As a proud U.S. citizen, Juana never thought she'd be zip-tied and detained by ICE for hours with her 3-year-old son, especially while attending a family-friendly event. They’re two of hundreds of people we’re defending in court for being targeted in an unlawful militarized immigration raid.

I am overcome. This is not an ordinary video. This is a call to action. And love.

We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

In the middle of a once-in-a-generation attack on academia and the humanities by the right in the US, as people are losing funding and jobs, and we don't even know if our disciplines will make it out alive, Tyler Austin Harper decides that it was time to attack the Mellon Foundation.

Devastated to learn that Univ of Texas at Austin is closing the American Studies dept. The years I spent there earning my PhD were formative, making me the teacher, thinker, and writer I am today. I've passed on what I learned at UT to thousands of students over the past 20 years. Just awful.

"As I went outside...that tear gas got into me. And I’m breathing in, and it kind of felt like glass shards in my nose and my throat."

This 10 year old boy was chased down by ICE in South Jersey. I am beyond outraged, both as an American and as a father to two boys. Our system is broken. The first step to fix it is for ICE to leave our state.

man ... lying under oath really ought to be a crime, you know?

Great to see Red Squirrel at Loch Leven, wish we had them down South ,instead of the invasive Grey Squirrel .

According to Julie K. Brown, who did such invaluable reporting on Jeffrey Epstein for the Miami Herald, the Bard College Board of Trustees is conducting an emergency meeting tomorrow. I hope they do the right thing. x.com/jkbjournalis...

ICE is still active all across Minnesota, even parking at observers homes this morning. But we’ve been showing up all weekend with massive food drives, placing hearts where were abducted, at singing marches, and there’s another big protest at Jackson Square Park today at noon. Let’s keep showing up!

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title… “How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work” Way to devalue my experience.

Here's the document: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Here are the lawyers doing this:

UPDATE: Newest DOJ/DHS effort to block congressional oversight visits to immigration detention facilities launched on Valentine's Day. It's not a new one, it's a renewal of the "because of the (latest) shutdown, there is no 527, so we can't violate 527, so there is nothing to enjoin" argument.

“That silence around pregnancy, and its risks, that's being normalized by these [abortion] bans is deeply, deeply concerning,” said Pro Publica reporter Lizzie Presser. @michelebgoodwin.bsky.social adds, “It's really horrific what we see coming out of Dobbs.” #velshi

(I should say that reporting from local & student newspapers has been invaluable in showing the extent of Botstein's relationship with Epstein, and that I've been especially grateful for the Albany Times Union, the Rhinebeck Daily Catch, and student newspapers the Free Press (RIP) and the Observer.)

Leon Botstein, president of @bardcollege.bsky.social, has repeatedly made public statements about his relationship with the pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that have turned out to be misleading, incomplete, or untrue. I'm going to make a thread to compile them all here.

As Will Bunch says, we won a battle, but the struggle is far from over... Gift link: share.inquirer.com/V6ApXN

Brief self-promotion: This spring I am doing workshops and talks for a humanities collective at nyu, association of women in math, teaching advancement folks at UNT, a school of social work, a bunch of brain scientists, an anonymous neighborhood group in occupied MN, and some folks at UVA.

"In Minneapolis, Native American patrols keep watch – and see history repeating: ‘We are still being chased’"

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape. After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

This is an argument that leads inevitably to an argument that a genocide of the Indigenous peoples of the USA was/is justified since they did not share the history, faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry or sacrifices made by forefathers of the settlers.

Correct. it's not erasing you to acknowledge the validity of someone else's experiences and existence. Ever.

Beware, for the ferocious chicken-face has arrived.

least shocking revelation

gooooood morning it is brisk and partly sunny, and our loop around the neighborhood was uneventful - but we shared our snacks with the crows and got some real good sniffing done, so yes: Lucy Loved That Walk

Lilly Reich worked with Mies van der Rohe while her work was completely unrecognized until architecture historians discovered that she was the uncredited equal contributor to the Barcelona Pavilion (and the chair that came with) and was the official administrator of Bauhaus until Nazis shut it down

O'KEEFE: What's so wrong with obtaining a judicial warrant to enter private property? HOMAN: That's not what federal law requires O'KEEFE: As I recall, you previously said you thought judicial warrants were required HOMAN: I didn't have a change of heart. That's the DOJ guidance

"Hundreds of people gathered Saturday at the Minneapolis American Indian Center to bring attention to the high numbers of Indigenous people who have gone missing or been murdered."

The SAVE Act — which would stop millions of American citizens from voting — is Trump’s election power grab in legislative garb. bit.ly/4qrNeJO

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language." I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

Many people in South Africa, where Elon is from, died to create a genuinely multiracial polity. They were killed by people who thought like Elon. The people who thought like Elon also lost. Seems their “common culture” of white supremacy wasn’t enough. bsky.app/profile/alan...

"Billionaires like thinkers who see their exploitation of the weak as good and natural. Epstein funneled ~$20m a year to academic men who shared his ideology [and got] to hold forth in formal sessions at Harvard, condemning feeding and caring for the poor as if he were making a scholarly argument."
