Love coming back from the movies to my notifications being filled by a bunch of right wing trolls who apparently think someone else on here is actually me on a burner account. Now I'm in the middle of some long running feud I have no idea about? I mean, who are these assholes?

They're all over this other account saying "we got you!" with a screenshot pic from my LinkedIn account (which I haven't done anything with in like 3 years). They must think they're elite hackers or something, but apparently this other account is in Canada, so...yeah.

So here's this guy in Canada, who seems like a good enough dude, with all these RWers tagging us both in an effort at mass harassment. And this dude is tweeting pics from in front of Tim Hortons and such saying "I am in Canada, you clowns," and they're like, NO, WE GOT YOU KEVIN

It's just so weird. Like, I'm not that subtle on Twitter. I'll say it to your face without a burner account. But these dudes keep tagging in a bunch of 3 percenters and sheriff's office accounts and crowing like they've uncovered antifa's corporate office or something.

But these super hacker geniuses are convinced I'm concocting some elaborate ruse to pretend I'm in Canada and maintain a sophisticated sock-puppet account operation. And now I've had to block like 4 dozen accounts bc I don't want them in my follower list finding others to target.

One of them tweeted something they found off of public records that we own a 2011 Dodge Caliber and they're acting like it's WikiLeaks or the Panama Papers. And I'm like, yeah, I'm in academia and this is how we roll on our salaries 😆

So, anyway, if any of you RW fuckers are reading this:
1. I don't have a burner so leave this other dude in Canada alone
2. You aren't nearly as internet savvy as you think
and
3. I'm sorry your lives are this sad.

GET READY FOR THE SMOKE

There are many students who want to learn the unvarnished truth about how race, racism, and violence have suffused History. They want to learn how to change the broken world their elders are leaving them. They are braver than our "leaders." And they deserve our best as teachers.

I would guess that this is a majority of students, to be honest. The mythical entitled "snowflake" hasn't been part of my experience. Not every student is as far along in their journey, but for the most part they have the intellectual courage and desire to get there.

The real "snowflakes" are the white conservatives who believe that even talking about structural racism is a mortal threat to their hegemony. They're afraid of everything, and letting their fear stoke their anger. But their hegemony is crumbling--they know it and we know it.

The sad part is that there are times where I feel like the Dem leadership either doesn't get it or doesn't care.

If you don't want people to be cynical, do the things you say you'll do in all these apocalyptic emails you send me imploring me to "stop Mitch." Binch, I voted for Y'ALL to do that. At least try.

"We need to elect more Democrats to stop the GOP!" Like...a majority, maybe? Boy imagine if we had that....

Have had some folks tell me my CRT thread is too snarky or condescending to "convince the other side." But what if that wasn't my point? What if I'm just pissed off at all the cynical bad faith tactics of the racist right? Why is our side held to such different expectations?

Them: CRT wants to put white people into jail if they can't define intersectionality.
Me: That's an absurd accusation
Them: *hours of demonstrable lies*
Me: soooo frustrating here's a sarcastic Twitter thread
Them: nay, sir; you must adhere to these lofty standards of discourse

Them: Critical Race Theory wants to turn Peoria into a gulag for whites
Me: OH COME ON
Them: No, really. That's what they told my kindergartener. FIRE THE TEACHERS
Me: JFC you people are delusional
The Discourse-Havers: Hey Kevin if you weren't so elitist maybe they'd listen

So I'm at the airport, traveling for the first time in 16 months (when I was doing 2-3 trips a month pre-covid) and I am pleasantly surprised at the 100% mask-wearing rate. It's weird being back in this space, though, not gonna lie.

Welp, engine trouble and we're turning around back to Des Moines. Now this is the type of fun travel experience I remember. 😕

Our airplane today

So. You don't think Critical Race Theory "should be taught in our schools" and want to ban it. Please answer the following questions or I will assume you're a clueless lemming who's angry because Tucker Goddamn Carlson told you CRT means you go to jail if you're white. /1

First question: describe Critical Legal Theory's arguments about systems vs. individuals when it comes to juridical harm and how those influenced the development of Critical Race Theory. /2
