Enough … I'm already convinced that kids graduating today should go to trade school instead of college.
Universities and their DEI departments are all about "intersectionality," which is ranking people by how many ways they're oppressed by straight Christian white men, who are the oppressor. If you're black, you get one intersectionality point, and if you're a black woman, yet get another one, and so on. If you're a transgender illegal immigrant, you've hit the intersectionality jackpot.
Duke University Press is offering a scorching 30 percent off its new book by Eithne Luibhéid, "Abolitionist Intimacies: Queer and Trans Migrants Against the Deportation State." I looked her up … shockingly, she's a professor of gender and women's studies at the University of Arizona and holds a Ph.D. in ethnic studies from Berkeley. She's also lily white and looks to be in her 60s, although she's probably only 40-something.
Anyway, get it while it's hot:
Save 30% on #NewBook "Abolitionist Intimacies" by Eithne Luibhéid, which examines writings by & about queer- & trans-identified migrants & allies who contest US immigration practices & work toward a future without detention, deportation, & border controls.https://t.co/aW5gwIjIhX pic.twitter.com/L7xEdEHrDt

And that's Duke University Press' own blurb. A future without border controls. How about no? We tried that for four years.
Here's the blurb they link to:
“Building on her record as a foremost scholar of immigration, Eithne Luibhéid offers powerful and innovative heuristics for thinking about how queer and trans migrants and their allies leverage their intimacies to resist deportation infrastructures and build abolitionist futures. Thoroughly researched, masterfully argued, and elegantly written, Abolitionist Intimacies will shift how you think about immigration regimes, but more importantly, it will change what you believe is possible for changing them.”—Karma R. Chavez, author of The Borders of AIDS: Race, Quarantine, and Resistance
It will shift how I think about immigration regimes by making me think about how trans migrants and their allies "leverage their intimacies to resist deportation infrastructures and build abolitionist futures."
Sorry, lady, I voted for deportation infrastructures. My only complaint is that the deportations aren't happening quickly enough.
"Leverage their intimacies." What?
This, kids, is what the marxists have labeled "intersectionality", which is a Maoist tactics of gathering every malcontent together into one mob they think has common cause.

They are the first betrayed by the revolution.
Very well said. It all comes back to Marxism, every time.
You do realize that right after the communists seized power, the useful idiots were eradicated, right?

Most of US "academia" today is elementary school-level, pseudo-academic, politicized nonsense: Journalism/Communication Studies, Women's Studies, Black Studies, Gender Studies, Gender Equity Studies, Queer Studies, African Studies, African-American Studies, ...

A book about not having borders produced and sold by a school that doesn't let just anyone in. Want to get rid of borders? Let people go to your school for free

It's these useless majors that drag students into Ph.D. programs, where they spend half of their lives in school and the rest of it in some fantasy land far from reality.
