Some time ago, a student told me that when she told her mom that her law professor in the U.S. was from Puerto Rico, and that he spoke Spanish, she started to cry. She couldn’t believe that her daughter would find someone in this space she could relate to. That was a very special conversation.

🚨What the hell is going on? 🧵 Another PUERTO RICAN family detained, a man tells Telemundo his sister, her mother in law, & a child were taken by ICE in Milwaukee & driven to facility where his sister explained they’re US CITIZENS. ICE response to this flagrant violation? “Sorry”

I wish people on the left would stop using “diversity hire” or “affirmative action” to describe folks like Hegseth. This reinforces the racist, sexist notion that diversity and affirmative action are promoting unqualified people, doing the right’s work for the.

A federal court has ruled that Florida can detransition inmates. Some trans inmates are having estrogen pulled, hair shorn, and put through state-run conversion therapy. This is the cruelty of abandoning incarcerated trans people. The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Abrazar la nacionalidad no es la meta. Es chévere, nostálgico y es importante, pero no se compara con lo que podemos lograr con un movimiento de base para que el Pueblo pueda participar en su futuro. Se requieren proyectos económicos y políticos equitativos. La liberación exige más que un momento.

He penetrated the top ranks of prominent right-wing militias & devised elaborate ruses to gather evidence of ties to high-ranking law enforcement officials. He was so successful, he became a militia’s top commander in Utah. The latest must-read from @josh-kaplan.bsky.social @propublica.org
