"the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children"

AI can't feed people.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

RIP Jesse Jackson. Here he is in 2016 riding into #NoDAPL camp at Standing Rock with great aplomb. He always did his best over many years to show up and support oppressed people in struggle.

So sad for Amber Glenn and also upset they interviewed her while she was clearly still struggling with what happened. Olympic athletes are put through so much unnecessary stress.

Alysa Liu skating to Laufey's "Promise", my favorite heartbreak song, had me crying before she got going. What a beautiful performance of absolute craft.

The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't. They won't only be for brown and Black people. The targets will keep expanding. It will not end. The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

ugh

Michigan is a mess as per usual

Japan has been showing UP to these figure skating competitions!

I agree, but we also have to acknowledge how many Indigenous journalists that currently exist and remain unemployed or dependent upon freelance work because of discriminatory hiring practices in newsrooms. Even when hired, Indigenous journalists have to fight to cover Indigenous beats.

Liberals...

Are his ties to Peter Thiel not a dealbreaker? Especially with the Epstein files.

a fucking pedophile sexually abused nearly every prospective and actual Olympian gymnast for over two decades, and the political discourse is hyper-fixated on the hypothetical unfairness of trans girls competing with cis girls

Italy gets the gold in speed skating! USA burned themselves out.

How many Jack in the Box tacos you want?… I’m heading there so make a decision what you want

Fat Tuesday means Paczki Day in metro Detroit. Rooted in Polish American history and tradition, the sweet treat marks the last indulgence before Lent. George Kurzatkowski of the American Polish Cultural Center shares the culture and meaning behind Paczki Day. wdet.org/2026/02/17/t...

Developing a federal grant budget for part of a larger program is not for the weak. I've been paying my dues, Saturn.

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

This is just monarchy shit, sending the president’s best in law boy over to play fake peacemaker

both can be true. also, everyone should be suing for the ongoing lack of infection mitigation and accommodations that keep occurring in enforced "back to normal"

The pandemic also coincided with BLM protests in the US, both of which created an incredible amount of labor that was unequally distributed. Women scholars and scholars of color disproportionately shouldered that workload. Then we were punished for it and our work dismantled. I am still furious.

i have never wanted to disappear off the grid more because every single part of society is terrible. no, thank you.

did they reboot Zoolander or

This is @glutelord.bsky.social and he's completely fucking correct. The fundamental tension at the heart of all incel culture is that these guys HATE women and refuse to appeal to them but desperately want to get laid anyway, and this contradiction can only really be resolved through violence

the cool thing about trying to shame people into “vote blue no matter who” is that it doesn’t work hasn’t worked and will continue to not work. You’re doing something that doesn’t work. Over and over again. You’re not going to convince any significant amount of people from your blue sky pulpit

newsom won’t close the camps

ICE has been targeting Indigenous business, resource centers, community hubs, etc in Minneapolis. They even targeted Little Earth of United Tribes, a residential housing community that has at least 98% Indigenous residents. It is where the four Oglala Lakota men they took were living.

you gotta stop giving them ideas at this point

It’s criming all the way down w these assholes.

An ‘ethics’ philosopher in my university wrote a paper arguing the case for extending medically assisted dying to the homeless. When colleagues objected, they were threatened by a Senior Admin, also a philosopher.

Imagine being a philosopher and working for the text-extruding world-destroying plagiarism machine makers who exist because they stole our books. 💀 We need to scrap ethics in the analytical tradition altogether - it is simply abysmal. Levinas is rolling in his grave.

Academia constantly discards and pushes out disabled students and faculty both systemically and at an interpersonal level. I told my alma mater they can ask for my donations once they made good on what Larry Nassar did.

was anyone getting what they paid for before the pandemic? I think this threw tuition costs vs. the actual value of the education into sharp relief. are students who attended community colleges suing?

I helped build the FAccT academic conference, and white men like Seth have to come along and make sure that the people we tried to get away from, the TESCREAL eugenicist ghouls, have every academic space in addition to the billions they're drowning in.

if youth are using whatever means they have to fight the university system that constantly exploits them, i wish they all the best. Yes, covid was horrible for all of us trying to make it work. But students suffered the most. They always suffer the most and deserve our support and empathy.

They told us it was mild in children. www.ox.ac.uk/news/2023-01...

RIP Jesse Jackson. He demanded the right to inspect the Krome detention facility in Miami after it became apparent Krome was a glorified concentration camp created by Ronald Reagan for Afro Latinos and Black Haitian refugees who fled to the USA after the Mariel Boatlift. Krome still operates today.

Chronic pain is disability. So to everybody out there in pain all the time, you're disabled. I know we keep our chronic pain to ourselves because no one wants to hear about it & do our best to manage. But if it affects your day to day functionality, you're a disabled person.

There aren't red flags that are much clearer than "had a large Nazi tattoo on his chest for 15 years"

THIS MAN CREATED ICE

Folks are trying to demand a "vote blue no matter who" when there's a chance there won't even be an election because none of them blue stopped us from getting here? Anyway, no.

I feel like this is pretty key. Newsom is signaling that he wants to throw trans people under every available bus. that is a reason to denounce him, not to preemptively demand that trans people endorse him. 1

the Japanese figure skating pair are so precious. Congrats on the gold and the silver to Georgia. Very deserved.

ELANA MEYERS TAYLOR GETS THE GOLD

My goal is not to flood the docket with the most comments, this isn't a fucking TikTok battle. Our purpose in commenting is to build the strongest possible record for litigation that will challenge these rules. That means well-structured, substantive, expert comments for the APA lawsuit.

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there
