From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

A bad thing is unfolding at NIH this week: It looks like the Trump administration is trying to replace key civil servant scientific leaders, the Institute Directors, with political hires. These directors control the NIH budget, tens of billions. A bit of a video explainer here: 1/ 🧪

We all am sponge

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

My fellow Worcesterites, Holy Cross University has allowed an ICE agent, Ryan Vasquez, to attend their upcoming career day in a recruiting capacity. Tell their president what you think of this. Holy Cross President: Vincent Rougeau [email protected] [email protected] 508 793 2525

YES!!! JUDGE ORDERS OVER 600 DETAINEES BE RELEASED ON BOND FROM BROADVIEW AND ELSEWHERE!! A short while ago Judge Cummings of the Illinois District Court *ordered* DHS to allow more than 600 detainees to be released on bond, provided they don't have a criminal record or a prior order for removal.

Idk, he may be worth a second look

Why is @michiganstateu.bsky.social certifying hate groups to teach medicine?

Let's check in on what men have been up to

In a number of cases, anonymous single-paragraph complaints, with no supporting evidence provided, spurred full-scale Title VI investigations. “Government civil rights enforcement is now being driven by the equivalent of a YouTube comment section.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Every trans person, family member or ally who has spoken to the nyt has been exploited and abused. Every expert who has spoken to the nyt has seen their words twisted and misrepresented.

#ICE returned the immigrant they shoved in a Texas prison - to a windowless 8x10 room with no bed in the basement of a Burlington office building www.universalhub.com/2025/ice-ret... #Massachusetts #immigrants

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Inside Bill Kristol there are two wolves. One wants to bomb the Middle East. The other wants a revolution of the working class.

This was horrific to watch. Agents entering a daycare, wrestling with and abducting a teacher in front of small screaming children. I just… what the fuck are we doing here.

Democrats won every major election yesterday by wide margins. Here's why that's bad news for Democrats.

Just want to see one (1) news story on how toxic the Republican brand is among average, everyday Northeast urbanites, and how that should be seen as a major crisis for Republicans. Unfortunately I won’t bc this is still a country where cows and empty land get strong political representation

Trump's efforts to instrumentalize Jewish voters have largely failed, and he is extremely mad about it

Tonight, in Chicago, North Side rapid responders and community members held a vigil. At least ten people were abducted by ICE in Rogers Park alone today. We uplifted the message RESIST ICE in lights. We spoke out, sang together, grieved, and reaffirmed our commitment to defending our neighbors.

The Hasidic Jewish Community Council of Williamsburg is endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social !!! Tell me again about the antisemitism hysteria, centrist mainstream US rabbis, tell me. Via Rabbi @abbystein.bsky.social

Tapping the sign

since we just had Halloween i think we need a selfie thread. i expect you all to meet the #MathCoffeeSelfie deadlines no matter how late i post the thread. lets see em!

As sponsor, I will be participating in an in person hearing to ensure access to lifesaving online resources for LGBTQIA+ & other marginalized communities in response to proposed state & federal digital censorship legislation on Weds. 11/12 at 2pm. www.boston.gov/public-notic...

Councilor Santana has been a leading voice in the Council on issues impacting the LGBTQIA+ community. 👉 Santana needs your vote. VOTE. I won't forget a former At Large Councilor's remarks re. "men in wigs." Or Councilors who retweeted Herald BS after a tragic incident. Step aside, Old Boston.

I’ve created my first custom feed: posts based on William Carlos Williams’ poem “This Is Just To Say.” It doesn’t have filtering or much sophistication, but initial preview looked ok. Please let me know about issues. bsky.app/profile/did:...

The ADL confirms it is no longer a civil rights organization. We need to build up alternative Jewish orgs that recognize that none of us are free until we all are. www.jta.org/2025/10/29/u...

CBS News' Race & Culture unit is cut. Weiss criticized it last year after it met with Tony Dokoupil, who ignored show plan & said Ta-Nehisi Coates's book could be "in the backpack of an extremist." Now: Unit cut & Dokoupil just did a softball Netanyahu interview right before Israel broke ceasefire

These indictments are disgusting. I was there when these alleged crimes *did not* occur. The only violence that occurred was committed by ICE, as usual.

"But that antisemitism will be definitively cured, without curing the larger disease of nationalism, I do not believe." George Orwell

Elite-college-educated NYTimes writers love to cite the elite-college-educated JD Vance in explaining to their elite-college-educated readers why they should hate Mamdani for having gone to an elite college.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming. Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

The word "elite" is perfect Orwellian doublespeak. It functions equally as a compliment or an insult, depending on who it is applied to. Any apparent contradictions in this usage are papered over with doublethink.

Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

Please send along a #MathCoffeeSelfie and let me know what you've been up to 🥰

First in a series of drag brunches at Roslindale Substation at noon. Protesters were supposed to show up. None so far, but a large number of supported are lining Washington St. #Boston

Both Zionists and antisemites are hellbent on trying to convince people that antisemitism=criticism of Israel

What's it like inside your head?

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.
