This is the whole game. Donating money to a university can be more lucrative than investing it through other channels because the donor can reap their own fees when the university invests it with them.

I've updated my US university endowment charts to add my 2 ¢ on the circular-economy aspect of the Griffin g(r)ift: More than 50% of the gifts made by people like Griffin to places like Harvard are handed back, the very next day, to people like Griffin. It's a beautiful thing.

I love all my students’ research paper topics equally but one student is presenting today on Amiri Baraka & the League of Revolutionary Struggle, as well as the broader New Communist Movement, and I got a little giddy when I saw their PowerPoint slides.

Ok, but: Baltimore is literally full of such walls, still delineating white from Black, still physically separating neighborhoods and people. Let’s tear them all down.

A wall known as “Spite Wall” finally came crumbling down this morning on Hillen Rd. near Morgan State Univ. The wall, constructed in the segregated 1930’s, was used as a barrier to show where African-Americans could live. Morgan President Dr. Wilson led the ceremony. @WMAR2News

Cops were illegally parked on the sidewalks at 70 out of 77 NYPD precincts in NYC, according to a new study. "For people who live near precincts, their most frequent interaction with the police will be observing them breaking the law"

The Iraq war is passing from America's memory but not mine. I don't know whether we'll ever accept moral & legal responsibility but until a reckoning comes, the truth must be kept alive. Here's what I witnessed 20 years ago today at the Diyala Canal outside Baghdad. (Thread)

It sounds like the most highly secret satellite technology this leak disclosed—LAPIS time-series video—resembles the spy plane recording technology that was tested in Baltimore in 2020, probably with AI and signals collection added. Just a guess. Will be interested to learn more.

A student who took my Social Theory class four years ago got in touch to ask a pressing question: Do I still use Rihanna's "Work" to illustrate what Marx is talking about when it comes to labor? They said Rihanna really helped them whenever other professors mentioned Marx.

this thread from a bond hearing of people charged with "domestic terrorism" at a Stop Cop City music festival is nuts. denied bond for having legal support phone number on them. extremely common (often advised as best practice!) at protests of all stripes

jesus. the next person is denied bond. being held against them is the fact that they had a jail support number on them. that's being painted as evidence they came to commit a crime, when in fact, it's evidence that we live in a horrifying police state

Such a good piece on the parallels between the "Gulf Cartel" and the Mexican military, which both sacrificed a set of foot soldiers after massacres, in twin bids for legitimacy while doing nothing to minimize the ongoing violence.
