There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

A friend went to see the new Wuthering Heights movie this weekend & reported that all the characters were horrible. Me: Well that part's like the book then.

I've read every Tubman biography at this point. For those interested, the materials from teach-ins I've facilitated about her over the years are here: radicalblackwomen.com/harriet/

China recently executed a dozen criminals accused of operating Myanmar scam camps. The UN estimates that over 100k people from around the world have been trafficked to the camps, lured with the promise of well paid work in Thailand. AI generated fake ads on social media are used to reel in victims.

I think it was @tressiemcphd.bsky.social who was insistent that we decouple our online work lives from our online personal lives and here's data point one million supporting that theory. A lot of people can't ditch google for work functionality, but separating out personal accounts gives you options

NEW: One of the most progressive institutions in the U.S., The New School, has begun destroying its humanities departments. They have cancelled one of their most popular classes, "Global Soccer and World Politics." We are going to teach it anyway. karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-new-sc...

Pretty lucky when a large river otter walks out of Puget Sound while you happen to have a camera pointed that direction. Very unexpected find at Lincoln Park in #Seattle today. #photography #wildlife #mammals #mustelids

Seattle neighbors sent a message at the Northgate Target store today. Large group went in the store & delivered letter with demands to manager. Target Corporation Stop Supporting ICE. #ICEOUTMN #ABOLISHICE #BOYCOTTTARGET

Showed off my ebike to a friend after the concert tonight. We're gonna find a time for me to visit so he can test ride it. He was really excited because he says they've got a car on its last legs & he was wondering about replacing it with an ebike.

(10/11) Dubal’s research showed that dynamic rates are coming for wages too, with Uber drivers with identical workloads and performance getting different pay based on the lowest amount the algorithm calculated they’d accept. www.columbialawreview.org/content/on-a...

(3/11) A December 2025 Consumer Reports investigation found that Instacart prices for identical items varied by as much as 23% between different users. Instacart characterizes these discrepancies as routine ‘A/B testing’. www.consumerreports.org/money/questi...

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Cannot recommend this thread enough if you value privacy/security in your digital tools

Which basically means any politician trying to speak out forcefully about the excesses and abuses by CBP/ICE has to reckon with the fact that local and state police departments have been engaged in very similar practices and in many cases with a similar pack of accountability.

If you want to learn what SSPE is like, there are real stories from real people about the devastation measles can wreak even years later

Friend is performing in a concert in N Seattle tonight. Wanted to try out a Thai place on Lake City Way but there was no bike parking *anywhere* for blocks, so now having dinner someplace with bike racks.

As federal immigration agents surge into communities and detain people, the number of habeas petitions — claims challenging those detentions — has increased. We are tracking the historic rise in these cases, which are overwhelming the court system ⤵️

In the US, the resistance to progress on many things, usually has a component of "the majority of white US folk prefer the outcome of what the system was previously doing."🤷🏿‍♂️ As in, most white US folk don't want George Floyds. But they do want the ability to call the cops on random Black people.

A neither good nor bad thing, is that systems that have been the same way for a long time, are often very resistant to change. If they weren't resistant to change, they would have been changed already! Often, driving change requires finding the buffer or dynamic that causes that resistance.

The New York Public Library's Schomburg Center released 100 Black Voices, an astonishingly good reading list featuring books selected by some of today's most celebrated Black writers, artists, and luminaries.

#BHM Day 15: Black Pilgrims on the Road 🧶 The figure at the heart of this colorway is a Black knight shown mid-journey, riding with purpose rather than spectacle. He appears in the late-15th-cent travel account of Arnold von Harff’s travel account, a record of pilgrimage routes, 1/6 #yarnsky

At The Beacon Cinema to see Cyd Charisse in The Band Wagon on a semi-large screen. Fred Astaire is also in it but I care much more about Cyd Charisse. 😆

Recently in one of the education sessions the doctors I work with run, they brought up how many children used to die from measles each year. 2 million. 2 MILLION children used to die every year, worldwide, from measles. That is the world anti-vaxxers want, and it is evil.

I'm crying. You're crying. We're all crying.

While MLPS was a victory, moral and tangibly, for ICE resisters, don't call it 'a retreat.' The dystopia is just getting started Thousands of new agents. 150 new offices in every state. And the nationwide gulag archipelago. The fight has just begun My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Today is the last day to get your hands on Feb's monthly yarn or roving colorway: Petals & Presence. The story of our figure of inspiration was one I really enjoyed researching bc she was a little outside my area of expertise. Twas a win win bc I learned so much along the way too! 🧶 #yarnsky

I laughed so hard! 🤣

After measles immunization campaigns, child mortality goes down-- not just for measles but for a bunch of other diseases! Because getting rid of measles protects kids' immune systems. Look up "immune amnesia." It's freaky.

If you're a writer, you may need to start adding language to your contracts about post-publication "editing"

Good Morning ☀️ 🏜️ Growing up in Michigan, this is NOT what I thought the desert looked like…

You only need to visit one to know for sure. Go during visiting hours and see what these families are being put through. I met a woman holding a 4 month-old baby whose husband is inside, and two people whose family member is missing. Just gone. ICE doesn’t know where he is anymore.

This is called a community college and if we funded them properly we wouldn't need private individuals to offer these kinds of services.

Did Paul Duane leave Bluesky?

@e-van-every.bsky.social - Something to try on your visit?

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Corporate suits have never understood.

A thing folks often forget about Revolution-era America is there were pockets of Catholics who’d effectively had their faith suppressed *in America* and, also, French Huguenots who were only here because Catholics in France massacred thousands of them and threw their bodies into the Seine River.

A friend had to work overnight recently because the llm used by the consultants his managers had hired to do sales analytics for rhe year had come back and told them to discontinue their most popular shoes in middle of hiking season because it randomly hallucinated a better selling shoe.

The arguments in Christianity about when a heterosexual couple could be considered married lasted for 1500 years. I'm not even joking.

The Department of Homeland Security has had to correct information provided to at least five states after its SAVE voter tool misidentified some voters as noncitizens, according to correspondence between state and federal officials. With @texastribune.org

Well yes. It's a word generator. It makes shit up.

👏👏👏👏👏

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
