The gig economy promised flexibility. Did it deliver or just create new precarity? @julietschor.bsky.social brought decades of research to bear on this question in a fascinating lecture and discussion @Institute for Advanced Study. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZWW... www.instagram.com/p/DWY6rMDiXD...

I'm excited for the third No Kings Day. Based on the amount of activity I'm seeing, I expect it to be significantly bigger than the previous ones. Don't miss this historic day. Please join, even if you're not a usual protest-goer. The world needs you!

Honored and delighted that Professor @julietschor.bsky.social will deliver the 2026 IAS Lecture on Public Policy: “Rethinking Platform Labor” on March 10, 2026. Curated by the School of Social Science. In-person with recording available afterward. Register: www.ias.edu/events/lectu...

And here's a paper featuring work from @giorgoskallis.bsky.social, @julietschor.bsky.social, @jasonhickel.bsky.social, and a bunch of other folks relating to the validity of our current economic models when pushing up against our planetary boundaries. bsky.app/profile/mich...

Exciting news! The incomparable @naomioreskes.bsky.social and Alexander Kaurov have started a substack called "Reckoning Science." We need this content more than ever. I've just subscribed--hope you will too. reckoningscience.org/launching-re...

ICE has been tracking the names of protesters in an internal database for several months, according to two ICE officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss operations.

Blue states need to pass laws that keep all Federal agents 10 miles away from any voting site or drop box or be subject to immediate arrest and incarceration until the voting is over.

🚨BREAKING: Steve Bannon said Tuesday that the federal government is planning to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to patrol polling stations during this year’s midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

this is what’s happening everywhere they go in force ordinary people will not be cowed the same way elite society has been we are going to win

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.

Yes #Clawitback

2% of immigrants detained in Minnesota have any record of violent crime. And yet…today, “President Trump…vilified the thousands of people arrested by ICE in Minnesota, falsely describing them as “hardened, vicious, horrible criminals. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

A reminder that Maura Healey is the ONLY Democratic governor in New England governor to have a collaboration agreement with ICE. Healey, despite her words, continues to use OUR tax dollars to provide free labor to ICE. Let her know it's time to de-ICE MA. www.mass.gov/info-details...

Charles Sumner is the patron saint of pedocon theory www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-t...

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

This is a really incredible piece. Share it widely 🎁https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/01/minneapolis-uprising/685755/?gift=C-rzmQ8PsUHt15odxTKJDn7xrpPNxSpotkNz_P27oI0

The story is not that there are two conflicting versions of what happened. The story is that the federal government is lying about what happened. There is plenty of evidence. Your job, our job, is to sift that evidence and describe what actually happened ffs.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity. They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

"ICE is a criminal organization"

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

The statement from Alex Pretti’s parents is just “tell the government to stop telling smirking, transparent lies about why it killed our son” which feels like a new low for our nation. This president and his toadies have brought us to our knees and must be driven out

His name was Alex Jeffrey Pretti -37-year-old Male -U.S. Citizen -Registered Licensed Nurse -Worked for Veterans Affairs Executed on the streets of Minneapolis by the Gestapo Nazi Scum known as ICE and DHS.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Current temp in Minneapolis: -12°F (-24°C), -28°F wind chill (-33°C) Thousands of people are congregating downtown for today's General Strike march against ICE. Thousands more are on their way. Of course we are going to win.

Looking forward to this March 9 conversation with @chrislhayes.bsky.social on attention, democracy, and The Siren's Call at the Center for Brooklyn History. Details below: www.bklynlibrary.org/calendar/cbh...

There is no recalibrated or sanitized way to conduct the war that Trump and Stephen Miller are waging on American cities right now. That’s because it’s a campaign of deliberate terror. The policy *is* the terror, and the terror *is* the policy. newrepublic.com/article/2053...

Update: The admin is moving to quickly deport witnesses who saw ICE detainee die. They say the man was just trying to get his meds. ICE guards shackled him Then they choked him. The admin moved to deport the witnesses — right after they spoke to WaPo. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

🧵 Trump administration AI policy is widely described as deregulatory. This description is misleading. What's happening is not the absence of governance but its rearrangement--intensive state intervention operating through mechanisms we don't typically call regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Everything Trump is doing now (from from Portland to Minneapolis to Chicago) is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but I've been warning for months of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

The First Amendment protects the public’s right to: 1. Film ICE in public 2. Photograph ICE in public 3. Observe what ICE does in public ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.

BREAKING: We've found 40+ cases of agents using banned chokeholds & other moves that can cut off breathing People have had seizures. They passed out. “I felt like I was going to die” said 16-yr-old citizen Admin won't say whether any agents have been punished www.propublica.org/article/vide...

I am calling for the arrest and prosecution of the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good. I am also calling on Congress to support my bill with @jasmineforus.bsky.social to force ICE agents to wear body cameras, not wear masks, have visible identification & ensure ICE has independent oversight.

An excellent speech. Worth reading the whole thing. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Please stop and read this statement from Renee Good's wife.

This is the way and every single Democrat should be on board. It won't get anywhere before the midterms, but it will make the midterms easier for Democrats to win and easier to take action on these promises once they do. Be the party of accountability. Own that space, starting now.

Swalwell to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "I’m not voting to fund this ICE. I support getting rid of their immunity. I support requiring them to take off the masks ... This ICE is not what anybody asked for, and I’m not going to vote to continue it." Full episode: newrepublic.com/article/2051...

We are not here to debate. We are here to dismantle. ICE’s violence is not “unfortunate.” It’s intentional. It’s deadly. This weekend — we gather to demand accountability — and to build power. #ICEOutForGood social.demcast.com/s/G9n7pPTc

Fortune 500 companies that have contracts with ICE: -Amazon -AT&T -Booz Allen Hamilton -Caci -Charter Communications -Comcast -Dell -Ecolab -FedEx -General Dynamics -L3Harris -Motorola -Thermo Fisher -UPS Know who profits from Trump's cruelty.

As everyone talks about Greenland, don't forget its actual global significance--a two mile thick sheet of ice that if melted would raise the sea level 23 feet (and long before that choke off the currents of the Atlantic) open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Today marks 5 years since Trump incited the deadly attack on our Capitol. Ever since, Trump has tried to downplay January 6, pardoning the rioters who assaulted brave law enforcement officers. We must continue to defend our democracy and never let this history be erased.

Bostonians hold quick-reaction protest against regime's kidnapping of Venezuelan president, his wife www.universalhub.com/2026/bostoni... #Boston #Venezuela #war

Why is the New York Times saying Maduro was ousted when he was kidnapped?

Thank god Chuck Schumer isn’t alive to see this.

Very sweet video by @billmckibben.bsky.social and his dog just showed up in my inbox. Feeling so lucky to be alongside them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qScf...
