Things I never thought I would type: look at how they greeted the Algerian team arriving back at the DoubleTree in Lawrence, Kansas

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

Feel like its bad that federal officials believe they can act with impunity in assaulting a United States Senator. Late stage empire shit. www.nj.com/news/2026/05...

A brilliant and useful piece you should read by @perrybaconjr.bsky.social and @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social.

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

New, from me: This should be a clarifying moment about the relationship the Supreme Court's opposition to representative democracy in America. Lets look at some graphs that make this point. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/power-demo...

Many are appropriately outraged by Altman’s comments here implying that raising a human child is akin to “training” an AI model. This is part of a broader pattern where AI industry leaders use language that collapses the boundary between human and machine. 🧵/

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE. And this is what they called it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/n...

In a time where so many of us need to see this modeled more than ever, Alysa's mindset of joy over all else and refusing to use shame to motivate herself has been so inspiring to watch.

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

What an incredible image.

The whole interview is worth it

Showing cross-racial solidarity is a potential death sentence. There are few things white supremacists hate more.

At a deep theoretical level, Stephen Miller and JD Vance think their view that immigrants threaten social solidarity is widely shared. But what's now happening is MAGA is driving native-born Americans to show solidarity with immigrants. Now Miller is trying to break that up w/coercion and violence.

🧵 Trump administration AI policy is widely described as deregulatory. This description is misleading. What's happening is not the absence of governance but its rearrangement--intensive state intervention operating through mechanisms we don't typically call regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Incredible that he did this. Terrifying that he felt the need to.

There are only three possible outcomes for undocumented immigrants in this country: mass deportation, amnesty, or legal limbo (i.e., status quo for last 40 years). The first causes violence in communities and harassment of citizens. The third quietly ruins people's lives, as opportunities pass them.

The best time to abolish ICE was 2003, but the next best time is right now.

ICE has been terrorizing peaceful communities for months, routinely escalating situations and making people feel unsafe in their neighborhoods. And now a woman is dead. DHS has been reckless in their hiring, training, & execution. Sec Noem should resign & apologize to those harmed by her actions.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

“Tenure density” is such a cursed euphemism. Departments that tenure most of their faculty are successful departments.

Go with 1990s racist immigration policy, get 1990s polling numbers with Latinos. assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/cms/prod...

Great news: finally Miles Hewstone is exposed. I stopped citing him years ago, I warned friends/colleagues when I saw them publishing together, I informed as many people as possible about him. We all did. Had this piece been published 15 years ago, everyone would have already known. Shame on Oxford.

a) these changes illustrate how the “smartness” in what’s framed as an individual smart or dumb choice (your major/grad degree) is determined by structural factors in how they’re rewarded, not their intrinsic value b) the illustration’s especially stark when those structural factors change overnight

We are doing a pilot survey about how prospective PhD students in PSYCHOLOGY make decisions about applying to grad programs. If you are thinking of applying to a program in the future, and have 2-5 minutes to spare, could you take this survey? 🫶 northwestern.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

A new report from Bright Line Watch finds experts now rate the U.S. as a "mixed" or "illiberal" democracy. The rating is dragged down by Trump's attacks on institutions, a weak legislature, political violence, and partisan gerrymandering www.gelliottmorris.com/p/experts-no...

This is an illegal and dangerous weaponization of the federal government. That Jack Ciattarelli and the Trump admin are breaking the law and exposing private records for political gain is a violation of anyone who has ever served. No veteran's record is safe. www.cbsnews.com/news/nationa...

One thing you learn in life is that "speaking truth to power" and practicing integrity is easy when your job, your money, your fame, or your office is not on the line. The hard is speaking truth and practicing integrity when any one of those is on the line. That is the test of who you are.
