Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

NEW: A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s order requiring colleges to submit 7 years of applicant & admitted student data, including race, GPA & test scores. The ruling applies only to public campuses in California and 16 blue states that sued: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲 “One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.” www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

A freylekhn pesakh! Today the @UCLAIRLE Memory Work Research Initiative is officially launching our new and improved public history website, "Power from the Past." In the spirit of liberation, I want to share some highlights from the project here: 🧵

“The irony of using the IHRA definition is that faculty and students at UC Berkeley may freely criticize the United States, or any other nation-state in the world—including their foundational ideologies, and their implications today—but not Israel.” ucbfa.org/2026/03/bfa-...

As a Jewish historian who works at a university, I think it’s great that an administration committed to destroying “the internal globalist enemy” which is staffed by groyper antisemites is collecting lists of Jews. Can’t see any potential downside here at all.

"An invisible workforce across the country dedicates their time, energy and spirit to their work, usually without pay. These are family caregivers, and their contribution to the U.S. economy exceeded $1 trillion in economic value in 2024." www.aarp.org/caregiving/f...

Some of my thoughts about some of the critiques of the recent No Kings protests I've seen online:

According to March polling, only 32% of American Jews support the US's war on Iran, while 61% of white evangelicals support it. For reference, that's 27.3 million white evangelicals and 2.4 million American Jews

A staggering new finding from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies: since 2001, the money left over each month for lower-income renters—after paying rent and utilities—has fallen 60 percent to a record low of $210. $210 left over for food, healthcare, childcare, and everything else.

hurts so good

I have the stomach to say one more thing: as meaningful as what students saw in response to their protests (repression) is what they didn't (US shifting away from support for genocide). describing this as *their* failure as opposed to the supposed adults in the room is a joke and not the funny kind

even setting aside the intended effect of campus crackdowns: one difference between now and two years ago is that half or so of them are gone, having received their four year degrees, and "students" (2026) and "students" (2024) refer to two largely different populations of people

Historians, archivists, librarians, data preservationists. All attuned to this crisis, working to make and keep information accessible and available. Because we know that democracy requires accountability and transparency.

Google has an ad for Gemini about a student using AI to create a study guide and I cannot say more strongly: Students, PLEASE create your own study guides because that is what studying *IS*. If you outsource your studying to AI, you will likely fail your tests.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

I spoke with @rollingstone.com about the Trump administration's new AI framework. At a moment when a majority of Americans are asking for AI guardrails, this proposal moves in the opposite direction. Rather that constrain companies, it releases them from accountability. 🧵 www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...
