Some examples of academic gatekeeping: 1) telling someone their research “doesn’t count” 2) excluding adjuncts/staff from professional development or funding 3) drawing arbitrary disciplinary boundaries to exclude people 4) reinforcing faculty/staff hierarchies 5) defaulting to blind peer review

800,000 imprisoned people in the US produce $10 billion of value each year through their labor. $2 billion for private industry. The state of Alabama alone makes $450 million off the labor of incarcerated workers. We have a word for this. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

There are 800,000 incarcerated workers in the US, and they do roughly $10 billion worth of work a year, more than $2 billion of it for clients outside the prison system, according to a 2022 study by the American Civil Liberties Union and the University of Chicago. (The lawsuit estimates that the state of Alabama makes over $450 million off of prisoners’ labor.) “We wanted to bring an indictment against the entire system,” says one of the plaintiffs, Robert Earl Council, who goes by the moniker Kinetik Justice. That includes the companies they say profit from making inmates build auto parts, haul beer and ring up Big Macs, thanks to a system that ensures people deemed safe enough to work remain incarcerated and working on the cheap.

Anyone telling you Biden isn’t responsible for the violent crackdowns on campuses today is ignoring reality: 1) Students are protesting because Biden is arming and funding genocide. 2) Biden has repeatedly criticized the protests while ignoring the violent behavior of police.
