Huge announcement: Girl Scouts on our trans girl scout cookies list have sold 250,000!!!!!! Boxes of girl scout cookies, a record for EITM's trans girl scout cookie drive. Some have only sold 20 boxes though. I put those at the top of the list. Lets close out this season and make their day! :)

What I need people to understand is when legislators argue that professors should teach more and research less, it's not because they think our research is actually worthless. It's because they don't want anyone to be able to develop or disseminate expertise that goes against their party line.

A farewell to Camp Rhetoric courtesy of airport radio! You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

An immigration court dropped its case against Turkish graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk, a little less than a year after federal agents arrested her on a street near Tufts University

I just hope Brandi Carlile and Bad Bunny have fun

This @startribune.com article provides an excellent account and timeline of the ICE invasion of Minneapolis. Don't forget the people of Minnesota as the federal occupation of our state continues. www.startribune.com/a-state-on-e...

New Hampshire ICE news: The Rockingham county measure to block ICE from using the Brentwood jail to house 150 detainees was successful & the contract has been tabled indefinitely it's important to take "indefinitely" very literally. it would also be correct to say "for now, until the next unknown"

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.

👏👏👏

In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD. Just some facts I think bear repeating.

This is civic action. Surprise, Arizona. Pop. 167,000. Huge crowd shows up to the City Council meeting to oppose DHS recent purchase of ginormous warehouse. Meeting + overflow room filled and hundreds more gathered outside. 130 people sign up to speak. 128 opposed to ICE warehouse.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

The people of Minneapolis are showing breathtaking courage. Facing down armed federal goons to protect their neighbors isn't just brave; it’s legendary.

PSA: it is in fact possible for universities to address financial challenges by slashing (incredibly expensive and largely useless) admin positions. Memorial University just downsized VPs from 7 to 3. Yes we can! universityaffairs.ca/news/memoria...

Hey funny story! Remember how for like 20 years we said if you tell people to only study STEM that job market would tank & also no one would be able to think critically about rhetoric or ethics, know what happened at any point in history or value much but money? Man, I love that one. Cracks me up.

Full Bad Bunny speech

CBS censored Billie Eilish saying “Fuck ICE” at the Grammys. Here’s the uncensored version:

Heroes come in many forms and this is one of them

34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is

5 classes I took in college: Introduction to Special Education

For Liam.

This is so cowardly. “Expected bans”—What harm is there in, at minimum, waiting til the ink is dry? To abandon patients who are children. How shameful. What a grotesque violation of “do no harm.”

Excellent explanation of how ICE moves immigrants from one prison facility to another to deny them access to justice.

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.

Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go. Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go. Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go. As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Those in power have tried to convince us that resistance would be too tiring. But let Minnesotans teach you that it’s actually energizing to be a part of a movement to change society for the better. If you’re tired, get involved. You’ll be surprised by how quickly you start to feel better.

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Tx) in reference to GOP Chairman Garbarino’s letters for leaders of ICE, CBP, USCIS to testify following Alex Pretti's killing: “As an attorney and former federal prosecutor, I believe a thorough investigation is necessary ....”

The original post was deleted, but this was the video it had.

So today I got to attend a @sundance.org screening of “Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story.” 5 stars. I very recently finished her memoir, “Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult.” Also 5 stars. Covered some different terrain than this new film, some the same.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

The Portland Press Herald is on the ground covering the ICE surge in Maine without a paywall as a public service.

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

This is alarming.

This story really gets at a fundamental misunderstanding about ICE that I’m seeing outside of Minnesota. Folks think that ICE could terrorize undocumented immigrants and that it wouldn’t affect the broader community. But of course it does. The very fabric of social life is unraveling.

In which I explain that the Third Amendment—the one nobody ever talks about—allows hotels to refuse to house Kristi Noem’s ICE goons.

It shouldn’t be controversial to insist that Democrats vote to rein in this lawless and sadistic agency. Demand that your Members of Congress use their leverage with the upcoming Homeland Security funding bill to get ICE Out For Good: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

Here's a list of stores that will be closed in solidarity of the general strike in the Twin Cities planned for Friday.

One of the things I’m really struggling with about what’s going on in Minnesota is that if you describe what’s going on in plain, factual ways to someone who’s not paying close attention you sound completely, bugfuck crazy

I spoke to a friend on the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota board. They need financial donations to keep up with the heightened demand for their services: www.ilcm.org ILCM is a nonprofit that provides free immigration legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees in MN & ND

#UtPol Utah State Senator @nateforutah.bsky.social is introducing SB 136 “ICE OUT” that would ban masks for ICE agents and prevent them from entering churches, hospitals, and other locations. Please, Utahns, contact GOP leadership to get it assigned a hearing! bsky.app/profile/nate...

ICE is terrorizing schoolchildren in the Twin Cities again today
