Great moment in class. Two girls in first year engineering built a really cool mechanism (a bevel gear but elevated about 10 inches in the air so not easy) and I brought over three girls in second year engineering who gave them their flowers “How did you do that?!” “That’s pretty cool”

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

JC is more experienced & qualified. What I know her for is what I want in a senator. I was excited for JT’s run for governor but ok. When they last served together one stood on business and one folded. Being more experienced & qualified makes her more electable. www.texastribune.org/2021/09/10/t...

I need people to understand that "AI" used in moderation isn't necessarily the "AI" of ChatGPT + friends or synthetic text extruding machines, or LLMs. There's stuff lumped under "AI", as the term is a marketing term, that is actually useful and important for flagging stuff on social media.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Feb 20: OJ Simpson Q: Why were Black folk so happy when OJ was acquitted? To be honest, it feels disgusting. Why does it seem like you're happy he got away with murder? It's not about OJ. At all. Read the whole thread. All of it.

More than ever I’m considering getting out out of TX to establish residency and in state tuition rates somewhere else

I post the above not to downplay what ICE is doing but to emphasize that “ICE ruses” are nothing new. In fact, that ICE is using them is arguably a sign that the agency is shifting away from the more aggro Bovino-style tactics and back to their old ones. This fact sheet is a decade old!

Rather than ascribing agency to machines that are built by other humans getting rich off of doing that, we should ascribe the agency to those humans and talk about what they're doing via their companies: stealing data, killing the environment, exploiting labor, and deceiving the public.

@dann1960.bsky.social hi I wanted to reply or quote tweet your Kimmie Ellison skeet with this link I thought she was great open.spotify.com/episode/47yB...

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

Me all day: CHÚC MỪNG NĂM MỚI Also me: where’s my 🧧??

Also, idk guys immigrantjustice.org/press-releas...

The only difference between local police and ICE is the type of badge

The ICE presence hasn't meaningfully changed in Minneapolis. Immigrant and undocumented families are still trapped inside their homes. Our own volunteers have now even been harassed delivering groceries. This is escalating. Please donate so we can get food and supplies to families.

Me: plays rauw alejandro tiroteo on Friday Students: 🥺why you play that one Me: awww who hurt you ?

This post is really taking off. I know the Thanksgiving detail is grabbing, but I would encourage everyone to also read the full article about this family’s struggle at Dilley. They’ve been locked up for 130+ days. I spent hours with them on Zoom this week, and their story deserves to be heard.

I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked

Fuken legend

Teaching one middle school course is already hard enough Teaching two at the same time sucks Stacked sections: never again

Do this and please contact elected official and tell them to end the practice of “family detention” altogether

I'm watching figure skating. You're watching it. We're all watching it!! And at BIAD, we are talking about it, too. Former skater and judge, @crugglez.bsky.social, joins @jessicawluther.com to talk through what we've seen so far. And LOTS about ice dance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H1e...

This is why I think schools should say no to AI

Fine. Do Melania Elon and Peter first

Seems like they want these pregnancies to fail and or the mothers to die

ICE and CBP haven’t withdrawn from a single fucking U.S. city that they’ve occupied.

Clock it

very thankful for the opportunity to write about bad bunny's super bowl halftime show for @latimes.com. it means a lot to me as someone from pr to put this incredible moment into perspective for non-latin viewers who might've missed key details www.latimes.com/delos/story/...

When is @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social getting the rest of the kids out? Asking for a friend

My little sister has spent the year doing the impossible: making an ornery group of seniors and an eager group of emergent bilinguals READ BOOKS. Her mission is to encourage reading (in TX 😩) and we’d be grateful if you would consider donating a book or two. + www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Cantando el apagón Was a Political statement

Gen Z isn't waiting for permission to lead.

Time for the Bad Bunny concert, ft. Green Day and two football teams!!!

This piece of shit with a straight face says the dilley family detention center (a distopian confluence of words) is nicer than some elementary schools in San Antonio I wish @facethenation.bsky.social asked if he would send his own 5yo kid there for kinder The unmitigated gall Pinche sin vergüenza

Martin, an 18-year-old citizen, traveled with his Madison-area soccer team to Minneapolis for a Futsal tournament. He saved up money so his mom could take time off work to go with him. But while they were there, ICE took his mom, who has been detained ever since. www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

Truth hurts when we gonna be great

Super packed meeting in Austin to hear about Austin PD relationship with ICE. This is just like the front portion of the school cafeteria

goddamnit

This set of essays, led by @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social and @adambonica.bsky.social, is really important. Folks should spend time with them. And their response to the responses reads like two scholars tired of bringing loads of evidence to a fight where some folks are just bringing vibes.

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

The fact that American white supremacy xenophobia led to Hispanic members of Border Patrol murdering a white man in the streets of Minneapolis for exercising constitutional rights kind of breaks my brain.

NOW FREE THE REST OF THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

At what point should people be calling the cops on the cops ?

What people need to understand is that the fascist GOP is an extension of the moneyed class. Its policies of repression are an outgrowth of the way this group preys upon society. This is the reason it feels like every institution is “failing” rn, bc in fact they operate at our collective expense.

This is a speech designed by someone who thinks you are stupid. He’s explicitly promising to keep the *recently tripled* budget of the DHS gestapo if there are “reforms” that, behind closed doors, their lawyers admit are unenforceable, irrelevant, and even harmful.
