The NARA San Francisco office is *the* place to study histories of US immigration and western histories of all sorts. Its staff are extraordinarily valuable for researchers, historians, and citizens who visit daily to learn more about these topics. This is terrible. www.kqed.org/news/1208890...

Hell yeah we are

The collective journalistic freakout over someone disliking a cafeteria sandwich at Oberlin or some Yale students asking their peers to be less racist at Halloween has generated far more copy and uproar than multiple universities illegally firing faculty for nonconservative speech they disliked.

The DAR is more progressive on Trans people than the supposed front runner for the 2028 Democratic Party nominee and Governor of California.

I started to line up all of my best arguments for why the panopticon is bad, actually, but then I remembered that none of these guys are arguing in good faith. These are the people who profit off of the panopticon and they have no intention to engage in "radical transparency" themselves.

News — University of Central Florida (UCF) abruptly shut down two of its three libraries today, plus an important resource desk within the main library. Staff were given no warning. UCF is the 2nd largest public university in the country w/ ~70k students. Library hours page confirming closures:

Or as @naomiaklein.bsky.social put it:

I want to propose a toast to Sergey Brin, who's unintentionally making the case for a billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

Shanette Williams, whose daughter Amber Thurman died after being denied abortion care, speaks out against GA abortion ban We have to come together and fight this. We have to look people in the face, in the eye, and tell them that this is wrong. We demand a change.

Two powerful earthquakes, magnitude 7.1 and 7.5, struck west of the Venezuela capital Caracas, causing widespread devastation. Interim President Delcy Rodriguez declared a state of emergency. Experts warn the death toll could be in the thousands.

HEY CHICAGO! The city wants to sell your parking meter company to the same private-equity firm that owns Omni Air International, the worst of the worst of ICE's charter airlines. The city council's finance committee is meeting about it TOMORROW. 1/

ICE/Geo drove into a demonstrator today.

“Officials in Kansas City, Missouri, are preparing to equip some public buses with facial recognition cameras capable of detecting whether a passenger appears on a list of banned riders or missing persons.”

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

ok TRULY wild. I have some jumbled thoughts about this that I'm gonna tack on here like a true child of Tumblr, so sorry about that, but:

This thread is wild

😒 man you blew $200M you could’ve just paid us, and now you’re like “I dunno, i feel like I just want to focus on my life rn, but I’ll still be a ~fighter~ 4 uuu”

When the city announced it would open its first-ever direct-care clinic for trans people, it seemed like Mamdani was finally delivering on his campaign promises for trans youth. It isn’t. The clinic will deny care to anyone under 19 — adopting the exact age cutoff from Trump’s anti-trans EOs.

"Instead of handing it back, Gabriela said the guards ripped the drawing instead, in front of her daughter, who burst into tears. “She was destroyed,” said Gabriela."

Watching all these college graduations full of radical ass kids booing CEOs is making me so jealous. Our commencement speaker was Eric Greitens, a MAGA Navy Seal on some bs about hard work, and we all just sat there quietly. Here’s what became of him: missouriindependent.com/2022/03/21/e...

🧵:

Please tell me if I'm misunderstanding something, but universal basic income (UBI) proposals being hawked by tech CEOs feel like something we should all HARD reject.

Every single day I wake up hoping that some US legal mechanism will finally treat every single staffer in the Trump administration like the Rebecca Grossman-ass creeps they are and we can get $200M settlements for every single cruel murder they think they can just drive away from.

The real problem with FIFA and the IOC is that despite knowing how terrible and corrupt they are, every time the world gets together, we all fall in love with each other. Makes us it hard to boycott. www.instagram.com/reel/DZbNaL0...

If you’re watching the World Cup today, maybe also consider reading this piece by August Chun for @prismreports.org that details why organizers in host cities want to “abolish FIFA.” (Hint: Mega sports events go hand-in-hand with militarized policing and displacement.)

This ICE flight believed to be carrying Afghan, Syrian and Iranian asylum seekers to the Central African Republic is underway. Omni Air International, may you rot in infamy and shame.

Protesters gathered in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center and Edward R. Roybal Federal Building on N. Almere St. on the one year anniversary of the Ambiance Apparel raid by federal immigration agents. Over 100 protesters gathered and were met by federal agents.

When you run for LA mayor but you’ve never voted for LA mayor before.

Spencer Pratt was really the perfect litmus test for who actually knows any amount of ball about politics vs. who had their brain completely cooked by the algorithm.

Like, we as a country are better w higher ed--our greatest source of soft and hard power ever--being supported in every state. Inarguably. But state-level GOP have made it clear they are done with that. That's the current political reality. So GIVEN THAT, blue states should be hiring like mad.

It's happening 🚨 House GOP representatives are about to introduce a bill that would completely eliminate subsidized student loans. They are trying to make it impossible to go to college unless you can afford to pay for it upfront.

This country is so mf embarassing. www.latimes.com/travel/story...

"Teach kids to use AI responsibily" and "kids should only use it to give them inspiration or do research" means kids aren't learning. The essay is the final productand what they get the grade on, but 90% of the learning happens in the spaces where we're shifting kids to LLMs.

"There’s so much solidarity, whether we’re locking arms, whether we’re receiving a community member who’s been recently released. One thing they can’t deny is that we’re unified and that the whole state is coming together to organize at Delaney Hall in support of those on strike."

are you mf joking
