“A Sikh grandmother who had lived in the US for more than 30 years, was deported to India Sept. 23, after spending a week in what her attorney called “barbaric” conditions at a private ICE detention center in Georgia” americancommunitymedia.org/immigration/...

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

find me another Dem that wouldn't be too afraid to do this. seriously.

Important piece here. Democrats should investigate this fully. Bring Carr for hearings. He is openly publicizing how he apparently broke the law and used the FCC on behalf of Trump to exort ABC. newrepublic.com/article/2006...

"United States President Donald Trump has signed a proclamation requiring a $100,000 application fee for companies seeking to sponsor workers H-1B visas. Trump ...also introducing a separate “gold card” visa for individuals to pay $1 million to expedite their immigration."

After Jimmy Kimmel's show was suspended "indefinitely" for comments he made following Charlie Kirk's death, questions about free speech and just what is government censorship reach heightened levels.

Today is Constitution Day. Helluva day to cancel Jimmy Kimmel for making jokes the president didn’t like. #freespeech

“In arguing for Mr. Netanyahu’s arrest, Mr. Mamdani noted that the Israeli prime minister had made military decisions while in New York that killed civilians in the Middle East.” “‘This is something that I intend to fulfill,’ Mr. Mamdani said.” Mamdani reiterates his pledge to arrest Netanyahu.

FWIW i’ve switched to @bookshop.org for ebooks and Libro for audio books and with very few exceptions had the exact same experience as Amazon without the greasy aftertaste. Highly recommended.

Bad Bunny, one of the biggest musical artists in the world, said he avoided the US in his tour because he thought ICE would set up ouside his shows.

"Even in a contest against men twice his age, Mamdani has begun to sound like the adult in the room on issues of public safety, offering detailed, thoughtful policy proposals." 🙏 @errollouis.bsky.social

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

Woohoo!

Sad. Don’t know what coverage is like in the US but here’s the BBC.

Teachers are reportedly spending an average of $895 out-of-pocket on school supplies — a nearly 50% increase since 2015. Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the dignity, support, and pay they deserve? https://youtu.be/AbBbhoHRPSU?feature=shared

Definitely worth seeing — loved seeing the Bronx as a character in this powerful film

At long last, I’m thrilled to share a new article (w/former grad student Jessica Nguyen) published in Educational Studies:

Every time you use ChatGPT or something like it, you’re helping to train an algorithm that is actually being developed to do things like this

Donald Trump fired almost all of Puerto Rico’s Oversight Board — because they apparently weren't being nice enough to his Wall Street buddies. Make no mistake: the Puerto Rican people will suffer as a result, through electricity rate hikes or cuts to health care and education.

They can issue JOINT health guidance, they can buy up supplies of needed vaccines, etc... [just on the health front]. Hire all of the excellent people who are resigning.

This is a major story. “Trump wants Greenland”? King Leopoldo wanted the Congo. And took it. It’s naked imperialism. And espionage. More than 80% of the population of Greenland is indigenous. “Beautiful” Inuits are not “asking Trump to take over.” They categorically don’t want it.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

1. Snoop voted for Trump. 2. Snoop is a capitalist. 3. Stop worshipping celebrities.

Spoiler Alert: Slavery was really, really, really bad.

Now is the time to be curious about our universe, to be imaginative about all its possibilities, including the potential for humans to live in good and sustainable relations with each other and the ecosystems that we depend upon. This is a time of stubborn freedom dreaming.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.
