Historian, parent. I wrote a book on capitalism, law and employee injuries https://tinyurl.com/natesradbook Other stuff I do https://tinyurl.com/natesotherstuff
I can't remember if I said this before on here. This has links to all the posts I did over the summer about writing my book - writers block, intellectual loneliness and intellectual community, how I revised, etc. legalhistoryblog.blogspot.com/2020/07/thank-…

#BREAKING One-third of Gaza's population has not eaten in several days, WFP report shows
It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.
UPDATE: Workers at FOUR key US science agencies have now filed letters of dissent against their leadership. After initially delaying their letter due to fears of retaliation, NSF workers have gone ahead anyway, and joined their colleagues at NIH, EPA, and NASA in speaking up.
Workers at 3 of the most important US science agencies — NIH, EPA, and NASA — have now filed letters of dissent against their leadership.
We’re now into a second summer where violent disorder by racists is being glossed over and excused whilst peaceful protests are stigmatised and criminalised.

Don’t write for fame or money. Write because you agreed to a deadline, forgot the deadline, and just remembered the deadline
Children are literally starving to death in Gaza. The Israeli government is using starvation as a weapon of war and using our taxpayer dollars to do it. This plain cruelty must stop. nbcnews.com/world/middle-e…

🎬 Golden Globe winner Toni Collette: “Gaza is starving. Words won’t feed them. Sanction Israel.” A powerful voice saying what world leaders won’t. It’s time for action, not silence
due to a series of deeply evil actions on columbia's part that i don't even have the heart anymore to go into, i'm without a teaching position in the fall and unemployed. if anyone knows of literally any kind of job opening anywhere, i'd be so grateful if you'd reach out.
"This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal" presently runs through my head at least five times a day
Globalize the reminder that Israel is starving 2 million people to death.
this past semester I had one student say it was the best course they’ve ever taken & another say I shouldn’t be allowed to teach it ever again lol
This is a Disaster - They are going to try to take ALL of the West Bank
🚨Now that the men imprisoned by the Trump admin in El Salvador are free, their stories are coming out; and they are horrific. One man describes how Salvadoran officials at the prison beat them regularly, stole money from them, and denied them medical care — even painkillers.
“U.S. deportees, freed from Salvadoran prison, describe ‘horror movie’” Their accounts mirror Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s descriptions of torture at CECOT. via WaPo🎁🔗 wapo.st/3GZuXCW
I'm not a philosopher so idk for sure but my experience as an undergrad philosophy major in a dept that put a big emphasis on ethics as subject matter was ethics classes were generally places where students hold or at least temporarily considered fairly extreme views. idk why.
Last time i taught medical ethics students agreed that people in prison shouldn't receive medical care and we should just let them die, alternatively, we could harvest their organs or use them for medical experiments
