Virginia voters will decide the future of abortion access @19thnews.org

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

NEW: The Biggest Takeaways From Our Investigation Into Grazing on Public Lands

surprise, the inside candidate hand-picked from the business school by the right wing board is a scammer who cooked his CV and systematically misrepresented credentials to impress idiots and politicals who know nothing about academic work

NEW: It appears billionaire Bill Ackman has donated $10k to a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Good. Ackman has reposted the fundraiser but hasn’t posted about his own donation.

En la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, como en otras instituciones españolas, no debería haber hueco institucional alguno para Repsol. Aquí la compañía reconoce abiertamente su complicidad imperialista en su deriva ecocida, en una clara muestra de apoyo al fascismo trumpista:

On day 8 of our Administration, @governor.ny.gov and I announced the beginning of universal childcare in NYC. No longer will New Yorkers be forced to choose between starting a family and continuing to live in the city they love. This only happened because of you.

huge Ws on the horizon

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him. Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

Federal immigration agents have now shot and killed multiple people since Trump took office a year ago. Today alone marks the second deadly ICE shooting IN A WEEK. An off-duty shot and killed a 43-year-old father in CA on Dec. 31.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

One my absolute favorite pieces to assign. I will recommend this to reporters, editors, strangers, etc.

No woman I know in academia would be surprised by this, but its good to see it documented like this, I guess.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Uno de los mejores libros que he leído este año. Si os interesa saber cómo o dónde estamos os lo recomiendo mucho.

It’s the entire point. There’s no plan to make this meaningful for students. No plan to use it administratively. Its design and implementation signals its only real intent. It’s best and easiest use case is for systematic harassment and to scare faculty into complying in advance.

From a focus group of Gen Z Republicans. (www.city-journal.org/article/manh...) Tell me again about how Zohran Mamdani is the big threat to Jewish thriving in the US today.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

France exonerates women convicted over abortions before legalisation

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

"Our analysis shows that in the aftermath of extreme weather events, lower-income neighbourhoods are less likely to rebuild and do not return to their pre-disaster state, whereas higher-income areas rebuild and tend to improve...highlighting increasing disparities in their built environments."

Parece ser que ha fallecido Asad Haider, una de las voces más jóvenes e innovadoras de la teoría política. Su libro «Identidades mal entendidas» (@traficantes.bsky.social, 2020) sigue siendo una de las lecturas más lúcidas para entender estos años convulsos. Una pérdida enorme.

“Muñoz Molina has what we might call a hypermoral sensibility, which drives his newspaper writing and, I argue, simultaneously drives his novel writing.” New at PB: @becquer.bsky.social on the novelists who became Spain’s premiere op-ed columnists.

“Where everything else felt exhausted, the classroom was overflowing, plentiful. All we needed was a poem, a few hours each week, and trust in what we could do, in what we did do, together.” @johannawinant.bsky.social on the real power of close reading in a growing age of austerity:

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

God has let Bolsonaro slip the icy cold grip of death time and time again just so this moment can happen

"Pela primeira vez na história, militares são punidos por golpe." 25/11/25, escalada do Jornal Nacional.

This is spot-on. The UVA "deal" might be the worst/most dangerous (so far). With the help of UVA's leadership, Trump coerced a leading U.S. university to foreswear all efforts (including 100% lawful measures) to achieve diversity. A betrayal of our values. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Post a movie where you are from

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

The last female Governor of South Dakota was Kristi Noem. A Native woman is running for the seat in 2026 as an Independent. Allison Renville is Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota, Hunkpapa Lakota, Omaha and Haudenosaunee.

Take that in! More than TWENTY THOUSAND children are too afraid to go to school because of state terrorism!

Whenever people discuss if ChatGPT should be used in education, it should be noted that OpenAI's board includes a a professor who sought advice from a pedophile on how to manipulate one of his mentees into having sex with him, and in those conversations they substituted her name with a racial slur.

teaching a short excerpt from rob nixon’s ‘slow violence’ this morning. this is how nixon starts the book, reminding you that the global south has always known larry summers for the moral degenerate that he is.

I had a great conversation about this phenomenon with some sociologists at ASA once. A colleague took me to task for failing to see how they KNOW the reference. They aren’t misreading literary references — they are wielding them to demonstrate their power to shape our ethics.

Two weeks into a new program that gives New Mexico children free childcare, officials are opening up about the surge that happened day one & how it’s been moving forward. In just a short time, the state said thousands of children are now enrolled in free childcare, & daycares are lining up to join.

1) 'Why I Resigned' from UVa Prez 100% worth reading www.documentcloud.org/documents/26... 2) Events were forced by NYT story w leaked info that he was under pressure to resign. UVa prez has 'no idea' where leaks came from (See below.) 3) FWIW same NYT team did leaked "Harvard will cave" stories

Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

I also told the reporters that this entire campaign was an exercise in white supremacy, an effort to resegregate UVA. They left that out. Lots of people still find such statements too uncomfortable to consider.

it's been hard to put this feeling into words, but we've spent the past couple of decades being lectured to and patronized by an elite class that spent its free time joshing with jeffrey epstein about his little sex abuse empire while lecturing us about how out of touch we are

Meanwhile, “did women ruin the workplace?”

I just googled this man like 'ew who tf is this Tom Barrack guy' and the answer is the sitting, Donald Trump-appointed U.S. Ambassador to Turkey
