BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

BREAKING: Judge Immergut issues a permanent injunction against Pete Hegseth and the deployment of the National Guard to Portland. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Important reporting, but I want to know more about the officers being put in their place. That's the really scary stuff.

Notable that FIRE (@thefireorg.bsky.social) filed an amicus in support of bullying trans youth. This is why trans people don't trust your transphobic organization, @aricohn.com. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Man that guy really doesn’t want hungry people to eat

Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.

I’m very happy to announce that I won a book prize from the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians. You can download the book for free at tinyurl.com/kahnbk. It’s about the history of Turkish migration to Germany and anti-migrant racism. @ghiwashington.bsky.social @universitypress.cambridge.org

School that accidentally, repeatedly broke TX laws/code and needed special help to pass the basic requirements to operate in the state announces what amounts to an admission that they may not be able to earn accreditation or offer the federal funds to students accreditation affords. 🧵

Call me controversial, but technology that leads vulnerable people into crisis and even holds their hand as they die by suicide should not be endorsed by schools and universities, we should not be giving discounted subscriptions to this monstrous tech to young people AT ALL

Hard to convince people this is all the Democrats' fault when you are going to court (during the shutdown no less) to defy a court order to fund SNAP

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

A thing about AI in higher ed right now is that half of us are scrambling to deal with the implosion of our information environment that broke reading/writing/source verification, while the other half is trying to achieve a massive institutional buy-in of the very thing that's causing the implosion

Watching RFK jr run away from someone collapsing feels like a harbinger of things to come

JUST IN: Judge orders Trump administration to deliver full SNAP benefits to states by Friday www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy, speaks outside court after his not guilty verdict: “I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything…. “That night I believe I was protecting the rights of immigrants… Every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here…”

IDK, but if you demand the meeting, you should attend the meeting, but the mayor is not at this 287(g) discussion.

Sandwich Guy thanks everyone for their support, “emotional, spiritual, artistic or financial.” Intones, “Let us not forget that the great seal of the United States says…‘ out of many, one.’…You all have a right to live a life that is free.”

Friends, “Furious Minds” is out! @lkatfield.bsky.social wrote an important book - one that truly is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand the rightwing intellectual scene, the defining ideas on today’s extremist Right, and the ideological traditions they draw on. Please read:

Judge Ellis says the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in their claim that the Trump administration "put substantial pressure on religious practitioners to modify their behavior and violate their beliefs."

Ellis notes people being tear gassed, staring down the barrel of a gun and being "slammed to the ground with their head bashed into the street." "All of that would cause a reasonable person to think twice about exercising their fundamental constitutional rights."

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just took the bench. She's expected to rule on a request for a preliminary injunction governing the use of force by federal agents in Chicago.

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.

The U.S. is on track to have the fewest foreign food inspections since 2011, except during the Covid pandemic. 65% of the staff in the FDA divisions responsible for coordinating travel and budgets left or were fired in the name of government efficiency. www.propublica.org/article/fore...

One of the most chilling things about this story is that some did not even know it was ICE. They thought it was “an attack on the school” i.e. a school shooter. Think on that for a minute.

I'm hard-pressed to think of a non-Jewish Democratic politician who has spoken to Jews with more respect and empathy than Mamdani. The fact that many Jewish establishment orgs are going after him while staying relatively mum on resurgent Nazism is a disaster, both for American Jews and in general.

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin. How times change.

A devastating set of decisions on the part of UC leadership to withdraw support from our nationally recognized postdoc program that prioritizes research excellence combined with addressing our university public service mission. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.” Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

📍 This year we launched a new digital archive putting collections from our archive at the hands of researchers worldwide For the past 8 months we have continued to add new collections to the site, now totalling 215,000 pages of crucial evidence from the Holocaust and the Nazi era... buff.ly/TVeLPnv

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Virginia Republicans leaned hard into anti-trans propaganda as part of their main messaging in the final months of this campaign. It fell completely flat with voters. It did not resonate. Virginia Republicans came across as bizarre and detached from working class families.

The #KavanaughStop policy spreading at the state level law enforcement in deep red states.

A Border Patrol agent was caught on video telling another to throw tear gas “for fun,” according to a court filing. They also mocked protesters and residents who were getting gassed.

Virginia has elected Ghazala Hashmi as the state’s next lieutenant governor, making her the first Muslim woman ever elected to statewide office in the United States. 19thnews.org/2025/11/virg...

As Jews it’s our job to speak out loudly against this stuff. The pitting of Jews and Muslims against each other harms both (and is based in a Judaism focused on Israel, but that’s a different topic) and needs to be fought by us. We are the more accepted (read: whiter) of the two, so it’s on us.

This kind of black listing, to be clear, is actually bad for American Jews. And rich from the industry that continued to employ Mel Gibson.
