- Reposted by Teagan BradwayAbsolutely! At my last teaching job: almost all undergrads worked at least one job (sometimes more), many had caretaking duties, a high percentage of first gen students.

- Reposted by Teagan BradwayDisappearing people to avoid the jurisdiction of the court in which they were taken by the state is authoritarian to the core and runs afoul of the spirit of Article III, the Due Process Clause, and the principles that emerged from the Glorious Revolution and the American Revolution. Arbitrary rule.
