Family members have been reaching to groups sounding the alarm that their loved ones in the Adelanto ICE facility are being retaliated against for speaking with Congress members about the inhumane and abusive conditions they are experiencing from the guards.

The position of the administration is that judges are woke libs and, as a result, their rulings are flawed. The proper way to think about this is the "constitutional sheriff" ideology -- Mullins decides how to interpret the Constitution. He does not see himself opposing the rule of law.

We lend our voices to the 150 detainees, including hunger strikers at the Adelanto processing center and read their letter in the “Petition of Writ” that we received from @chu.house.gov. Here are their words. (2 parts) PART 1

Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.

the trump official — who led the siege & occupation of Minneapolis — admitting to having an ongoing dialogue/rapport with Martin Sellner, a straight-up Nazi who influenced the Christchurch shooter, while speaking at a conference about remigration (read: ethnic cleansing) is a pretty big deal!

Targeting press and legal observers was so common in Los Angeles last summer, it became the object of a lawsuit by @lapressclub.bsky.social, @lataco.bsky.social and others, and then a series of TROs that officers in LA often violated…

This, from Lorna Finlayson, expresses my view on universities better than I ever have myself. The process is farther along in Britain than elsewhere, but something of this trend is visible in too many places. newleftreview.org/sidecar/post...

This essay is not talking about the same experience as this brilliantly concise post, but is also about the phenomenological experience of class society and how it just feels fucking terrible philpapers.org/archive/BLUC...

Just a reminder that immigrants inside Delaney Hall are on their ninth day of a hunger and labor strike in protest of inhumane conditions and this was Governor Sherrill’s response last night:

I really do think we’re going to have to rebuild post-secondary education from the ground up

👀

This is as close as I’ve ever come to getting at why I hate Christopher Nolan’s films with such intensity.

I hate penalty shoot-outs.

The people still out there crushing it in Bolivia

RIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...

Jesus Christ it is so bad at Delaney Hall right now. Mikie Sherrill has sent state police charging at protestors with horses and pepper spray and riot gear and flash bangs and it is so violent. The flash bangs are terrifying.

Take jury service seriously. It changes vulnerable people’s lives.

🚨🚨🚨

What's really astonishing is not the far right authoritarian party doing this, but the near-total lack of <loud public collective action> by university chancellors & presidents to oppose this existential crisis. Almost impossible to overstate how total a failure of leadership this is.

The knock-on effects from the regime’s first 16 months, even if they were stopped in their tracks tomorrow (which they won’t be and there are no publicly discussed plans to address the harms), science and higher education are going to have to be reorganized and rebuilt, decades-long projects

Ralph Fiennes character in 28 Years Later seems like he has gone mad as a totally functional response to the apocalypse and come out the other side of madness as a function of survival with a profound and melancholy respect for human dignity and frailty.

Los Angeles sends solidarity. attn @melbuer.bsky.social @shoton35mm.bsky.social @acatwithnews.bsky.social

Everybody needs to take jury service seriously cause we’ve got a lot of work…

These people are captives of a concentration camp fighting back against their heavily armed captors with only their bodies. Their heroism is extraordinary. Thank you to all of the protesters standing with and for them.

The only acceptable targets of this otherwise socially corrosive practice are New York sports teams, especially (but not limited to) the Mets and the Jets

I just taught a whole course on the importance of historicity and distinguishing between the operational know-how and the perilous/dehumanizing hubris of modernity and my students would have laughed out loud if I put this up in class

We need to start squatting University properties that they refuse to keep up themselves.

it occurs to me that in running universities in such a way that faculty don't read much or do much discussing of ideas together senior management laid a lot of groundwork for a great deal of further worsening

when the government shutdown affected SNAP benefits last November(?), cars on my block immediately got broken into. i've lived here for several years and that's not common www.npr.org/2026/05/27/n...

Message from strikers at Delaney Hall in solidarity with those protesting on the outside: "Please, DON'T GIVE UP!" Read full letter here: www.instagram.com/p/DYz9b_XkQa...

Hundreds inside an ICE concentration camp are on a work and hunger strike at Delaney Hall in New Jersey and other hunger strikes have been announced in New Mexico and Southern California. In Tacoma, WA, over 100 detainees announced the formation of the 'Union of People Kidnapped by ICE.'

"close Delaney Hall and free every person in there" is the demand, so direct that (in my experience) some people may miss it rather than accept it

What a quick 6 years. America is back to its explicit celebration of ethnic cleansing but for a moment George Floyd’s life let us see a different possibility. Black Lives Matter today and every day. May he rest in peace.

I figured there would be shady conduct with the Broadview Six grand jury, but it's unreal. Vouching is bad enough, but dismissing grand jurors who disagreed with them, hiding a no true bill, and hiding pages of the transcript from the judge? That should be disbarment. That's WAY beyond sanctionable.

Tonight for Bay Area comrades

Peak prosecutor brain. Reminds me of when the prosecutor who almost got disbarred for Brady violations during the J20 prosecutions used a shockingly large portion of her sanctions hearing to try and re-litigate the case.
