The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Of all the stupid things that this regime has done, this is right up near the top. Postdoctoral researchers come to the US on H-1B visas. This will further destroy the US science enterprise. Stupid stupid stupid.

“In turning over personal information to the government, the UC gave us a glimpse into how it handles injustice: by turning its back on students and faculty and leaving us at a loss for information and security.” www.dailycal.org/opinion/edit... @ucaft.bsky.social

Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.

If you feel stuck —emotionally, creatively— watch Moonage Daydream, a hypnotic film about David Bowie.

En el formulario para un evento literario me pidieron mi cuenta de bluesky, pero no de X. Tómala, Elon.

Take note.

Gentle reminder

Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk has been released from US detention after six weeks of incarceration for writing an op-ed in the school newspaper.

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro

BREAKING: New Jersey mayor Ras Baraka has been arrested at an ICE detention center where he was protesting its opening, acting U.S. attorney says.

Arresting opposition officials is an escalation of fascist tactics. Members of Congress should be demanding his release right now, even if only to save themselves in the future.

Hay que vernos

atenção, Rio de Janeiro, pois dia 13/05 teremos mais um evento de 'um nome não é uma chave', vai ter bate-papo, leitura de poemas, risadas e abraços. coloquem na agenda!

"I hate almost everything that I see And I just wanna disappear"

"Mi nombre suena bien con tu apellido". Qué piropazo. ¡Y endecasílabo!

Begging yall to stop calling it deportation when it's done to citizens. You cannot deport a citizen. Don't normalize the idea that citizens can be deported.

Desde hace meses, despierto cada día con esta pregunta en la cabeza: ¿y ahora qué me invento para resistir sin derrumbarme?

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien." Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway. This is Fascism.

Acabo de ver Incendies (2010) y creo que este es uno de los mejores pósters de película ever, pero tienes que verla para entenderlo.

“¿Apenas te das cuenta? Siempre ha sido así” - la típica reacción de la intelligentsia reaccionaria frente a cualquier protesta social.

Imagine spending years learning and writing a dissertation that dealt with race or gender to contribute to the body of human knowledge, just to have it wiped from your state libraries. Research on humans is inconvenient for their plans, so they're trying to erase hard-won knowledge.

Legal residents of the US are being sent to prisons in El Salvador where they are being abused. The president, the vice president and the secretary of state are committing the heinous crime of human trafficking.

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

Me comí un burrito de 5000 calorías. Ayuno hasta el lunes.

Preparándome para una conversación en zoom sobre mi poesía, vuelvo a "Defacing the Monument" de Susan Briante, libro más vigente que nunca. Aquí va un fragmento (largo). fenceportal.org/defacing-the...

"An emergency rally has been called for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Powder House Square in Somerville to protest a Tufts international graduate student being taken into custody Tuesday by federal authorities." www.cambridgeday.com/2025/03/26/p...

All she did was write an op-ed. That's it. One of my past mentees is a current international student at Tufts. This is absolutely terrifying.

Free speech warriors and conservatives who fight for the First Amendment and bla bla bla, please defend this. A student arrested by masked individuals on campus for writing an OP-ED! Federal Government Detains International Student at Tufts www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/u...

Another student kidnapped and disappeared by masked ICE agents for voicing an opinion.

súper alterado por los secuestros de estudiantes internacionales por ais. el video de la estudiante turca es atroz. esto tiene que parar.
