I don’t think the GOP really wants a robust discussion of “just war” theory right now.

It’s going to become increasingly harder and harder for people to separate mass deportation from policing and Mullin and the administration are quite sure there’s no appetite for addressing policing.

The Intercept is claiming that upwards of 750 casualties have occurred in the Iran war, and the Pentagon is covering it up. theintercept.com/2026/04/01/i....

Unambiguous evil.

A must-read. Horrifying.

It is legit funny but it doesn’t change the fact that if your mayor went on FB tonight, said that the Pope sucked, and then posted an AI painting of themselves as Jesus Christ performing miracles, they would be removed from office in less than 48 hours.

Here she is at the March on Washington wearing her Resistance medals, incredible flex

People who work for Zohran should talk to child care workers. You cannot build a system based off of a parent survey, or by talking to a handful of program owners and big nonprofit administrators. Child care teachers and providers are workers and they make less than almost every job in NYC.

Hotlines for US soldiers thinking of leaving the armed forces as "conscientious objectors" are being overwhelmed. Almost all the calls mention the bombing of the girls' school in Iran that killed more than 100 school children. www.npr.org/2026/04/10/n...

Mexico—a nation with 1/17th GDP of USA—is rolling out universal healthcare to its 130M citizens. Starting April 13, Mexicans 85+ will have access to universal healthcare. By Jan 2027, Mexico will expand universal healthcare to all people, with full coverage of drugs, lab tests, etc by 2030. 1/2

We don’t have to live like this. We all deserve better than this. Image with alt text:

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

After 16-year-old Ariel’s dad was abducted by ICE at his construction job, he became his family’s breadwinner. “Ariel works for the same construction company as his dad … As the summer progressed, he took over his father’s construction job, managing a team of workers and making sure they were paid.“

the student loan issue is something that I am deeply invested in/keeps me up at night, even so I have had a hard time parsing where things are right now, how we got here, and what the fights ahead look like, so REALLY appreciated this post by @lookheron.bsky.social !! lpeproject.org/blog/the-stu...

This is a sick civilization. An open call to genocide. It is clear that Gaza is how we got here- tolerating genocide in one space begets another. Generations of our ancestors have worked to build something different, toward the preservation of earthly life. I hope I live to see this re-orientation.

Jewish New Yorkers have taken over the lobby of Palantir on the 6th night of Passover to protest corporate complicity in ICE’s deportation machine. NYC Jews demand #SanctuaryNotSurveillance!

Sharif University was also a center of anti-regime protests.

i just think Watering Flowers While Black should not be an arrestable offense nor do i think this should be controversial ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

WA DOL shared data with Border Patrol for Eastern WA civil immigration enforcement in apparent state violation. Spokane father Arnoldo Tiul Caal, later found to have been unlawfully detained, had driver’s license data searched by Border Patrol days before his detainment, records show:

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

klan shit

What is marketed as AI “innovation” is, in practice, a consolidation of global labor hierarchies and a commodification of African knowledge, write Marché Arends and Kathryn Cleary, drawing on their year-long investigation supported by the Pulitzer Center and published by Africa Uncensored.

was just reminded that tomorrow is april fool’s day and especially this year can we just… not, please

NYTimes has spent years breathlessly repeating claims that objecting to the treatment of Palestinians is antisemitic, but when right-wingers say they're “J-pilled,” NYTimes calls this "slang for skepticism of Israeli influence." Where's the "J" in "Israel"? Might that "J" mean something else?

“Fascism is constantly and deliberately shrinking the definition of who is considered a person. Art, especially art made by and for marginalized populations, does the opposite. It expands and complicates our understanding of the human condition.” open.substack.com/pub/prisoncu...

Israel bringing back the death penalty that it had previously abolished *specifically* for Palestinians is an absolutely hideous crime

Ben Gvir's equivalent in US politics would be literally if the leader of the Aryan Nations splinter group The Order were elected to Congress and given a cabinet position instead of dying in a shootout with the FBI. It's difficult to explain how much of a supremacist extremist Ben Gvir is.

Sandra Wong, the great granddaughter of Wong Kim Ark, is preparing to march at the #NoKings Rally in San Francisco. Today is the 128th Anniversary of the SCOTUS decision affirming birthright citizenship.

Sometimes I come back to this post, stare at it for a bit, then gaze off into the middle distance

More than six months have passed since the murder of Awdah Hathaleen, an English teacher, activist and father; killed while filming Israeli settler Yinon Levi, sanctioned by the US for providing “material support for violent activities” in the West Bank. inthesetimes.com/article/awda...

1 Just passed through security at La Guardia. ICE entirely doing security! 100% of ID and identity checks done by ICE…Truly icky and dystopian. Some thoughts.

I don’t love being in a society where you can sell enough pillows to do meaningful damage to democracy or sell enough children’s books to do a genocide or sell enough chicken sandwiches to abolish gay marriage That all seems like a ridiculous way to do society to me

I'm at the town hall event on surveillance in Seattle, where Mayor Katie Wilson is being interviewed onstage by the South Seattle Emerald's Florangela Davila. Read and watch along with me!

Authorities say they disrupted a plot to firebomb the New York City home of a prominent Palestinian activist.

This is the best article I read this week. slate.com/business/202...

This is a huge part of why education is in such a crisis. There's no one in power willing to fight for it. It's a two-party consensus that a lot of it doesn't matter enough to invest in or protect.

Repost if you support trans people and think we're neato

This. Is. Murder. Even. If. No. One. Calls. It. That.

You know who actually supports my work? Daycare workers. That's the industry that needs billions poured into, not tech and slop AI.

A reminder that as our normal lives proceed apace, the horrors in Darfur mount without so much as an organized campaign or even a protest from most corners of the progressive movement. The UN has said these events bear the “hallmarks of genocide.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/22/wo...

Just the President of the United States again saying insanely, unapologetically, shamelessly racist shit, and the extremely powerful people around him nodding in agreement. How far back in time would you have to go to find another U.S. president saying something this bigoted in public?

It’s not strange. Grown Americans in positions of power & authority called the police on to campuses, and threatened the future work and livelihood of 20 year olds because they dared to stand against the mass bombing of women and children. And they will never forget it.

"This contract asks Seattle taxpayers to invest more in policing without requiring more accountability in return, and that's not a deal I can support," City Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck said when voting against the contract in December.

If you're in Manhattan today, keep your eyes out for these sidewalk chalk memorials for the 146 victims of the Triangle Factory Fire. The Chalk Project was started by Ruth Sergel in 2004 and is now organized by the Tenement Museum.

This is brilliant.

We can do this. We can even do more than this! Together!
