I have a new piece out on @boltsmag.org covering how @uniondelbarrio.bsky.social & other organizers in San Diego are still patrolling immigrant neighborhoods to watch for ICE. Following what they've seen out of Minneapolis, organizers have had to adapt their strategies. boltsmag.org/violent-ice-...

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs are savings.

New article in @pnas.org: We all know ChatGPT loves to delve, bolster, leverage, encompass, showcase, underscore, et cetera. I analyzed full text of 7.3 million journal articles published 2020-2025, hunting for 228 words that spiked after ChatGPT launched in late 2022. 🧵⬇️

Released from detention facilities hundreds of miles away with no phone or money, Chicago immigrants are depending on a growing patchwork of volunteer organizations to make it back to their families. borderlessmag.org/2026/05/26/d...

Taking the batteries out of the fire alarm

Historians of philosophy: new principle of sufficient reason just dropped! “There is a reason for certain things, and there’s usually a reason that sometimes makes sense” (Trump 2026).

Germany's extension of its border controls isn't sufficiently justified, the European Commission has said. Since mid-2024, Germany has beefed up checks and controls along its borders. Such measures, however, defy the EU principle of free movement of people and goods.

Always nice to get a real physical copy of a book. Thanks to Costanza & Christine.

In the first essay, @deeesharp.bsky.social argues that the erosion of social citizenship under neoliberalism and the current border-hardening of nationalist conceptions of citizenship are interlinked processes, and should be combatted as such. doi.org/10.1080/1654...

How can we bolster the moral value and political function of democratic citizenship in times of polycrisis? Can we make it more robust and more inclusive, or are these irreconcilable goals? Our new Ethics & Global Politics special issue tries to find answers. www.tandfonline.com/toc/zegp20/1...

Last year, we shared a paper showing that Labour's accommodation of the radical right did not work. We now have a new version of the paper online: osf.io/preprints/so...

Thousands of undocumented migrant workers toil in Spanish greenhouses, providing fruit and vegetables for the rest of Europe and beyond. They are hopeful that the regularization campaign can improve their precarious working and living conditions.

The EU has reached a deal to set up "return hubs" in third countries for people whose asylum claims have been denied. The new stricter migration rules could have far-reaching consequences for migrants and asylum seekers.

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Migration researchers have called on European governments to abandon isolationist policies. But many politicians are not heeding their calls.

Immigration camps are not untouchable federal abstractions, they depend on a lot of local infrastructure. It is up to us, neighbors, community members, and we have the actual power to shut them down.

Awesome collection of responses to my work on migration blackmail by an amazing group of scholars. Working on my reply, but they have given me a lot to think about. migrationpolicycentre.eu/the-ethics-o...

65.2 🫐 Administrative democratic defence ⚔️ @jmvanlit.bsky.social uses elite interviews from the Netherlands to argue that administrative democratic defence requires continued awareness and action to prevent #Autocratisation and sustain resilience 🛡️

Greg Bovino and the head of New York's Young Republicans were in Portugal this weekend for a neo-fascist summit on ethnic cleansing. So why didn't the press cover it? My latest for @theredoubt.net, on extremism, antisemitism and media double standards: www.theredoubt.net/why-did-the-...

This morning, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social joined me to inspect Delaney Hall and speak to those inside with @menendez.house.gov and Rep. Gottheimer. These private detention centers put dollars over dignity—leading to cruel conditions and abuse. I’ll keep calling for Delaney Hall to be shut down.

this is fascinating: gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

Reports come out on what happened inside Delaney on Friday night. The hunger strikers were beaten and pepper sprayed as retribution for striking against inhumane treatment. theintercept.com/2026/05/29/i...

Great news: the courts will have a chance to rein in the abuses at Camp East Montana, the infamous tent camp built on Fort Bliss in El Paso. I have known seasoned veterans of this field who visited the camp and came away saying it was one of the worst ICE detention centers they’d ever been to.

NEW: A group of activists have built an awesome new tool to help immigration attorneys and the general public know when an ICE flight is headed to their area. gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

“The report finds ICE failed to follow its own policies to protect family unity, including a requirement that they ask anyone they arrest if they have children and ensure that parents have an opportunity to decide what happens to their children if they are deported.”

1/ Can AI help researchers check whether published social science results actually reproduce? In our new PNAS paper, we tested this directly in the AI Replication Games: 288 researchers, 103 teams, and real replication packages from quantitative social science.

days into a hunger and labor strike of hundreds detained in GEO Group-run Delaney Hall, people inside report beatings, rotten food, crumbling facilities, and denied medical care. protesters and organizers outside are confronting ICE in the Newark street. talked to a few about it: @us.theguardian.com

I want you to hear straight from me about what happened at Delaney Hall on Monday and what I saw inside the facility. ICE out of control. GEO Group profiting off of human misery. People living in inhumane conditions. Let me walk you through it.

Shut down Delaney Hall and abolish ICE.

This is an actual Thirteenth Amendment violation, because they have not been convicted of any crime.

Normie lib mayor on Spokane: “We cannot allow these verdicts to silence us.” Excellent local reporting with context for today’s devastating verdict for Spokane ICE protesters.

DOJ Launches Criminal Investigation Into All Women

“ICE detainees are dying by suicide in ‘alarming' number of cases, report finds.” "At least 10 detainees have died by suicide since January 2025, including seven since October alone.” people.com/ice-detainee...

Palantir executives donated more money to Democrats than Republicans, according to a new investigation from @theappeal.org and In These Times. The analysis found that executives at ICE’s biggest contractors gave $1.7M+ to members of Congress. Palantir CEO Alexander Karp alone donated about $465K.

“The conditions are brutal." Hundreds of detained immigrants are hunger striking against inhumane conditions. "It’s not hard to deduce that there’s brutality inside Delaney because the brutality outside the GEO Group-operated detention facility has been impossible to miss." ✍️: @tusk81.bsky.social
