Today marked the end of my current affairs course at Cook County Jail. Students wrote op eds for their final assignment. Sharing this with permission from my student Sam, who uses a potent metaphor about the harms done by the punitive state. Please read!

Really excited to share this coauthored @uchicagogsu op-ed in the Maroon today: "As individuals invested in the robust intellectual legacy of our university, we see graduate unionization as the logical extension of that powerful tradition."

A school walkout is underway in Chicago. Students are marching for a remote option at schools as well as for other common sense school safety measures.

On 6/1 I was pepper sprayed by a member of @uchicago 's private police force while peacefully protesting. I submitted a use of force complaint. I received notice today that my allegations were deemed "unfounded" by an investigator. I'm unsurprised but really upset about this. 🧵
