Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

After a discussion with their attorney, I have confirmed that Juan, his 16-month-old sister, his mom, and his dad have been deported.

That must be why they're called ants. Otherwise they would be called uncles.

My students starting singing “We’re all in this together” when they realized Ramadan and Lent are at the same time this year. 🤣😩

The difference between a judicial warrant and an administrative warrant is the difference between a $20 bill and a napkin that a fascist wrote "twenty dollars" on.

do you think dragons ever want to take the drag off

Wow.

My variation on this is to just do the loud safe part as often as possible while not giving the shitheads on this site the attention they so crave. 😂 Screencap them and cut out their names & mock them brutally. No boost, no cred, nothing but the scorn they've earned and the invisibility they fear.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Here are 3 minutes from Yes, Prime Minister, a BBC sitcom from 1986, that I would show to every single Congressional Democrat if I could

Shark as the missing link(coln).

The proliferation of mobile games where your character opens a small business with almost no money and quickly becomes a millionaire is a capitalist tool to devalue labor and promote the myth that low-income workers can easily “pull themselves up by their bootstraps.” In this essay I will

But what these people fear more than anything is the living truth that the existence of trans people perfectly exemplifies: gender, including gender roles, is not immutable, it is a socially created category that some people benefit from at the expense of others.

My main opinion on Graham Platner is if there was a 41 year old guy running in the Republican primary for the Maine Senate seat and it turned out that he had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years and then he claimed that he just didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo, none of you would ever stop screaming about it.

"OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." This isn't a dead canary in the coal mine, it's a miner. AI doesn't work. www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

MAHA: Eating a giant steak cooked in butter alongside beef tallow fries and washing it down with coffee spiked with butter Not MAHA: Clean air, clean water, health insurance, vaccines, disease monitoring, scientific research, food assistance, food safety, bike lanes

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

These are a *seriously* satisfying fidget. My youngest’s absolute favorite.

Me at 20: I’ll have it all figured out by the time I’m 40. Me at 40: wtf do you mean they rearranged the grocery store

Lemme tell ya, job #6 is just one dam hassle after another.

Legs. So so so much legs. To the point that my brother (torso) is inches taller than me sitting down but I am slight taller than him standing up. I suck it up and buy the extra leg room seats when I travel if it is at all in the budget because UGH plane seats.

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

Also imprisoning women doesn’t not require incarcerating women, historically this has been achieved by confining women to their family homes and rendering them economically and legally dependent on men.

The man who was killed last night wasn't the first Black man killed by government forces in DC since the government occupation of DC. He's like the 6th or 7th. If you're Black, you know that's how it is, no one makes a fuss over our murders & they're not big news.

I try not to speak over/for trans people but as someone very much still unlearning bioessentialism and how to be less harmful, who ALSO has very *gendered* medical training my advice to other cis people is "Assume your strongly held opinions are based on utter biological cluelessness."

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Sorry I did not manage to fit everything I know and you know about the world into a single post/graphic/story. (evergreen skeet)

I can’t stop laughing about “and from New Jersey”

I just came from a deeply-informed talk about these supposed guardrails. They’re nonsense.

Anyway if you're never gonna own a house, go get some nice juice, you deserve at least SOMETHING decent in this shittastic world.

It does not matter if you take the child you use as bait and then kidnap to McDonald’s!!!!!

I'll never forget Surya Bonaly's name.

<Cringe post, don't care> I just gave a global health talk at Johns Hopkins, and one of their students came up afterward to introduce herself. She had taken my global health class at Emory, and she said that's what made her go into the field. Sometimes the things we do matter 🥹

Friends, can I ask you to spread the word that we have a THREE-YEAR postdoc in American history at Cambridge up for grabs - ANY field, but applications are due March 1 so don't delay - apply, apply, apply! networks.h-net.org/jobs/69790/u...

I do want to remind folks today that I would guess at least half of the horrors people are posting about in the SAVE Act? Already law in the much of south. They know it works because they did it to Black communities & everyone shrugged and made jokes about how we voted for every natural disaster.

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English” my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

Macbeth: SHIT

and like, if you're asking me to call their boss or my rep or to do SOMETHING ACTIONABLE, okay fine. you put that right out there and give me my marching orders. but why the fuck would I want to just know what they think *for no reason*

america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I'm sorry, what? They figured out a blood test for men's prostate cancer screening so they don't have to have a finger up their ass and we still have to sit in stirrups, have a speculum shoved in and get swapped and a finger test. fuck you.😡

normal person: hey man you gotta try these wings weird guy: the Super Bowl is woke now, I’m watching the toilet paper USA show

Every Winter Olympics I think of Surya Bonaly. I hope she is thriving.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Superb Owl snacks! Well, bird anyway. (My youngest loves both deviled eggs and penguins.)

crickets from the free speech crowd, of course

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen: A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained" But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.
