*very* striking to me that trump's two big losses at SCOUTS--first the fed, now tariffs--are both about core macroeconomic institutions, namely free trade and an independent central bank. "go nuts on culture, go nuts on immigration, but DO NOT TOUCH the neoliberal consensus"

I hadn't cried about how much I love Minneapolis in a few days, so this was a good one to read: "Minnesotans will continue to keep Minnesotans safe until we rid the state of the federal occupation, just like lake ice is weakened by springtime sunshine and subsumed by the water below."

Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it. Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

Public libraries are actually existing examples of the world we want. We should not have to fight for them under a democratic socialist mayor. @nycplan.org is organizing a response. Tell Mamdani to make good on his commitment to baseline funding for libraries! nycplan.org

I wrote about how much I love the public library, and how upset I am that Zohran Mamdani is not only breaking his promise to increase the library budget, he’s actually threatening to CUT the library budget. Includes action items for New Yorkers! No paywall.

Appreciate this piece as younger generations are both targeted and also making the path "Children are not figures of innocence for political rhetoric, or ​“bait” for federal agents to use in hunting down parents. Young people are not just a part of our struggles, but at the forefront of them."

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

ICE and CBP haven’t withdrawn from a single fucking U.S. city that they’ve occupied.

“Historians call this passageway a masterwork of deliberate concealment, designed to be absolutely invisible to slave catchers or city marshals during the 19th-century”

“what we’re witnessing is…on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, & Chinese labor camps…The admin is actively aspiring to a system of that magnitude to reshape society to its racial, political & cultural prefs for generations”

No children should be in ICE detention.

Dear God.

We have updated DetentionReports.com with the most recently released data from ICE. Many people have asked that we add a map to the home page. We have added this feature. Click one of the blue icons to proceed to the report of the corresponding detention facility. detentionreports.com

just an update from when we talked to the reporter: we’ve now successfully connected over 100 families for direct, peer to peer rent adoption. we’ve collected and immediately distributed…a lot. it is a drop in the bucket, but all of this is. everyone is just doing what they can.

“This is the latest example of how the U.S. government is using a controversial type of legal request, called an administrative subpoena, to demand that tech companies turn over the private data of individuals who have been critical of the Trump administration.”

Trump, who says he had "no idea" at the time that Epstein sexually molested girls, told the police in 2006 that "everyone has known he’s been doing this.” That's according to an FBI interview with the then-Palm Beach police chief. Here's a gift link to Julie K. Brown's article in the Miami Herald.

9-year-old Maria Antonia Guerra from Colombia was detained on her way to Disney World. She told me when I met her that what was supposed to be a 10-day dream vacation to the park’s Halloween celebration turned into a 100+ day nightmare at Dilley. 6/

"Rape was a concept no one had heard of before it was invented by Ronan Farrow in 2017" these people are unbelievable.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

NEW: Members of congress, election officials and pro-voting advocates are denouncing Trump’s rapidly-escalating push to overtake elections from states. But Trump is doubling down, and instead pushing to “nationalize voting.”

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox
