I feel this in my bones as a professor

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Congress is scrambling to pass a DHS funding bill by Friday, and we need to make it loud and clear that our senators and representatives must oppose any bill that hands ICE and Border Patrol more funding or fails to include strict safeguards to protect our communities.

Join us in Chambers Hall today at noon for a talk by Lori Beaman on "Sexual Harassment in Urban India: Prevalence and an Intervention." spr.ly/63321hMWxc

4/ “Mi Familia,” by 5-year-old Luisanney Toloza from Venezuela, who had recently crossed the U.S.-Mexico border

3/ “I have never been separated from my siblings and its honestly sad because they are little and they need their mom and sister.” From 14-year-old Ariana V.V, whose U.S.-citizen siblings are 2 and 5 years old. Detained for 45+ days

2/ “I miss my school and my friends I feel bad since when I came here to this Place, because I have been here too long.” From 9-year-old Susej F, detained for 50+ days

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

The Psychology of Resistance Virtual Meeting Series meets again Mon, Feb 9: social psychologists (incl @tijana-et-al.bsky.social, @yasemingacar.bsky.social, @thia-sagh.bsky.social) & activists will discuss prefigurative movements in Lebanon, Serbia, & Turkey. Registration: tinyurl.com/prefigurative

Here is Chyei Vinluan's new paper (now with journal formatting) on the importance of subgroup distinction when discussing representation of Asian Americans in STEM

People are unaware of inequalities in Asian subgroup representation in STEM & base their perceptions on group typicality beliefs. Interventions informing about Asian STEM representation increase support for data disaggregation of Asian subgroups. @mwkraus.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Iowa closing the African American studies major during Black history month is diabolical. This article is from 4 days ago, but it is now official. The minor will continue.

It gives real-ish time responses and you can check your answers against the data and others' responses. There are four mini modules on (1) founding, (2) funding, (3) function, and (4) future. Please share.

I gathered a few resources you can use & take action with to protect your communities from ICE: stopicetoday.com

Here is a little informational Q&A module about ICE, check it out and share with a friend: northwestern.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

BREAKING: A federal judge has EXTENDED Haiti TPS! U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes’ order read it was “substantially likely” that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem preordained her termination decision because of “hostility to nonwhite immigrants.” HERE TO STAY! WI NOU KAPAB!

Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/

amazing seeing photos from all over the country of people showing up—even on the coldest of cold days—to say hell no to this government. keep it up, everyone.

High school students marching against ICE this afternoon in Detroit, Michigan

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

The anti-ICE/CBP rally in Chicago's Daley Plaza has grown significantly in just the last half hour. The crowd is spilling out into street; I'd say there's over a thousand people here at this point.

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

I thought this was fake, but apparently, they've arrested Don Lemon for reporting from Minneapolis. I'm not a huge Don Lemon fan, but this is totalitarian nonsense meant to threaten anyone who reports on the regime's horrors.

The government is using technology to identify protestors, and then using that information to track and intimidate them. The people using the devices are wearing masks, but we know the companies creating the technology. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/t...

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

They're arresting Black journalists for covering dissent

I keep coming back to this clip as a symbol of the Democratic Party’s challenges. Murphy correctly says ICE “is not about safety or immigration, but a pretext for Trump to take over.” Given this fact, Democratic leadership’s reform and fund plan makes no sense.

As @hebagowayed.bsky.social and I wrote in our Guardian article on abolishing ICE, this is Homan threatening to gun down Americans for using their free speech rights to accurately describe ICE as fascist secret police. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

now - especially now - a reminder that we are going to win. and this is why

Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation say federal agents shot a man multiple times in south Minneapolis this morning. A video taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts shows agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him multiple times. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

There is a picket line the entire length of the departures terminal.

Thousands outside Terminal 1 at the Minneapolis airport now.

Dissertation submitted and postdoc offer accepted :)

It’s shameful verging on collaborationist that universities slashed DEI rather than fighting the administration on this.

So all colleges and universities will bring back the DEI stuff they cut when obeying in advance right...............................................................................................................................................right?

Trump administration drops legal appeal over anti-DEI funding threat to schools and colleges. This leaves in place a federal judge's ruling that the anti-DEI effort violated the First Amendment and federal procedural rules. (Via AP) apnews.com/article/dei-... #ncpol #nced
