure because they didn't want to mix up in "controversial topics" on campus are in their 15th year of laying low. Usually, tenure doesn't release you. It reveals you.

Do we mourn the killing of Israeli children? Yes. Can we act now 2 prevent killing of more Palestinian children?We must. The hypocrisy of decrying one set of civilian deaths while facilitating another is morally indefensible. Mass eviction/ bombing of Gazans= ethnic cleansing.

Harvard had a KKK chapter. They even burned crosses on campus. Harvard faculty also owned slaves. Harvard NEVER paid reparations. But they quickly moved mountains to settle and pay Pro- Israel students due Gaza protests.
