The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

In case you missed it: I’ve got a new (warning: somewhat intense) story on

about all the ways faith leaders have pushed back against the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign this year — including clergy directly confronting ICE agents and police.

How the clergy has rallied against the Trump administration's immigration policies
Religious leaders have rallied against the Trump administration's detention and deportation of immigrants. Clergy are filing lawsuits, accompanying migrants to court hearings and leading protests.

Between the speech, the Truth Social posts, the press-availability rants, and the presidential photo plaques, it's as if Trump is trying to surround himself with his own opinions, the way hoarders want to surround themselves with their own junk.

Keith Devlin’s excellent article! Did you know that Google’s first algorithm came from a master’s thesis question? My favorite: “The value for d they chose was around 0.85. (Sometimes math is like baking; you just see what proportion works.) Talk about “precision as needed!” Go play and explore!

As consolation bcuz somebody else got the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump got this phony FIFA peace prize. The fingernails on the prize look like those of the lady vampires Jonathan Harker encountered in Castle Dracula in the novel's 1992 movie version. Maybe the NBA will give him a peace prixe too.

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

A2: I love to put student work samples on the doc cam. I ask students to talk about what the student was doing and why she/he/they made those choices. We dig into the work BEFORE we defer to the “expert.” EVERYONE talks about math, not just one kid doing a “show and tell.”
